Trip meter gone south!!! 700

Please help. My ol' reliable 740 trip meter has just stopped working i.e. refuses to acknowledge mileage. Normally this would not be an issue, however this was the only way we knew when to fill the car up with gas as our fuel guage does not work.

My question is twofold:

Firstly our trusted Volvo specialist have infomed us that to fix a faulty guage (it refuses to show full, will only go to halfway) is a time consuming job. Not too interested in spending a major amount of money to do this. Is this job is a large as our mechanic tells us???

Secondly, how hard is it too replace the speedometer trip meter??

Any help appreciated on this one.

P.S. the major tripmeter does not work also (car sounds a bit of a dud, but boy is it reliable and most importantly we love it). Long live the bricks
