286000 mile Exige!!!!
Discussion
HELP!!!!
Today I have had to bump start my Exige due to a flat battery....which was fine, started and ran fine...
HOWEVER....the mileometer now reads 286something thousand miles and when I switch the ignition off the dials spin clockwise until they hit the limit, buzz a bit and then stay where they are (they read fine when the car is moving!)
Any ideas on a fix? I am trying to sell the thing soon and I think 286k miles MAY hit the residuals slightly!!!
(only supposed to be 17,300!!!)
Cheers!

Do you have an MOT or similar recently from offical body? If you have say a MOT for 15K or service stamp for that, then you at least have evidence for when you want it changed. Are you still in warenty? if so, give lotus a ring and seee what they can do. Today I have had to bump start my Exige due to a flat battery....which was fine, started and ran fine...

Good luck!
Give this a try. We had a 111R that for some reason had the revs set @ 4000 and the speedo @ 40mph at a standstill and this does a reset on the console. Don't know if it will sort out the mileage side of thing:
- Turn off the ignition
- Open the driver's door (yes, really!)
- Press and hold the trip-meter reset button
- Whilst still holding the reset button turn the key in the ignition to the second position (just before the engine turns)
