Hi, Just wondered if anyone has solved this problem, im having the same issue, a few days ago the car stalled twice within a few minutes, then the traffic mate came on now seems to come on every start even in manual mode, fuel computer and trip seems to randomly reset its self and then today the fuel gauge doesnt move wove the message low fuel even though yesterday i know it had 180 miles, its all quite strange as the car has never stalled before and not since and i havent stalled a car for quite a few years

this might sound daft but keep putting fuel in ,,on mine when i bought it the petrol light was staying on i put in £10 ,,then another £10 i thought that the gauge was faulty but on my 3rd tenner it went to quarter from nowere all i can say is they must have very big fuel tanks,,good luck mate but try my advice before you start spending money on parts
