I got a couple of those from a show near Bristol years ago - probably from USA cars - the knobs were plastic though - that looks like metal. I've never fitted one - maybe waiting for the mileage to match!

We got the lowest spec cars the UK importers could get away with - rip-off Britain back then too. The trip speedo was pretty much the norm on the USA models. Often the mechanism fails - there's a gear that splits I think. Could be that's why that one is at 999.9 miles.

Nope, I set it at 9999, works fine.
