Hi,

it's a common fault unfortunately.

Oxidation on internal contacts AFAIK. Cure is a replacement.

Most people simply trip the milometer when they fill up and use that as a guide, refilling at the 250 mile mark.


Hope this helps.

As for wanting it back, it was only insured third party.... because it didn't have a tracker - catch 22! So it had to come back or be a total loss.

He was only keping the car a couple of months so didn't weant to put the cash out for a tracker.
