Just wondering, what most of you have on your dash display?, what you use most, and prefer.
Myself, after starting, I put the display onto the water and oil temp display, then a quick look at the “all inclusive” read out. When the oil is up to 60 ish, depending on the trip / my mood, either the default setting, or the Rev counter, as I like the large numbers!

I get the multi display on start up to see everything is in order - switch between tacho/ oil pressures and temps until warmed up then back to multi.....

I tend to use the multi screen and the rev counter on spirited drives

The multi screen for me most of the time, sometimes play around with it but only when i'm bored traveling to work.

Mainly multi - but find it difficult to focus on above a kilo-lepton, so often I ignore it totally once warmed up, judge rpm by sound.

temps normally, occasional flick to oil pressure.

I find the multi hard to read when I'm on the move, though I've only had the car 2 weeks!

I'm used to been able to see oil and wzter temps and pressure on my other cars so like to be able to get a quick view of these.

For me the multi would have been better just showing these.

Mainly the multi screen as I start up the engine - monitoring the temp and pressure, the rev etc, and then flick around depending on how I feel.

Sorry for hijacking this topic. I just posted this query on the TVR car club forum. I have a 2003 Tuscan Mk I. While I was adjusting the time to GMT and messing around rpm indicator settings of the pod. I saw at the bottom of the pod indicates “Mode – Slow”, and you can adjust to “Fast”. It is not listed on the handbook. Does anyone know what that is?

I think it refers to how often the info is updated on the pod. Slow averages it over a few seconds, fast is more immediate and more jumpy I suppose. I keep meaning to go and play with that on mine, but only ever remember it when at my computer and not in the car.

Ah Thanks Shaolin

That makes sense to me. However, I still puzzle what information is updating. Speed and rev are got to be instant information. I believe you are referring to oil temp and pressure and water temp etc. Mine is on slow and the digits varies pretty much every other second if not every second. So if I set it to fast, would that be much quicker then? Don't want to play around it too much it is not exactly military standard computer right. we all have heard so many pod replacement stories.
