Yea I s'pose it does make you chuckle......but really it's a pi55er.....I had it had Autovaux today (not for that though) and asked the guy about it, he said he'd never heard of it, but said he'd heard of strange thing's happening when electronic speedo's have been tampered with when you disconnect the battery leads.....but that NOT the case cause iv'e although it's 4 years old it's only done 5.5 verified mile's.....so fek know's what's happened..

ive heared this mentioned before, but always thought it was a myth, you can get people to correct it you want it doing.

OR,

Do what the did in Ferris Bueller and jack the car up and the nput it in reverse!!

Sounds like maybe something needs re setting though? If Autovaux can't sort it, take it to a main dealer and see what they think.
