 From the TR2/3 Service Manual:
        To test the Dash Meter
        a. Disconnect the wire from terminal "T" and switch on the ignition.
           The Dash Meter should read full.
        b. With the wire to terminal "T" still disconnected, connect the wire
           to the car or connect to earth by a similar method. The meter should
           read empty when the ignition is switched on.

Hope that helps
