nice one.

the car has 3 trip meters then?

MFD 1 = journey trip (2 hour period)
MFD 2 = trip till reset (reset using OK/Reset on right stalk)
MFD bottom right = another trip till reset (reset using 0.0 buttom)

they like their trip meters!

It took me ages to realise that it was the O:O reset button that you actually hold in to get the "time till next service" up aswell... I spent a while holding down the one on the stalk!!  Doh!

thanks for that northerner! didn't know you could even do that!! just tried it, done nearly 4k and still got 6700 till next service, more than I thought, I was guessing it would want one at around 9k.

Just did mine and it said 9700 until next service, only got just over 2000 on the clock but 250 of those were hammering around Castle Combe last month, so better than I thought  :grin:
