New owner - help required already!

[Mudstud]

I sold my TVR several years back and finally replaced it with an elise (ex demo). Completely different driving experiences. Anyway went out for a spin this afternoon and speedo/rev counter and LCD display panel all stopped working. Anyone any ideas? Hopefully just a fuse or something. Hopefully I won't have to visit this site as often as when I was a TVR owner asking for advice!

Seloc is probably the place to check, more tech guys there.

Otherwise welcome to the joys of Lotus ownership.

cheers

Try turning the ignition on and then off again with the door open and the stack reset button pressed. Something I read a whole back when someone had a similar issue.

How old is the car? Does it have the Stack dash or the later black face/white dials?

[Eat it up]

If your car has the black/white dials and the large one piece key( i,e is model year 08onwards)

Then all you have to do to rectify the inop instrument pack is disconnect the negative lead from the battery, count to 20 in your head then re-fit
The Instrument pack should now be working properly now.

If your car is another model then ignore the above advise.

Top notch advise 'Eat it up', all fine and dandy again. 2 days of elise ownership - two problems so far, fortunately both now sorted with no outlay and only a little effort.
