Diagnostics!!

[Modfather]

Hello everyone. I am a new member and could do with some advice. I bought a second hand Tuscan (2001) 3 months ago from a dealer. Its a great car but I am slightly concerned by the regular appearance of Diagnostic warnings on the display. Letters B, L and K keep popping up. I rang the local dealer (who was v helpful) who told me not to worry. I want to believe him. Anyone had similar issues? Any input would be appreciated. Oh, by the way, my speedo has packed in too. Common?
Thanks

They all indicate the speedo sensor is knackered. Which you say it is.

Cheers,

Thanks Steve. Thanks again for telling me about the site. Whatever the feedback is, this car is the greatest.

Thanks Andy. As long as it didnt mean "Total engine failure" then I am pretty relaxed!
Cheers

........must get that fixed tho'. Too many speed cameras around these parts (Bradford).

Your speedo sensor is toast or your POD is bwoken. Exactly the same happened to mine. In fact mine is at the garage now being fixed during its service. I wont get it back until the 17th as they are waiting for the sensor from TVR. You might want to take yours back to the dealer and get it fixed under warranty. POD problems can be expensive. Speedo sensors are about £60 or thereabouts. Good luck and welcome.
