as the topic says do these cars have this light?? i knew this thing would be bad on fuel but with over drive and runing on hold mode i managed to get 40 miles with 20 quid although no light has come on if it should have

They do have a warning light and it gets brighter as the tank gets lower.... make sure your bulb is working though!

the other thing, make sure you have standard lights, and not the Electro luminescent ones fitted, as the EL ones do not have the low level fuel warning light.

 

10miles to a fiver, would depend if you floor it every where, but if that's under normal driving conditions, that's a bit low. should be around the 15 to 18mpg around town and 27 to 28 on a long motor way cruise. (well thats what ive found in mine)

yup its got a light finally came on but the needle was below the empty and it was a low light for a while then lit up bright so must be working ok.

yeh the miles were crap but it was on idle for a long time so il see how it gets on...

now im not sure about the speed as its all in ks but if i do 50k it shud be 30mph but at 50k it feels far to fast to be doing 30mph and once it hits 130k it wont go higher without a struggle ... not amused

jap cars are limited. you will be better off getting a KPH to MPH converter.

will i be able to do that via uprev software??? what cable will i need? as my mate does all that stuff to his 350z id imagine it would be back compatible?

Your best bet would be to talk to JeffTT about getting it done, its a box that attaches to the clock. Jeffs your main man on that one. Zedworld in the trading section. Give him a ring in the morning. he will also supply a certificate for the job done.

will the car go faster if i turn off this overdrive thing?

it alters when the gearbox changes, it will rev higher before it changes up and hold in lower gears longer - To be honest it does feel like a different beast when the OD is off.

Get a sat nav and check out how fast you are going mate. :thumbup1:

its just weird how a 3 litre twin turbo car ( wich seems to be boosting fine ) is only going up to 130kmh at a push thats with power button on and over drive on... surely this car should exceed 130MPH never mind kmh. id imagine it being an import its limited to 115 MPH? but 130kmh being 80mph

yeh sat nav is happenin tomoro

what do your clocks go up to dude?

300kmh but iv struggled to get it over 130kmh

my petrol light has never worked, bulb is good, and been over all the tracks on the 'pcb', but still never, nothing!

maybe the sensor in tank ?

The car probably still has the Jap limiter on hence the 130k max, as for overdrive it gives you an extra gear, the idea as I understand it is you leave overdrive off round town to save on gearchanges and on for the extra gear when doing motorway type driving, as for hold its mainly for wet weather use, the car will pull away in 2nd gear and change up slower, I think the manual states its for "sedate" town driving, at least thats how I remember it, I may be corrected later?

if you have the over drive off and tying to see what your getting this may part of the issue i think mine starts to sound noisey without the over drive on at like 80 90 ish. you say 50km feels fast. sure its not been converted already? i have kph clocks but it reads for example. 30kmph is 30mph

im thinking maybe the car has been converted and is slightly out of sync?

 

As in when the car sits at the 120k area its actually reading 120mph but its slightly off so could be the said limited 115mph ??

hah my petrol light sensor comes on as you run out of fuel, literally it comes on and you have about 2 miles at best worth or fuel.

ok used to sat nav and the car is still running in kmh and is just a slight bit innacurate.

going to check the spark plugs over the weekend as its just not running 3 litre twin turbo style...sometimes itl throw you into chair sometimes it wont and at high revs it makes a struggle noise

Weird, i got stuck on the way home from london, and my light came on, garage was closed!!! managed to crawl home at about 50mph but i did at least 30-40miles with the light on.

I've currently got a 1996 Honda Civic 5dr 1.4 16v and I've had the needle on zero and no light came on I'm starting to think it does not have one

my mates honda civic same as yours doesnt have a light his car instead tells you the cars low on fuel when you turn it on itl stay on for 5 seconds then turn off itself... then on 2nd turn on its fine,.. weird but it says it in the manual aswell thats what its for

Seams a bit pointless.... Light comes on as car stalls due to lack of fuel (I have a feeling that feature probs comes to the car being co-developed by rover)
