I think what @PerfMad is getting at is that botched mileage tampering also can lead to certain parts of the speedo not working, saw a Mark 2 with a tampered meter (only had done close to 1000km in like 4 years, past four years of eco test reports missing) with a broken RPM meter, be careful mate. 

To answer your question...it depends on the car....in some cars, the different meters are physically seperate components just screwed on to the same faceplate. In some cars (ie. most cars) they are seperate dials connected on to the same circuit board. 

How can you fix a broken meter ? Well if it is the first type then you can just find a replacement meter...the second type (of even the first type if you don't want to replace it) there are people who fix up the circuitry and and mechanical components to make it work again (of course depending on what is wrong with it).

But..please do be weary about why the meter does not work....it could be because someone tampered with the meter or it could simply be because a broken cables/sensor/ stuck spring/etc...

iRage,

I agree to all on your post reply to meter problem.

Still it is better to get a person who is handling meter problems  for an another opinion.

I have had plenty of different opinions to a different subjects, from who are well qualified people.

Only one person gave me the correct answer, many were trying to earn thousands on that problem.

At last persons advice was the best to that problem. Still he is on that advice.

Already four years have passed with no problems whatso ever.

Once in six months he visits  that person and get the problem checked up.

That is also not for a fee, He will carry a present and gift him.

Therefore my advice is to get a different opinions from two or three professionals before coming to end decision.

This forum is there for motorists to get advice and different opinions.
