Bruce,

just to clarify, when you push the information button (pimple on the end of the indicator stalk) nothing changes on the display?

I had the same problem and removed the cowl around the steering column and found a loose connection from the indicator stalk. I just unplugged it , cleaned and the plugged it back in again, and away it went.

Hopefully a quick unplug, clean and reconnect will do the trick, otherwise it may be a replacement stalk

Good luck, Gary

Hi Bruce, what year/model is your P38? i.e. is it a HSE or "S"..4.0 or 4.6etc

It appears some models were not "apparently" fitted with a trip computer...i.e. it's there but not activated :o

It may simply be that the trip computer is not "switched on" in the BECM. To test this, you will need access to a Test Book or Faultmate setup. I am not familiar enough with the Nanocom to know whether it has the capacity to read/reset the option in the BECM...

A Faultmate is usually coded to a specific VIN but a TestBook or Nanocom is not vehicle specific. LR dealers may or may not be sympathetic to allowing you a quick look. If they do it's simply a matter of checking the box beside the item in a screen menu and it's done. Probably less than 5 minutes to connect, fix and unplug!

Thanks Hoges
She's a 95 HSE 4.6 I'll run that info past Dave at RoverCentre after I try the unplug and clean the connection under the cowel first. Start with the simplest first
Thanks for that insite
