My old 4.0 only did it once in more than 4 years - but it chose to do it just when the eventual purchaser finished his test drive!

Mine does it all the time. I understood the speedo and rev counter are driven by a stepper motor and basically freeze when you turn the ignition off. Maybe different types work differently though?

My S3 is the same (same gauges I think). Just turn the ignition back on for a second without starting the engine, and both speedo and rev counter will return to zero.

Interesting comment about the brakes, in view of the current penchant for upgrading them. I have the original magazine. If anyone would like a scan emailed, contact me privately on [e-mail]
