Mileage doesn't register

Second but less drastic problem. 245L 79 wagon. Speedo works re speed, but mileage, day trip doesn't budge. Wreckers told me it was a common problem. Can it be fixed, or does the whole instrument bundle need replacing? cheers,

There's a good chance a tooth is missing on that fragile plastic odometer gear. You could take one from a junker, but keep in mind that this one has some mileage as well. Another option is getting a new one from this guy:

And here's the step-by-step instructions complete with pictures:

Perhaps you can get just the gear from a Volvo dealer, could be worth a call.

Good luck!
