Just got a new 07 Breva 1100 and it has 300 miles on her so far. Today morning the LCD part of the dash stopped working. The guages work fine. Funny thing is - the LCD works when the rpm is low - but when the rpm is around 3000 it goes blank but gomes back when i fire the engine again. Any one seen this before ? What am I looking at. I will have the dealer look at it, but any pointers from any one?

I don't know if this happens on the Breva but on my Stelvio the spark plug boot developed a tear in the insulation (from my previous ham-fistedness) and this would then arc against the valve cover. When this happened the dash would either blank out or read a lot of gibberish.
Might be worthwhile to check your plug wires.

Thanks for the input guys. That was helpful.
Got a new dash installed by local MG dealer under warranty and the service was excellent. Had the part shipped in 48 hrs.
Quick question - which gear oil should i use in the gear box and CARC - and how much of it will I need? I picked up a 75W-140 full synthetic Super - Tech gear oil form Wal-Mart. Will that work?

OK, I got another issue. One of my keys is not being recognised by the CAN BUS computer. When I try to use it - it first promts me to enter code. When I do - it shows service and haz sign on the dash and does not let me start the engine. Can any one walk me through the process of making the computer recognize the key?

Download the manuals from this site in the downloads section. The manuals should have the key recognition instructions. It is possible the key has a faulty chip, but try programming it first. If it won't it is another warranty claim. Service codes are listed in the CARC section. Gearbox and Carc use 80W90 or 85W90. Fully synthetic (and I'd use a name brand not Wal Mart low end oil as the components are very expensive) is recommended. Either weight is fine for both applications. The oil (viscosity) you purchased is the correct oil for a small block rear drive.
There are many different opinions on oil – like whisky and wine.
I put the same fully synthetic 75w90 in both Gearbox and CARC on my Breva1100 about 2000miles ago and 1 litre was enough to fill both. It’s been running fine.
There are many threads on oil which are worth reading.

Perfect... thanks a bunch; 28315 works.
I made the computer recognize both the key and now when I insert them - it does not ask me for code or throws any error or service light. But turning the key the motor wont fire. All I here is a click from the starter.
Perhaps I have drained the battery by playing with the keys, although the dash still says 12.4 V. I have hooked up the trickle charge and will try to again after a while.

I did the 600 miles service on my bike today.
The valve clearance was .25 for both inlet and exhaust for both left and right cylinders. I set it back to .15 and .10 and the engine is much quieter. I wonder if this is common to MG. Coming from Jap bikes I am not used to such a large deviation in a short time.
I replaced old UFI (7 sided) filter with new one and no leaks so far. Use Redline 10W 60 and Castrol 75W 90. The engine oil looked like almost new, no metal shavings. The gear box and CARC oil had fine metal particles as I had expected. It took me 3 hours . I feel good knowing it was done right.

I had my 600 mile service done at dealer so don't know what adjustment if any was necessary at that stage but I did the next check at 4000 miles and none of the valve clearances needed doing. Such an easy job too having the lumps sticking out the side with no fairing in the way.
