Running Temp / Dash Lights

[dougie]

(i) Can anyone tell me what the running temp on a Tamora should be in town ? It seems to go up to 98 very quickly (and the fans cut in). Having said that, 98 appears only half way up the temp graph on the electronic read-out.

(ii) At night I cannot see the speedo or tacho and have to rely on the electronic data - is that a feature or something I can change ?

Mine runs upto about 98 fairly quickly in traffic I don't think this is a problem. And it sounds like you need to set the brightness and contrast in the setup mode for the lights on setting.

Yeah, mine often runs at 95-99 in town traffic, but cools down to 85 after about 400yards of airflow - the fans are nice and quiet, too (yes, they are working!!)

To set up the dash lights, scroll through the screens, enter menu, and scroll down the settings for dash illumination. Set contrast at 60, and brightness at about 95 for all light switch settings, and sit in the car at night, and adjust the dash to whatever setting pulls your chain. Bear in mind that the display needs time to warm up, before you can read the figures. Mine takes about 10 minutes. Also, I noticed mine, once or twice, didn't come on i.e. no figures, and the change up lights kept flashing intermittently. Switch off and on again, and it reboots.

Well, mine runs at a max of 94 so far, but usually at around 85 ish. The fans are working fine too. Apart from a wee oil leak somewhere, everything in the field is Rosy....

I'm thinking of doing a track day at Snetterton on the 25th, anyone fancy bolting their spare 16" wheels on and coming out to play?
