Flickering RPM tell-tale

[DrColin]

Hi,

Had my 111R out for about 40 miles today. Fair bit of time on 2nd cam , after engine was hot, and no problems at all.

Got back and when putting car slowly into garage the RPM tell-tale started flickering. I took it out again about 30 mins later and the tell-tale was flickering away intermittently whilst the rpm were low (didn't lift it up).

Any ideas (and apologies if something that's been on here before....)?

Thanks

as nobody answers, I just let you know I have no idea. I never had this problem on mine. Even after track use and being on second came at least 2/3 of the time (would like to be 90% of the time but that is not easy)
Possible point are interference with alarm. e.g. if alarm activates, on first use the RPM light is blincking till remote is again activated.
Otherwise something with the ECU, but my knoweledge is too short to help

Yeah, I assume you mean the dual change light/alarm indicator LED?

I've had it flash intermittently (normal type of flash if the car alarm is armed) while driving. I think I started the engine whislt it was just about to arm...

Restarting the engine cleared it.

Yes it is the dual change light/alarm indicator LED. Had the car out again today and it happens once the engine is hot, has had a bit of exercise, and you're driving at say 30 in 3rd. Doesn't happen all the time by any means.

The flicker is not like the armed alarm flashing. Looks more like a bad connection (although yesterday the LED did fully illuminate for a couple of seconds, but only twice).

Will contact the dealer tomorrow. Main concern is whether this is indicative of a problem.....

Thanks
