Just out of interest

My car displays a wide variety of spurious faults on the check/cack display ranging from lights to washer fluid/oil levels these are all quite frankly b****xx. this may not seem imortant but i would like to know if anyone else has this special random fault of the day function on theirs?

 

cheers

On an L plate, your lucky the OBC still works!

Do the functions you request still work......like range, MPG etc.?

Have a fumble around the wiring, there may be a loose earth here.

oh and mine doesnt have the range/consum options its just a check control, on that point how difficult is it to upgrade that to full function?

 

cheers
