Hi,
Today just drove home my Tuscan, and i just have one word to describe it... outrageous... it needs loads of respect on the throttle..
Have a question:

Is it possible to change the values on the digital speedometer to Km/h. the setup menu only allows me to change the clock and the rpm's and not the units on the dash, does anyone know how to change it?

Regards,
Helder Teixeira

If you have a Mk1 Tuscan then it is on the bottom right of the same screen which displays the mileage of the car.
Outside temperature is displayed on the bottom left of the same screen.

Yes, it's an Mk1, can the millage be changed from miles to kilometers ? or on the screen were it show all the temp's, miles, rpm can it be in km ? is there any key/button combination that allows you to choose between mph to kmh?

I could have sworn it was available on the configuration screens beside the RPM changes etc.

Is your Tuscan a very early car?

You can choose between different screens, on one of them speed is shown in km/h, but only on small digits!

(early 2000 MK1)

I have just checked on mine and I can see no way in the settings of changing the display to show kilometres (except as previously mentioned on the total mileage screen).

That's probably what I'm thinking of. I was sure I'd seen kph showing somewhere!

yes, ok that's the one that i have too. I was thinking that i saw the other ones in Km/H. frown. I'm buying the analog in km/h.
Shame that's no option to change it... even for the trip is in miles.
I just have the car since last Friday, and i can see some oil leaking around the bottom on the air intake.. I did ask the question to the seller if this was normal and i did say It's a TVR so it's normal... Is this true?

Absolutely not true! Oil leaks at a Speed six engine are not normal!
but what would you say if you are the seller????????????

Obviously I'm not happy.. but what can i do, i bought like it is frown, the worst is that don't know anyone in Ireland that works with TVR to have a look... Probably have to ask on the TVRClub.. hope that's nothing to bad.... because i just LOVE IT.

Hi Helder, I have seen it dripping there once on my friends Sagaris. It was simply overfilled with engine oil. Can happen if the level is not checked hot and immediately after turning engine off. So check the oil level. Good luck.

Hi Max, thanks for the advice, one thing is for sure was well over the limit!!!! Let's say that 10 cm between min and max. My one was showing 10 cm above the max..... Underneath it's full of oil!! Sorry just to reply now, but I was away just got back yesterday! So taking the car to the car dealer to remove the oil in excess!! 😥😥😥
