Clock Failure

[T40ORA]

Clock Failure message on dash. Any ideas beyond the fact that the clock has failed?

You have to send in the Dash ECU for repair/reprogramming, preferable to Paul Smith:

These clock failures are a design fault in the dash software of TVR, they happen most time if the CR2032 battery in the Dash ECU is flat and you disconnect the main battery.

Cheers. Daft design fault!

Maybe the programmer wasn't so bad, but Peter Wheeler stood behind him and told him every 10 minutes to get ready because they have to show the car on the next exhibition :-) So he totally forgot the routines for the fault handling ?
