Not the clock !!

You can't drive a TVR without the sound of the clock in the background smile

Oh hang on that's a rolls where the clock tick is louder than your average V8 TVR monster engine yikes

Matt - that is very serious..

The clock on the flapper wedges controls the ECU timing.

You will find that the car won't run for much longer without it smile

There is a fix though - there is a manual clock in the ECU but you will need to wind it up with the key..rofl

Sure its not something daft like a duff connection? The light on mine works after I hit it but that's on my list for when the dash next comes off.

When my fuel gauge stopped working I took it to bits and found that one of the copper wires hadn't been soldered down and over 15 years or so had tarnished slightly. Soldering it fixed it. It might be worth checking for something similar.
