Why is the speedo at 28mph, the oil gauge at 2.1bar (idle) and the rpms at 0? Something weird is going on there!
Unless, the engine was warmed up and you were coasting (hence the oil pressure), and the tach doesn't work. Its what mine would look like in that situation.

As a side note, I think its really respectable how we wear our mileage as a badge of honor, instead of a shameful secret (like most other makes of cars). peace, sam

Now THAT would have stuck to all them other makes and models!
HA! My engine has 350K AND CAN STILL DO 100MPH with LOTS OF ROOM TO SPARE!!! Now, I have always wanted to see a Ferrari with 100K + but that never happens??? Do the engines break before that? I imagine that a car, such as a Testarossa that needs 10K timing belt to be changed by removing the engine can not be good!
