My car is a liar!
« on: 16 July 2007, 16:59:20 »

It said 0 miles - but it drove for another 2 without even so much as a cough until I filled it up. >:(



Just as well I suppose  :-[ ;D

Well there is the flashy petrol pump symbol as well on the dash  ;)

However i suspect unless Mark wired up your airbag on the steering wheel to go off when the low petrol light came on.......with LOW FUEL message printed on it.....i doubt you would notice any other warning  ;D ;)

The range feature ir the worst thing ever invented, the amount of times Mrs Tony H has returned from a journey with 1 mile on the display is unbelievable. If it had a conventionel petrol gauge she'd have bottled it and done some thing that is extreamely rare "PUT PETROL IN IT!!!"

There's nowt wrong with radio 2! Better than commercial radio with the adverts every 2 secs. Steve Wright, as already mentioned, is brillaint - Ask Elvis is brilliant.
If you top up your tank when the MID/TID?what-ever shows nothing left, you find that there was about a gallon left in there.

I get 0miles all the time and ignore it. My Gas system fools the computer i remember the first time it said 0miles and i was in the middle of nowhere but it  was fibbing as i had petrol left and Gas left it just upsets the computer as i do lots of miles on gas and dont use any petrol.
