I'm on my second accord now (first one made it to 287k before I sold it)... and my second accord to have this problem. (this one is at 267k now...)
A few of the "segments" on the digits on my odometer have failed so the mileage isn't showing correctly...actual mileage is 267,413 and it shows as 2_7||| <--kinda what it looks like. The closest 5speed cluster I could find on ebay (and that I bought) has 207k miles on it....
Is there a way to roll it forward (I'm not interested in rolling it backward, which is ILLEGAL.) so I can have accurate mileage represented here? My first accord I just sold it as "actually has 45k more miles than it shows on the odometer" because I could never figure this out.
Aside from jacking the car up and running it forward, (which is dangerous and stupid), could I do something like turn the key to the "on" position, take the speedo cable out and spin it with a power drill or something and leave it there for a day or so?
