Recently i had the pod in the Tamora sent back to TVR in Blackpool for repair(eratic mph readings)after it being refitted to the car the garage informed me that the fault in the pod had also damaged the speed sensor and that they were on back order and they dont know when they will get a delivery. They have dissconnected the sensor by separating the plug in the boot so i can still use the car,the only problem is half the time i dont know what speed im doing. So my question is does anyone have or know where i could get one, the thought of driving without one for a few months is a real pain. Cammy

buy a road angel or something similar. As well as warning of cameras it'll give u your speed. No doubt it'll come in handy. I'm sure there are a few others driving around on here who are in the same situation.

I was indeed for several weeks before I sourced a sensor from TMS. Road Angel is more accurate than a speedo - tends to read 2/3 mph lower.

Hi all,ages since I last posted. Have had similar problem with speedo reading 230mph whilst stood still!!!.Was waiting for a new sensor from Gorners but due to current circumstances it looks like I will have to source elsewhere.
Bored this afternoon so crawled under car to look at sensor to se if I could get it off to source a replacement through alternative supplier(assumption made that TVR have not developed there own specific sensor for this task).
Located sensor easily enough but could not find the electrical connection(T350,not tamora),So... a couple of questions for you all, can you access the connection through the boot floor panel under carpets around fuel filler pipe. And has`anybody managed to source this speedo sensor from alternative source??
