Default mine to.

I just bought a 1999 C70 T5 GT today (1/8/2009) and after i drove it about 90 miles i got the brake warning light and the ABS warning light on. After they come on the speedo drops to zero and i loose the display for my miles travelled. Not only that put the power of my engine seemed to drop. It was like pulling away in 3rd. (mines an auto). After a while it seems to clear itself but need to get it sorted. I also need help. Love the car though.

Default I also lost

Please tell me if you crack it.

I also lost my mileage.

Losing power is probably in LHM Limp Home Mode.

The car is clever enough to try and limit the damage to itself through further use so puts itself into LHM forgot anything over 3000rpm. LHM Controls the autobox
