    Default Odometer.

    I believe mine has stopped. The bloke previous to me, stopped it. Is it just a disconnection of a wire? or socket? I would like to reconnect it.

    Also the fuel gauge sometimes is a bit dodgey, any quick fixes for that?

    Cheers

    My fuel gauge is dodgy, theres 4 things it can do when I fire the car up
    1. not work at all
    2. work
    3. work after min of driving
    4. nothing, so i have to tap it

    its odd how it needs some sort of spark or something to register the fuel and the 'tap' fixes it but why does it sometimes work with no probs?

    my bosses old vp he had to tap his all the time,like every 5 mins lol
