Dash lights and door locks

[mojorider]

Only the rev counter seems to have a light behind the dial, not the spedo. Dealership tell me this is normal just checking.

Button on door opening knob locks doors but does not unlock when pressed again. Problem if you exit the car and close the doors, must use immobiliser agin to unlock the car

believe there are two bulbs in the rev counter and just one in the speedo giving a different rightness, i think if i can remember rightly.

... so when you replace the bulb in the speedo put one in that is a slightly higher wattage. Makes them all look the same. Works a treat.

[Harrigan]

...as above, and the locking button only locks, it does not unlock...

... until you twist the knob one way or the other - it unlocks as it opens IYKWIM. Otherwise, you'd be stuck in there Cerbera fashion.

Missed the initial post on this. My internal door knob does not centrally lock the doors at all. I think I tried with/without ignition - still didn't work. Has the wire fell off or is there a separate fuse somewhere?

The fuse box has loads of seperate fuses and probably some wires that fell off The chrome twisty thingy is a mechanical device for opening the doors and nothing else unless TVR have changed the design since that last time I was in one.

There is a seperate electric lock everything button though.

Dials problem is normal, to do with having enough space inside the speedo unit. there is a guy on here who has done a mod to LED's which apparently cures the problem

The central locking button locks the doors, but does not unlock, the central locking is deactivated by opening the doors from inside, if it is still locked afer you have got out, take it to be fixed, it is broken

Don't get in your car, start it leaving door open, accidentally hit the button with something or other, then close the door and lock yourself out with the engine running.

I did this at Chatsworth and didn't half look a tw@t.

Perhaps I'll leave mine broken!
