Trip Computer Reprogramming

[Fenix]

Fitted a trip computer i sourced from a Calibra V6 yesterday and got a funny feeling it may not have originated in a v6.

Either that or my calibra is the fastest most economical calibra ever. Apparently i averaged 195MPH on the way home and even better still managed an average consumption of 109.9 MPG lol

Is there any way to get a trip computer reprogrammed or do i just have to keep my eye out for a genuine V6 one?

So did i, but Ian can change other info like wheel size and engine mods.

the mans a genius

but if you only change the 4 numbers it would work fine if it's standard ,,,,is that right or wont it change anything

Cheers for the info guys. I'll PM Ian T.

Eco. Seems like a bit of a lottery to me. I waited and waited for one from a v6 and it turns out it was retro fitted and actually came from a differrent car lol
