Most odd and most curious...
I use the trip odometer to log my mileage inbetween LPG fills cos I am a total geek and I log my MPG, miles, Costs etc...
Logging MPG can give warning of issues, a sudden dip could be caused by something like a blocked LPG or Air Filter...PCV Failure, Binding brakes etc...
Anywho I digress...
Noticed this morning about 7 miles into my journey to work, my Trip was reading 1.2 miles - and I filled up 26 odd miles ago!
OK no matter small hiccup just add 25 miles to the reading when I fill up....
Hopped in mid morning to pop to the Post Office, and the mileage was still where it was when I got to work at 16.3miles (plus the 7 miles i had already done so actually I had done 23.3 to work which is normal) after about 1.2 miles I glanced at the trip again and it was back to 0.4 miles !!!!!
Popped into the Post Office and back into the car, the 3.2 miles journey was still there, and when I got back to the office it was sat at the correct mileage for the journey.
Stopped the engine and then ignition back on and the mileage is still correct....
The Clock and Date are still correct so it is not a voltage being lost issue, Check Control indicates a good voltage to the Instrument Panel, no starting issues and the battery and alternator charge are within the parameters...
Gonna now plug the All Comms in and see if there is a logged code (doubt it) and report back....
EDIT: Can't plug All Comms in - Put the Laptop on Charge the other night and it is still the living room...
