Hope you all having a fab xmas  :xmasgrin: quick question, as stated in title, got in my car other morning and after i pressed the start up button, car seemed to crank over ok BUT noticed all the millage or what ever it is in dash went blank (-------) like that ? is this a sign of anything ie battery on way out ?? Thanks in advance  :xmaswink:

It certainly indicates a flat battery.  It might just need a good charge.  The last few nights have been very cold and a cold battery that isn't fully charged will always play badly!!

thanks Richard. It had a fairly good run and ticked over on drive for 20 mins yesterday and seemed ok this morning when cranked over, so looks like you was bang on.
