Hi Robert,

 

There is a small reserve which is about the level in your previous car when the amber light comes on.

 

I wold advise adding fuel as soon as that light comes on, especially with an older car just to ensure that there is no offensive stuff getting through.

 

I think the trip computer is saying "Get some petrol in here".

 

Regards,

Thanks Peter ,no the trip comp is broken as non of the functions are working except the trip mileage

Hi Robert.

Are you sure you have an OBC fitted? I only have the trip mileage above the cars total mileage on the display. The button on the end of the repeater stalk only resets the trip mileage and that's all.

Hi Robert and Chris,

 

I never thought about an OBC being fitted.  My X type 2.5 SE had one, as has my S Type.

 

It being an optional extra never crossed my mind at all.

Further to that, Robert and Chris, it does appear that on the earlier models the OBC was an optional extra, and only became standard on the face lifted models about 2008.
