Unable to reset trip meter

Yes. me for one. Nothing for it but to take the speedo out and open it up, find the problem and fix it. Which I was not brave enough to do...
This is a pretty common fault on them. For an extra 5 UKP per car, Jaguar could have had Rolls Royce quality instruments, they were offered the deal, but turned it down, this was in the 1970s.

I have an extra speedometer which I took a look at. For the life of me, I can't figure how the reset works. It looks simple enough. Just a stem the pushes on a set of gears and dis-engages them. Something has to tell the trip meter where the beginning is. That might be the trip computer? My trip computer has been removed. Otherwise, I just don't see it. I did find, on-line, a shop that repairs speedometers of older cars. www.bobsspeedometers.com
I may give him a call. I not sure if it is really worth the trouble. I can calculate the miles.

I have never found out how to reset the trip meter.
Yesterday when reading Haynes just for fun, they mentioned a cable for this function near the inertia switch !!
My car is not near me now, so I have to ask:
Is that where to look for the trip meter reset button ? No wonder I haven't found it in the instrument cluster...
