Rev Counter.

[Dave_H]

Hi All, When parked up and the ignition off, the rev counter on my S3 just sits below 1500 rpm. But turn the key on the ignition it goes back to zero before cranking the engine and behaving normally. This to me points to an electrical fault, or do they all do this? Any one else experience this? Cheers, Dave.

Another thing re the speedos, when starting up and the charge light stays on (until hitting around 2200 rpm which kicks in the charging circuit I believe) the speedo can read anything up to 70mph, and I'm not even out of first gear. Its quite wierd when the charging system cuts in and, even though the car is accelerating, the speedo needles drops backwards to the correct speed. Cheers Andy

But hey, arnt they fun!!! Several people have said the same about the needles,all part of owning a tiv, and the battery charging thing is fine, they are meant to do that. I've just had my first full day buzzing round in mine Thanks for all the replys guys.
