Mileage/trip not working

Mileage trip won't record distance travelled.

Hi all,I'm new to this forum. I picked up a Mk1 Clipper today which has been well restored and is in good order. Its a 1989 model with 120,000 on the clock.I decided to press the trip on the dash literally within 2 miles of driving it and then I noticed when I got home that I had only travelled 1 mile. The trip had stopped at 0009 just before the 1 would click up.Anyway, this bugged me as well as concerned me so I took it back out for a 20 mile drive, the same kept occurring. I reset the trip on 7 different occasions and all this did was pop a mile on the main mileage each time but the trip re-locked every single time at 0009.I guess if I remove the dash, clocks etc…this could be fixed but I'm concerned now about the genuine miles on the car, I feel a bit of a t**t not checking this when I inspected the car.The trip prior to me setting it had 200 plus miles on it so it had been working in some fashion.Could anybody offer any advice on this matter. Many thanks, Craig.
