Is the mfa set to no1 or 2? no1 gives journey (and resets after about 2 hours automatically) and no2 gives overall (until you press the reset)

b.t.w It may be the otherway round but I'm miles from my car to check......

Yeah I was gonna say that - if my battery voltage drops off too low the clock resets itself as well as the MFA readings.

Yeah i meant mfa :laugh:

I do have a problem with the battery losing charge over time if left for a couple of weeks due to a drain somewhere but since it's been in daily use i had no problems starting etc

How do i if the mfa is set to 1 or 2?

Aye - hold it to the left (past the 1 to reset current trip) and hold it to the right to reset overall values. If you leave it on 1 it shows current trip, leaving it on 2 shows overall :)
