Hi All Have had a (worrying? / expensive?) issue with the car today. The centre display on dash and also the repeater in the odometer has been misbehaving. car details: 1.6 diesel SR The car is down to about half a tank of diesel - circa 300 miles left. Mileage on car 27500 miles. I have the trip set to Trip A all the time. So an mpg of approximately 50mpg is about correct. However, when subjecting the car to acceleration / deceleration today, the Trip A (not the Instant) value varies between 99.9mpg (maximum value on device) and 24.8 mpg. In 30 seconds or so, the mpg value can go from the lower to mid to high mpg or shuffled and vice versa. The Instant value varies as per normal - hence a thought of an issue on a pcb? Trip B behaves as per Trip A. Could it be a sender? or fuel flow device that is jammed? - rubbish expensive diesel from Sainshack? OR a software issue? OR a loose connection? OR pub problem? The mileage is correct - using a rough and ready guide to / from home to destination & return. Anyone else had a similar experience? Thanks in advance Penguin
