Speedo zero message on start up.
Discussion
Upon initiating the start up sequence on my Tamora, I receive the following message
“Speed zero press /\ \/ to cancel”
I’ve tried to press both buttons, and have been going through the LCD menu, all with no success. The bloody suns out tomorrow and I’m reluctant to no know how fast I’m going, AAARGH!! can anyone help?
I don’t know if its coincidence but this came up the other week after I’d changed my pedal box location and inadvertently trapped the brake light switch so the brake lights were permanently on. I’ve since rectified the brake light issue but still have a broken speedo- I’d lay odds they are both related but I dunno how.

OK, so now I've tried speedo zero settings of "0" and also at full scale; nothing happens.
if I adjust the tacho zero - then I can get the needle to move.
I must point out at this point like most T car owners I am missing the first couple of lines of the LCD display!.
I have no idea if the digital speedo works when I'm driving (as its too sunny to see it), but I can definitely confirm (officer) that the analogue needle doesn't move when the car does!
also when I adjust the tacho setting the needle "pings" whereas the speedo remains resolutely still
could any of you do me a favour and look what your dash settings are (please)
mine is now
speedo zero = 0 (obviously not the right one)
tacho zero = 185
OH? and what the hell are flaps? and what should they be set at? (is that for take off or landing?)

Barman, a pint of pina colada for my friend in the hat please!.
Shep; you were soooo right mate (thank god)
Whose bright idea was it to use the entire Velcro supplies of the western world to attach trim panels to ribbon cables and control boxes? how the hell you tall blokes would get to this beats me. without the aid of a left handed double jointed gynaecologist you've no chance.
there is just enough room to get one hand down the side of the pedal box (in any case the other hand is supporting my body weight)the Velcro was behind the trim panel and appears to secure it to the gubbins behind it(or vice versa). I had to detach the Velcro one handed whilst withdrawing the trim panel to expose the connectors and not drag the connectors out of their cave.
This must be the first time that being vertically challenged has been an advantage to TVR ownership.
many thanks y`all.
