LCD replacement is one of the jobs on the list, but….. Intermittent warning light just started (seems to be on cornering or braking), oil checked and OK. I cannot see what the problem is (LCD unreadable) and now my fragile paranoia thinks there is a change in engine noise.
Recover to RG about 25 miles away or drive tenderly there? TVR’s don’t you love them!!!!!!!!

Anyone know of anyone with LCD stock, I have tried the usual suspects. Thanks in advance.

I'm no expert by any means, but when I hired a Tuscan for a couple of weeks, I experienced a similar problem when either braking or cornering. I was asked to buy some brake fluid and then to fill the box behind the brake/accelerator pedals which solved the problem.

Hope that helps!

When I bought my Tam, it had been to TVR Power and had the LCD replaced. I know it's a different one on the Tusc but they may offer some advice.

Thanks to the huge kindness of macey I now have (he even dropped it over!)a new LCD to be replaced when stock arrives.
I love this site, it restores your faith in human nature.

He even had a blue one as well! The fastest ones as we all know

Well done Macey! So Danny I guess you're local to Reading? Mines one of the faster Tuscans as well, being blue. We should meet for a beer. 3 blue Tuscans would make a good pic!

Lighten up! It's a bit of fun for Le Mans. Gets loads of attention, lots of positive resposes and doesn't do anyone any harm. I suggest you cheer up you miserable sod. It comes of when back in Blighty.

Glad to see I've drawn you out from the shadows with your 1st post 'Frankie Franklin' or whatever your name is

Thanks Jurgen. I'd like to tell you it's something exotic like an Aston Martin or Rolls Royce colour called Mauritius Blue or Xenon Space Blue but it's plain old Ford Imperial Blue. Thankfully it can look very different depending on the light so it's not exactly boring

I saw one like that a couple of Sundays ago, around White Waltham/Maidenhead way - looked like a bit a dogs dinner to me.
The man driving it was tearing about, like a real wonka.
