Hmm, could you explain then the facelift V6 IPK I converted from white to orange illumination that had digital speed readout, but from what I remember didn't have the overspeed beep. I ended up not using it myself and sold it via this forum to David3807 .

My understanding for the lack of mpg etc readout on the V8's was due to them never having time to sort the software out with the communication difficulties with the various ecu's on board. I think the "not depressing owners" sprung up later via folklore - if enough people say it it becomes gospel .

Mind you I've probably made it all up

edit; not singled you out - hadn't noticed the other two similar comments until after I'd posted.
