Hi all,
Yesterday I picked up my new (to me) Nomad 235, the one that was for sale at DK Engineering. I absolutely love the car, of course, but it didn't come with an owners manual, so I'll likely have a few questions (I've already annoyed the factory too much I suspect!). If anybody has an owners manual in PDF form by the way, it would absolutely make my day - Ariel don't have any printed ones at the moment and don't seem to know when/if they might do another run (and bizarrely, they don't have PDF versions).
Anyway - my question is regarding the digital dash display. I've discovered that this is the Race Technology Ltd DASH2, so I have managed to download the manual for that. However, it isn't the best, and it doesn't of course cover any Ariel specifics, which I'm guessing the owners manual does. I've worked out how to customise buttons, reset the trip etc, but not how to actually customise the useful information displayed.
Mine seems to have been set up with four identical screens (showing water temperature, fuel level and battery voltage in the "custom fields") and a fifth screen which swaps numeric RPM in for battery voltage. Is this the default setup, or has somebody (as I suspect) messed with it? More importantly, is there a way for me to change the contents of these screens? Looking at the documentation, it seems one has to connect it to a PC to do it, is that right? Is it something Nomad owners are allowed/encouraged to do (and if so, how? Does the display need to be removed from the car?)?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Andy
