I know I am still very new to TVR's, but I owned and worked on a lot of different cars before. Now my Chim is driving me crazy with a funny clicking noise from the speedo area. I cannot decide wether the noice is more mechanical or if the noise is electrical (relay?).
I am sure it is connected to the speedo as the intervals between the clicks change with the speeed of the car.
does anybody know how I can get rid of the noise?

TADTS.

Its a phantom 1/10 mile digit which clicks over audibly but without a digit to display.

(Maybe this should be a sticky in the Chimaera forum).

You get used to it, its actually quite a nice feature as you get an audible indication of speed wink

IIRC there is some information, maybe from the Wedge or V8S guys, somewhere about a mod to remove the trigger or pad it... Not come across it for years, but someone might know where it is located?
