    Odd behaviour

    Getting some strange electrical gremlins at the mo- occasionally get the lambda light coming on...

    Yesterday morning, my speedo stopped working and boost dropped to a maximum of 0.6bar @ WOT. Great.

    Three hours later, got back in the car, started up...speedo working again and full boost (1.2-1.3bar) at WOT!

    WTF? 15 year old loom playing up?

    Any ideas folks or should I just get a gun and put the T-5R out of MY misery??

    Getting just a tad fed up with emptying my bank account into this 855!

    try messing with the key if it does it again, just back the key off from its natural position. The ignition barrel is a common fault on 850 & does all sorts of weird & wonderful things lol.

    either that or its finally got Frenchitus lol
