VDO Hours Counter Repair
If you have a VDO hours counter not displaying the hours there is a repair procedure to change the display.
It is not for the faint hearted!
I bought this from RS Components. Cost about £20.
Hours Run Meter Curtis 701PR001O-1248D2060A, LCD, 6 digits , 12 → 48 V dc, 20 → 60 V ac
• RS Stock No. 185-6107
• Brand Curtis
• Mfr. Part No. 701PR001O-1248D2060A

The meter calibration for the alternator speed will not work after modification
I have done this but do not ask me questions about technique.
It seems very reliable, 3 years.
