I've changed allt he readings to be mpg and english units etc but can I change the temperature to be oC? its in F.

I know the fuel range can be changed with the screw at the front but what should it be at when the tank is full and when its empty (well red light on) mines now just on the red and says I've 150 miles left. also I filled it up to the brim a few days ago and it never showed me a + sign. any reason why?

Also whats this fuel buring heater thing about?

The fuel burning heater is very rare, never seen an E30 with one.

Unfortunately the 13 button OBC can't be set to read MPG/Miles and degrees C.

I've never fiddles with the range settings but have seen it on here before, try using the search facility.

Cheers,

The fuel burning heater (FBH) afaik only applied to Diesel E30's. The OBC can be set to read UK mpg but as said not Degrees Celsius - too long ago for these modern measures winkeye
