Further to my other ongoing saga in relation to my trip computer calculating Mileage and MPG etc incorrect, i have come across another problem. At the last service, the service computer wasnt reset. After several dealers and quotes of £60 + VAT i found a local specialist alfa dealer who would do it for £11+VAT. Great, i thought, except when he hooked the computer up, he said there is an error with my trip computer and it cant be reset, he said some of the sub menus were not there so he couldnt reset it back to 12000 miles. Anyone else had this problem? I am wondering if it is in relation to the previous problem i mentioned?

OK, so much for my faith in alfa romeo.
Car got picked up from my dealer at 9.30 am to be inspected. Brought it back at 3.30 PM after been inspected and they told me there was no error. How i shouted!
Car had 164 miles on computer when left. They reset the odometer but not the trip computer, odemeter read 12.9 miles when they got back from "testing" and trip computer read 172 miles.
So trip read distance as 8 miles give or take and odometer as 12.9 miles. Now in my opinion, that isnt correct?
Anyways, got a real shi**y service manager at jordans (hull) who i hung up on in the end and called alfa direct again as i have a case open. They told me to re-contact dealership, arrange to take the car out with one of the alfa engineers in it, reset both the trips and take it from there. Apart from the inconvienience, i am well pi**ed off as they had my car all day and couldnt read what was in front of them!

So, back to dealer again, and see what happens.
