TVR S1 gauges problem
Discussion
Hello everyone,
I bought a 1989 TVR S1, since last week it is inspected and registered. I really love it! It is such a fantastic car! But yesterday I was driving and the ventilator (with a switch) didn’t work so the engine was getting hot (it was just not in the red on the gauge), so I stopped and waited for it too cool down. A little later when I repeated my way home the four gauges stopped working at the same time (fuel, water temperature, oil pressure & battery voltmeter) and I received a low battery warning for a few seconds. But the radio, clock, speedometer, rev counter and lights all work great (except the turning signal?).
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks!
Jérôme

Hey everyone!
First of all I want to thank you all! Really nice to have so much advice so fast! Thanks for all the help!
Yesterday I had a little time and checked the fuses at the passengers side with a multimeter. And yes I found one that didn't work, I replaced it and immediately all of the four gauges worked again! Happy!!
There was one fuse (25) that I didn't get out and I also could not check it. Maybe it is this one for the ventilator? I ordered a box of fuses and I will try to locate and check everything this weekend.
Everything is new for me so if you have any advice for me, I'm always interested to learn!
Big thanks!

ps: a little of topic question but I don't know where else to ask... In a few weeks I go to London and it would be nice to visit a TVR dealer, collection or maybe a museum? Something about the history of TVR would be really interesting. Is there anything in London? Thanks for your advice!
