I have had my Sagaris for 2 years, and all this time I have a re-occuring fault. After driving for about an hour the temp,oil temp and oil pressure readings go haywire, fluctuating from normal to 120 degrees and the oil pressure drops by 30% and fluctuates greatly. If I stop and turn the ignition off the system goes back to normal when I restart. Then starts fluctuating again after about 20 mins. Does any one know the reason for this or do I just live with it?

THis happened to me a lot, I think the black box unit (to the right of your right foot behind a vecro'd panel) is overheating. I removed the cover from the box to help keep iot cool (bunch of screws) and the problem almost never happnes now. Reason I think that it is caused by the chip overheating is that if you blow a hair dryer onto the circuitry the problem happens immediately - you might want to give it a go yourself.
