My Tam is back at the dealers for some minor fixes. One fix is the instrument pod which has a dodgy display.

The pod has to go back to the factory for a fix. Anyone know what the current turn around time is?

Dealer says 1 week, but I find it hard to believe what they say from bitter past experience.

My tuscan pod was 'refurbed' by the factory in 1 week (all happened during its 2004 service at racing green) so fingers crossed for you......

About a week seems right, my ECU had to go back to TVR due to a heater flap prob, the dealer got it back within 2 days! (This was around March)

spare one.

Thanks for the posts guys.

If it takes longer than one week from now then I'll ask the dealer to lend me a pod until mine is fixed.

The dealer was supposed to have it ready today. They've already had my Tam for one week.

I don't have much confidence in them after they quoted 2 weeks for an interior re-trim and it took more than 2 months!!!

My pod was giving display problems, ECU was updated at first svc at the factory. They did it there and then as part of svc, so would think turn around time is mostly delivery there and back to factory.

Hope mine is that quick, but not holding my breath. Setting my expectations low so I won't be disappointed.

My beautiful Tam, she is being held hostage by the dealer AGAIN

If it's hostage at the dealer i think it's at, they'll be feeding it pies!! It'l have an even bigger arse than normal when you get it back.

Hope you get it back soon.
