Welcome aboard Drapes. The Tuscan is an adrenaline rush. A PHer on an earlier thread refered to it as akin to having 'Alton towers in the garage'... great description. They do have a few charachterful moments though and this is one that I have experienced and had fixed without any pain to the wallet (free in fact).

Although I don't know what the sensor looks like I do know that it is a straightforward job for a dealer (with access to a ramp) to clean and adjust, so this may be the easiest option - but it may be more satisfying to do yourself.

My Tuscan 2 did this new straight out of the Factory

Quick call to Danielle at the factory and she arranged for my local service agent (tvr-power) to come to my work place the next day and change it (in the car park, cold and wet). no fuss, no hassle, good service

Good PR with a lot debate on the PR from blackpool hopefully this is a sign of things to come

Apparently they have repaced it with the new spec pickup which will stop this problem...

Is there a new spec. sensor at last ???? Does it work ?
