I know that you need to insert a pen tip into the little hole on the bottom right whilst pressing SET-RES and then pushing other buttons to set the data. I have the info in my handbook somewhere but can't get to it at the moment. Hopefully someone will be able to help soon.

I also googled this a while ago and found the instructions on another forum but cannot find it now!

Hi,
disconnecting power will reset the obc. Either disconnect the battery or find the correct fuse and pull.
When reset it should ask for the time to be input using the 0 00 etc keys - otherwise press the little indented button to the side..

PM me your email address and I'll forward a copy of the OBC manual..

You need to set thefuel consumption to M/G (MPG is US gallons) to get am and pm on the clock IIRC. only then the temp is in deg F
