Hi,

Firstly, my Econometer stays all the way to the left, unless revved hard when it moves all the way to the right. When I back off the throttle it moves all the way to the left again.

Secondly, my service lights stay on after the car has started and when driving. After revving hard (like above) the lights go out not to come on again until car is switched back on.

Any ideas?
Thanks,
:?

You might want to check the si board batteries, if they leak they can cause strange effects, and damage the board.
If it ain't broke..
Fix it till it is :)

Yes, could be.
I checked them last year and they were OK, could be gonners now.
Does anyone know the part number for the smaller Lithium batteries?

Yeah, I bought those (NiMh) and it turns out I have the Lithium ones.
