    Can anyone help?

    Fitted an on-board computer stalk into our Min. All wired up and working fine.

    However, Ewan thought it would show the actual speed (MPH) the car was doing at any given time. It does not.

    Does anyone know if this can be done and how?:question:

    I think the OBC on pre 2004 build cars shows

    Range - how many miles left in the tank
    Average MPH - can be reset
    Average MPG - can be reset
    Temp

    On Post 04 build cars you should have all the above plus

    Instantianious Speed & MPG

    Mines is a Feb 04 build and has all the same functions as BDM's - to reset the avg speed and mpg you press and hold the wee button. :)
