Damn broken down.

No not from cold. My SPA gauge was saying 45 degrees as I has been driving it. The mill light come on got to petrol station as I needed fuel and thought plug the rs ajp app in.
Looking at it said 95.5 but I can't remember if the car will still start or not
Sitting here waiting and it's raining but on a plus side found a leak I had been hunting a year ago up to now storing it in garage.

Looks like crank shaft sensor. As once the car was cold started fine. Even drove it back into my garage.
Taking the car off the road end of month any way so will sort that first then get on with replacing steering rack.
Also Ecu temp sensor as it's constantly reading 95.5 degrees according to the software.
Just one of them things breaking down. Luckily I was in a garage and just watched a film on my phone to pass the time.
I always carry a tool kit but forgot to put Allen keys in there. Other wise I would have attempted to get the sensor out and clean it up. The recovery truck was good. Low loader with additional hydraulic ramps so one little scrape from the tail pipes getting on to it.
Usual talk with the break down blokes. TVR bet that drinks fuel and unreliable

Sorry to hear that Peter. You'll have the codes and the mystery unravelled in no time I hope.
FWIW mine is undrivable for the first time since I bought it too - I've burned out the dim/dip control box. No lights this far north approaching winter is nae use.
I had this recently too. Late at night, going through a small, but well lit village, dipped my lights for oncoming car and as I left the village, I realised I had no lights at all FWIW mine is undrivable for the first time since I bought it too - I've burned out the dim/dip control box. No lights this far north approaching winter is nae use.
. Fortunately, the lights would still work, but only on full beam, so I got home okay. Box has now been refurbed - so back in business - although cause is a suspected poor earth which needs sorting.Crank sensor seems unlikely as if it fails you get no spark OR fuel. I suppose it could fail in some way where it's missing some of the flywheel teeth and catching others but that seems unlikely. You can check it with a meter, should be about 1400 Ohms from memory. Also worth cleaning the metallic crud off the tip, this reduces its sensitivity to the passing teeth.
