*Al* · 14th January 2009, 10:11

Can anyone help me? I have a Connoisseur 75 petrol automatic (2002) and a week or so back, the trip computer stopped working completely and the bottom "window" with the mileage etc stayed on (lit), even with the key removed and the car locked. Obviously, that's drained the battery, so I need to get it fixed. Two local mechanics tell me that only a Rover dealer can fix it and have no idea of cost, but it doesn't sound cheap.

Anyone else had this problem? (It's not uncommon, apparently.) If so, how did you fix it and was it very expensive? I don't actually use the trip computer much so could live without it if it would save me a lot of money.

Many thanks for any help.
