Just been into the garage to cast an admiring eye over my pride and joy and noticed the rev counter sat at about 1000 rpm, despite the car not running.

IIRC it shows the tick over rpm ok when running, but seems to have come to rest at this point when switched off... very odd! (sticky mechanism maybe)

Anyone else had this happen?

I'm not particularly concerned, just curious.

It's a feature... as Pies pic shows. Turn your ignition on and they will probably go to zero..

Ahh, fair enough. Didn't realise it was a TADTS.

Shall not lose any sleep over it then!

You could try here Spivvy. Even if you don't want the products, the How to's on the instructions page are great.

Mine droops (oh err missus) down to about 1000 after engine switch off, you just get used to these quirks.

Looking at the pics, looks like Matt needs a trip to the petrol station soon

That's not a fuel gauge, it's just TVR's little joke (one of many).
