My Lag has been at Autosport Designs in the US since late June, having work done so she will be ready for next Summer.

Hit problems with the CRT instruments - they still all display but the read-outs don't happen - the bar graphs don't budge, the fuel and temp diplays don't regsiter

Antoine tells me that the gauge control unit is not working an AML don't have any. How am I going to get around this - can it be fixed and by who? any chance I can get another?. Any ideas at all will help at this stage

Please keep us informed what you / they are doing.

I've seen their conversion an dit looks really good!

I've spoken to David every day since Saturday

The good news is that the screens work - it's the computer that has intermittant faults. David has told me that there is some corrosion on the boards/chips which is causing poor contacts. So, David is replacing all the chips (60 I believe) and see if that helps. Worse case is if the chips have to be all hand soldered into place (instead of push fitted). If so, that's when the big bills start to roll in

I've also had the power supply changed and better insulation between the boards

I saw going to see the car yesterday and I could get some pictures BUT the snow was heavy and it would have been foolish to have made the journey

I look forward to seeing it soon Tim!

[Tim_C]

What worries me is that, totally understanably, David cannot give any guarantees. It's the uncertainty I cannot deal with.

The Lag was my first car crush - is my Lag just a itch I had to scratch OR is it a commitment for life with an open cheque book?
