i recently bought an obc kit to put in the car. all is done, only the range and fuel remaining display is all over the place. its usually says theres only 3.5 litres of fuel remaining and im sure the mpg isnt right. also i cant access the function of checking the firmware by pressing 1000 and 10. the code plug in the back says 4.4 which i read somewhere is for a 325e, whereas ive got 325i touring which supposedly needs a 4.6 plug. i phoned barons of farnborough and they said they only have a part number for the whole computer. what do i do?
