| <Team TD>  | Milage flashing with a vengeance! Had this start on my car a while back, went in had the usual proxy allignment and software updates.. . Didnt solve it Went back and they plugged it in while it was flashing, as it stops if you turn the car off and restart it. Came up with an error in the starting circuit saying the battery voltage was dropping below optimum on start up. It stayed at the garage while i was away and they plugged it back in again and it come up with no fault, but the dealer did say theyre lead on the diagnostic machine was fooked  They reset it and it didnt flash for 3 days and yesterday morning it started doing it again, only ever when you start it up from stone cold.. . Anyone else had the same thing? Where its been harder to resolve? Any of the Tech guys shed anymore light? T? Cheers Bob

 | Re: Milage flashing with a vengeance! Mine was flashing on my way home from work got onto the drive turned it off opened the gates started the car again and it didn't flash.. Is a partly discharged battery the main cause then T? I greased the battery terminals when i first got the car I suppose checking the electrolite levels wouldnt go a miss i suppose...
