Anyone else had issues with the trip meter resetting itself? Keeping a track on the weekend's driving totals I noticed on way home yesterday the trip meter had reset somewhere around 650-700 miles and started from 0 again. Total journey time and fuel consumed was unaffected and continued to count up but the mileage had reset. I'm sure thats the 2nd time thats happened to me around the same sort of distance.

I've had something similiar on my trip to Skye, just assumed it was because I shared the driving with my wife and used two sets of keys.

Computer gave me 31.5 mpg on motorway and I calculated 29.5mpg on calculator. 327 mile round trip,guage still reads quarter full and distance remaining 94 miles! I did average 75mph on motorways and kept to maximum speed limits on A roads (way too many camera's to have fun these days).

Never known the car do so well on fuel. Perhaps the Octane Additive I've been putting in on the last two fill-up's has done the trick.

I wonder if the trip meter is limited to 1000klms which converts to 620mls??

Mine is still clocking up Bob and read 1800 miles by the time I got to Glasgow last night. In the exec lounge now with a whisky and beer!!!
