172 cup trip computer resets over night ???

[dommy23]

Help !!!
Every time i start my car up after leaving it overnight the trip computer has reset itself so i have no idea how many miles ive done since the last fill up. Though,if i use the car several times in one day the trip miles add up from each journey,but once ive parked it up for the night sure as hell it will have reset again come morning.
Has anyone else experienced anything like this or have i got a gremlin in the car that presses the reset button while i sleep !!!

Any suggestions would be gratefully received ?????

lol, that is pretty spooky.
Is it really that consistent? every night?

Mine did this mate..after searching on here it was suggested that car battery was on the way out.

Have put in a new battery and it no longer does it!
