Hi,

I've had my new 05 Monaro a few days now, really like it, it feels very big and solid on the road and it's really nice to be back on a V8.

Yesterday the Speedo, Revs and Fuel Gauge all went a bit mad with the fuel showing empty, speedo showing 160mph at idle and 200mph+ when I was moving and the revs off the limit. The digital trip display showed the correct speed though.

Once I reached home I stopped the car and restarted it and noticed they all went down a bit, so I kept stopping and starting the car untill the speedo had reached 0 and the others had reset themselves.

Anyone else experienced this problem? The car is under warranty + Network Q but since I've kind of reset it I suppose I don't need to worry.

Other things I've noticed is that 3rd gear seems to pop out occasionaly (could just be me though), the windscreen wiper seems to quite loud as it reaches the drivers edge of the window, and the radio reception doesn't seem that good (although I think I read somewhere you can adjust the aerial or something).

One other question - for now wink do people use normal unleaded or super (v-power).

Thanks

Elliot
