At the time that I bought my '84 300D recently, the spedometer was inoperative (pegged to max) and a few of the other instruments did not work (although the odometer did work), so I sent the whole cluster off for repair and bought a used cluster in good operating condition (for $25!) and installed it. Now the repair service has sent back the old one saying it can't be repaired (they only work on later electronic instruments). Problem is, my car has 124,000 actual miles on it, as indicated by the original odometer; and the replacement cluster came from a donor car with 277,000 miles on it. I'd like to be able to swap out the odometer from the old cluster for the odometer in the replacement cluster. Is this do-able? Alternatively, is there some other way to reset the present odometer to accurately reflect the mileage on the car?
Thanks for any suggestions.
Jim
