MFA reset's since ABF conversion?
« on: 06 August 2009, 14:50 »
Hi all,

i have had a search around and cant really seem to find the answer.

Since doing my conversion my trip computer now resets it's self after a couple of hours of not running the car. The clock does not reset but everything else does (MPG, Miles, 100hr counter). the only other info i can find relates to the fuse for the clocks but this if fine.

Any ideas very much apreciated as i love to start getting an idea of my mpg!

cheers

May be a daft question - but is the switch on the wiper stalk on position 1 or position 2?

While we're on the subject, anyone know how long it is before values held on switch position 1 last for? Seems about 3 hours.
