Hi
 
With figures like that you must drive flat out every where you go. I guess you are getting your figures from the trip computer so must be a problem there, try working out your MPG with out the computer. I get 25 MPG from a 24V towing a 16 ft car trailer. If you mean the 3 button module to control the computer then I think I have one.

I sprayed circuit cleaner intothe switch and it worked perfectly after that. didnt need to open it. is there a definate click when you press the reset button, if so the spray may do the job.....not to anoy you but I posted thisinthe NEWS section about good return in MPG from the same engine. Wink

Hi JohnJ
 
I did read your post in the news section thats why i put my post in cos my m.p.g was so low using boyh fuels, and yes there is a definate click when i press reset button.  Where can i get some circuit spray from, would like to try that first before replacing whole switch.
