Speedometer display not working
2002 r50. The odometer display stopped working today and I took it apart without being able to figure out the problem. Do I absolutely have to get a new assembly? And if I drive without the display, will any data be lost? Really need some input, this is very frustrating.

Hello Khai!
I understand your frustration. In checking with our resident tech expert, he said:
If only the odometer stopped displaying but the other functions on the speedo are working, I would 'guess' to say it is just a problem with the odometer display.
If it is a defective odometer display, I suspect the mileage will continue to be recorded in the computer even with the dead display.
The only way to be sure is probably to have a MINI dealer service facility perform a diagnostic test.
Hope this helps!

I am making an appointment next week to do my power steering recall, as well as diagnose this issue. I suspect the display also, I took it apart and looked at it, the display seemed to be just a snap in, with the clips being the contacts, if I was looking at the right part. I didnt take the face off because I was scared to damage the needles, but it looked like the display could be removed. I am just scared to get the bill or news that they won't fix it. This is my only vehicle.
