Gaz Walker Posted December 7, 2002 Share Posted December 7, 2002 Its a warning for something (obviously), check out the manual and it'll tell you... Gaz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Harwood Posted December 7, 2002 Share Posted December 7, 2002 Sounds like a fault with the stock TC system. You get these lights flashing when you remove the TC butterfly shaft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted December 7, 2002 Share Posted December 7, 2002 Originally posted by B3any Yes matt it is, Is it anything to worry about?? Has the speedo been converted to read in MPH? It's quite possibly a badly installed electronic gizmo to handle the conversion. I am in Whitchurch if I can be of service, fairly close if you wanted me to have a gander. Most vendors don't understand some of the problems a badly installed conversion can cause, so although it's under warranty, can they fix it :-)?

Hi was up that way today as well, i'd appreciate it if you could take a look, that'd be very cool, doesnt affect anything when i drive, but its annoying.

Induction Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 B3any I can fully recommend Chris Wilson to look after, service, modify, repair and advise on anything to do with Supras. In the past Chris has fitted a number of modifications to my car, serviced it, given me great advice on lots of different things and exploded a few myths as well. He also sorted out the repair of my second turbo after it disintegrated about a month ago and shot bits of itself out of the exhaust I am more than happy with all of the work Chris has done on my car and being so easy to get to is a major bonus.
