hey all, over the last week, my 850 t5 has become compounded from problems ever since having a stepper motor boost gauge fitted. and i'm now on the verge of selling it or smashing it up (whichever comes 1st). firstly it was the lambda light issue...now i've noticed that since the clocks have been unplugged the fuel needle is out (temp, boost + speedo are ok) and digital miles-0 is floating between 75-60 miles till empty (i put £50 in at 9am this morning) anyone have an idea on how to remedy this?

did you take the battery off before you removed and refitted the dash?
