    out of fuel??

    Agreed. Mine wont show more than 13.7, and average speed of 26mph. Even after 200 miles on motorway. Took it on holiday to isle of white last year. 500 miles, averaged 15.9mpg, even though computer still said 13.7 and 26mph. Having said that mine hardly gets used, 50 ish miles a week at most, so...

    Trailer lights cutting out landy rear side lights.

    Fog lights will (should) only come on when lights are on. you can get socket testers, or with new mot regs on trailer sockets garages will have then. they plug in, you go through the various lights and it shows any probs

    Trailer lights cutting out landy rear side lights.

    If the lighting wireing got fog light cut out that deactivates the car fog light when trailer plugged in could be wired wrong. acting on rear lights instead of the fog
