Morning Guys, Got a small problem with my new cosworth. when i switch the car on, my pertol moves to the half way mark and stops, I added £20 worth of petrol and the fuel computers keeps bouncing around between 30 and 40 miles remaining.
Any Ideas on what this problem might be.
Thanks

Ok, I have checked my temp guage and I have the same problem as my petrol guage.
Now, can I change the dash board without losing my current mileage record? I know its digital but I am not sure if its data is stored within the dash
Thanks

Drawlings,
There's no need to replace the instrument module - they're £250+ new and expensive from scrappers because they tend to know how expensive they are from FMD.
Follow the advice given on the page carefully and you can fix it yourself. When you reconnect it the same mileage will show again.
