being worried about how many miles you got before it conks out and ur left stranded on a dark cold night, I'd suggest you trip the miles each time you put some juice in as a temporary measure - that's what I do after every fill up!

Afta a bit of sunday cleaning at my mates mum and dad's in the countryside - ace for washing my car! I knew I had to get some juice........petrol gauge was on, and 15 miles left on the range (and by my calculations I thought - yeah, that's just about right).
see ya later mate's mum and dad - fanx for the loan of ya services! ciao! offski I drives down the lane. but then........there's a splutta, and another........ /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif so I was thinking "those b*st*rds that serviced ma car have fcuked it!!!!!! (as it seems to take a slightly tiny bit longer to fire her over than usual - is this usual after new plugs etc?)" so I thought best pull over - I did and the b!tch died! PANIC PANIC PANIC! lol I tried starting her - no joy at all! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif
so now I'm stuck 6 miles from the nearest juice station (but I didn't know if it was juice, as the needle on the guage was still just in the red and 15 miles on the range /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif) anyway, from thought of logic, I'll call my mates old man, get him to get me some juice and see what happens - hey presto after a bit of waiting and running around she fired up! HURRAH! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif still my mates petrol can is [censored] and [censored] all over the back alloy leaving a lovely streak of sh!t everywhere - why'd I bother cleaning it? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif came off with a bit elbow grease.
anyway after putting a fiva of juice in, the range reset itself to 0 miles /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif a nice steady drive to the juice station (with my mate as my wingman, Top Gun stylee) and 30 quids worth in and teh guage is still going a little crazy - it went 3/4 full which I'd imagine is correct for the price from an empty tank, and 350 on the range, but then it crept up and up to near full and 370 on the range /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif
I reset all the computer thingys individually, but how do I do them altogether? I've done it once before when I first got the car by accident and now I can't memba how? lol
TOTAL b!tch it happened to me as everyone was like - oooh u and and ya fancy car and ya run outta petrol (fcukers /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif) but total joy that it's not FCUKED! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
