Hi, I have a 2011 s-max. the dash was all working ok until yesterday when my average mpg, distance to re-fuel, current mpg went off. The total mileage and trip are still on. They all come on for about 20 seconds when I start the engine then go back to ---- The total mileage and trip are still ok. Its almost like I have turned the ones that constantly update off. Any ideas please?
