Hi fellow OOFERS.

It has come to my attention that some parts of my computer display on the good old Omega is not working as it should.

It reads instant consumption
It tells me the outside temperature
It tells me how much fuel i have used  etc, but,
When it comes time to tell me overall consumption as in ( You have averaged 28.8 mpg ) it don't want to tell me at all, It just says 0mpg.

Now maybe i have frightened it by not really wanting it to tell me but curiosity makes me mad, After all it killed the cat didnt it..

So, Does anyone have any idea why it does not tell me, Answers on a postcard and you shall be entered into the draw to win an all expenses night out with our favourite Prime Minister..You pay the expenses though..

Not entirely certain, but I keep hearing on this forum about the dash not being seated correctly? Dodgy connections at the rear of the console maybe?

Any one else?   :-/

does the average speed function seem valid? Is inst comsumption valid?

does the average speed function seem valid? Is inst comsumption valid?

Inst consumption works and looks valid.
Average speed stays on 0mph.

Inst consumption goes between 1.5 g/per hourand 32mpg..

Every other function works but average speed stays on zero.

Why does it alternate between mpg and gallons per hour and not show average speed.

below 10mph, it shows g/h, above mpg.  I reckon issue with speed signal.

Mine shows G/H most of the time..
Wheres the speed signal thingy then. I sometimes have one sat in the passenger seat but not always..

It gets its speed signal from ABS, same as speedo etc. Presumably speedo OK, so double check connection at back of MID.  Possibly faulty display unit, but the later type are 2-a-penny as they are normally so reliable
