N15 Broken/intermittent tachometer

[Ben1551]

Hello. I dont know if I am posting in the right section but my tach is stuck like in the picture (its not jammed there just being pushed.) sometimes while driving it will work but the 0 point will be around 5 the rest of the dials work fine

Common issue on phase 1's, you need a new rev counter unit or just replace the whole clocks.

Just an update i took the dash apart to get to the tach, the solder contacts had rusted and dry jointed and it cant return to 0 due to a bad spring or somthing along those lines

That's normal for the rev counter to do that iirc

The tacho never returns to 0 if tried past a certain point.
