Is it anything to worry about??

Its a warning for something (obviously), check out the manual and it'll tell you...

Sounds like a fault with the stock TC system. You get these lights flashing when you remove the TC butterfly shaft.

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.

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 :eek:
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.
