The way it's going with Go Juice, none of us will be able to afford to actuallyu drive the thing. Still it will look nice on the drive. Seriously, the price of diesel wont go down, so how long before we are forced to buy something that does 80mpg and gets free excise? |

Update on mine, filled today with 63 litres of BP, the display information centre reads Range 32 miles which is about right with 5 litres remaining in the tank, but the guage still sits halfway between empty and a quarter. p****d off with a Digital Keyboard Warrior |

I had a faulty tank readout on my 57 SE a week or so after I bought it. Gauge went down to zero as did range despite tank being a quarter full. Few minutes later back to normal. Repeated several times then intermittantly. Sorted by dealer, I had thought a mechanical problem (stuck float) but think it was actually an electrical fault. Sounds like something similar ad210358..... Upgraded to an ex demo, 7 mth old, Rimini Red/Ebony Napoli Auto HSE on 28th Jan 2011, added roof rails, mudflaps and side strips.

I don't see it has a problem, I see the gauge count down as being accurate 63 litres put in, so five litres in the tank with a range of 36 miles, that bit is correct, I would expect the needle on the gauge to be a little lower though, now I know where the needle sits when I have 5 litres left. p****d off with a Digital Keyboard Warrior |
