Don't worry about it you ain't putting miles on ye van
Bonus when you come to sell it!

Take it to a garage if your worried can see it being easy
To fix on a fiat.

But sorry no mate

yep its just the bulb, costs less than £2 and an easy fix by removing a few screws from the instrument panel
If its the same as my peugeot expert (by the looks of your signature pic it is)

wouldnt worry about it ,its easy to judge speed if a speed camera flashs your going to fast and if there is a long line of motors behind you and you are being pipped at your going 2 slow ;)

I always thought that an odometer detected how bad my dogs farts smell.....

Dictionary says "An odometer or odograph[1][2] is an instrument that indicates distance traveled by a vehicle, such as a bicycle or automobile. The device may be electronic, mechanical, or a combination of the two. The word derives from the Greek words hodós ("path" or "gateway") and métron ("measure"). In countries where Imperial units or US customary units are used, it is sometimes called a mileometer or milometer, or, colloquially, a tripometer"

I am always confused anyway  ??? I thought we went decimal years ago. We load up our tanks with litres of water then work out the weights in kilograms. Then we buy diesel in litres and try to work out our mpg and buy RO units in American Gallons per day and buy water fed poles by the footage.

It's a crazy system! I was taught SI units at school and that was bloody years ago and we're still using two systems seem to spend half my time trying to convert one to the other then back again.

I could rant about this all day!

I hope that clears it up!  ;D :P ;)
