My odometer has decided to stop but not completely.

When I start the car it will move normally for about 800m and then the trip odometer will stop and consequently the main odometer will stay put too.

If I reset it nothing happens, but when I start the car again I'll get another 800m recorded.

Any ideas?

Update: Odometer has started counting again. For the record, all other gauges and meters worked fine.

Update: Odometer hasn't actually been working correctly. While the all other dials give an accurate reading, the odometers are reading less than they should. My odometer was reading 3.9 when we had actually gone 9.0 according to another car that was accurate in its readings.

Not sure why its doing this but once I figure it out I'll be sure to post about it.
