Ok....about 6 months ago I had a service done on the beast, I was happy didn't think anything was a miss until two weeks ago. I was changing the oil and the oil filter (as you do), but when I pulled the oil filter off and compared it with the new one I bought from repco I noticed that the old filter was half the size.
No probs. "the boys down at repco probably gave me the wrong one". I have a closer look at the old one and its a f@#king filter for a festiva.
The problem I'm having is that ever since I put the proper filter on (fuel consumption is a little better - thats a good thing) the trip computer function that measure fuel consumption is way off. When the analog gauge shows half a tank the trip comp. says I've only used approx. 22-24 litres (71 litre fuel tank). I know the gauge works and its the trip comp. because I compred the trip comp. to how much fuel she can take at the servo, and I almost ran out of fuel the other day but the trip comp. said I've only used 45 litres.
SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!
