Hello,

the satnav dvd goes in a drive under the passenger seat from the rear.

The mpg seems very low so reset by holding the button in on the steering wheel, my town driving not city is between 37-39mpg and average in the high 40's, first thing to check/change is the airfilter and report back.

Regards Pete.

That's strange, it resetting when refueling (wifes Yaris does it), normally you just need to hold the button in for a few seconds to reset any of the functions on the steering wheel.

one more question guys, when driving on a motorway, doing 75 mph,5th or 6th gear, steady driving, my momentary mpg jumps all over the place every second, looks like this - 75 , 80, 55, 60, 70, 48,69 , why???

Because the on board computer can react very quickly to driving conditions, even with cruise control on any slight variation will show up, things like inclines, wind, road surface etc.
