Took the Tuscan out tonight and a very odd problem seems to have developed.

On the detailed display the oil pressure, water temperature and fuel figures are varying massively - 30-50psi, 70-115C, 30-45L at a steady speed and rpm with no obvious reason. The other displays of speed, rpm etc. all seem normal so doubt it is a dash pod earthing issue. Anyone heard of this before?

I'm pleased to say I just fixed my issue. smile

Don't know how long it'd been like this, but the earth connector bolt near the top of the righthand side in the passenger footwell was about 1/2" out!! Yes really. I'm surprised anything worked!
