OIL TEMP SENSOR WARNING

[RICCI]

Been in Italy with the car for a month. Hottest June since records started (they say that every year!) Cruising at 110 to 120 and the "oil t. sensor" warning pops up on the screen. Check the stats:

outside temp: 33
water: 94-97
oil temp: 99-103
oil press: 50 psi
revs: 4300


This has happened five times so far, mainly
anytime I start booting it. It even did it one evening when the outside temp was 28. It took a bit longer than before but eventually the warning popped up. Now I don't mind if it's a sensor fault but I can't wait to hear the dealers excuse if it's not.


I put up with most of the crap things about the car: stupid filler cap, wind noise, sticking seat belt, no sun visors, primitive heating and ventilation but when I want it to do the one thing it's supposed to (go fast) and it tells me "sorry it's too hot to go fast today" I start to think about burning the b*****d.


Comments please.

.I see you have had just about every TVR to date apart from the t350 which is you favourite and why

Don't want to go off topic but it's the T350C. Why?- Best handling, quickest, best brakes, best looking, AND it has a full cage!

I still miss the V8 sound though!
