My dials worked but the odometer was only showing the top half of the numbers. I opened the back and touched the solder on each contact with a soldering iron to reflow the solder and it worked a treat. Now I have a perfect working odometer, I wonder if it's the same problem on a larger scale in your case??

Thanks for the reply. Looks like I will take the dash out and have a look.
