Get a biro and push in the small hole at the bottom on the right, then the time will have to be re-entered. Press the 1000 to alter the 1st number in the display and so on. Then press the small hole again to set it. If the mpg etc is in a weird unit, press the hole when displaying it to change the units to m/g. :thumb:

Assuming you have the 13 button OBC - press the 'Consum' button and then with a ballpoint pen push the little button on the bottom right (next to the '1' button) to go through the different units.
