Hi all,

Just a quick question to see if this has happened to anyone before. Was out for a run this afternoon and was accelerating hard when the pod just winked out and the analogue gauges have frozen where they were.

Thought it may be a blown fuse (checked them) but the indicators (green arrows) work but do not make any noise. The high beam light still works but everything else has gone.

Can't get it to the garage till next week and from my understanding they'll send the unit back and this normally takes about 3 weeks.

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Similar problem as mine, Pod out and refit was 4 days, that was about a year ago things may have changed.

Cheers Big Al - what was the prob and probably more important, was it expensive?

Thanks again.

Analogue speedo reading packed up, when I noticed it, it was reading 180mph in a 30 zone!

No idea of price it was sorted under Fernhursts warranty cover.

Had mine repaired under warranty 2 weeks ago, but out - sent to factory - returned - and re-fitted within 10 days....

The readings on mine kept freaking out - I foud it was like an old TV, I gave mine a wack on the top and it started working again - a little crude and unscientific but it worked for me, probable a loose connection.
