Any ideas on oil pressure readings,mine seems to be reading very high e.g 1000rpm oil pressure reading 30 from cold start after 30 mins driving oil pressure starts dropping and reads arond 10 at 1000rpm but only reads 30 at 5000rpm.I had the original sensor changed at 1000ml service.

Rods, mine's all over the shop, but generally higher reading than yours. It's a bit like the one in my Cerbera - i.e. very dynamic and fluctuates in real time as opposed to giving you an average readout, so that doesn't really help matters.

I was told by my dealer that TVR had receieved a batch of "faulty" sensors and were waiting for a new batch to arrive.
