Hi,
My s reg (98) 1.6 16v brava recently developed a running problem which seems to have been solved by fitting a new coil pack. This was done at a garage after using a diagnostics mahcine. Since then (a few days ago), my mileage counter will only increase by 4 miles, no matter how far I go! The trip counter works correctly but not the main mileage counter. If i drive over 4 miles then the counter goes up by 4 and the trip computer goes up by say, 20. When I turn the car off, the speedo and rev counter both move 'on their own' up and then down and then the mileage counter resets itself to before the 4 miles. In other words, I turn the car on, counter says 100264, after driving 20 miles, the coutner says 100268, turn the car off and then back on and i have done 100264 again! Althought the 4 miles are added on at the right time. Any suggestions, aybody??
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance, Bob.
 
Forgot to mention that the counter is an lcd one, not mechanical!
Thanks, Bob.
