Had a few days off, put my card in this morning and the tacho says i need a break and have drove over 141 hours.
Done the printouts.
Any advice on any other precautions i should take.

That looks like a DAF?
We have some Scania’s, 70 plate, that have a known problem with the tacho head when you have made a manual entry telling you that you are exceeding the WTD 6 hour rule even though you have taken a 15 minute break. It doesn’t show up every time, just certain vehicles after a certain period of time.
Not much help but worth checking with the manufacturer of the tacho head which batch your tacho is taken from. The new Siemens one is the culprit. Raise a defect for the tacho and get it checked by the tacho place you use.
S’bout normal…
For a Padddywagon innit?
"EU and AETR legislation requires that in the event of a breakdown or faulty operation of the tachograph, it must be repaired as soon as possible. If the vehicle is unable to return to its base within a week the repair must be carried out en route.
GB legislation also provides that a driver or operator will not be liable to be convicted if they can prove to a court that the vehicle was on its way to a place where the tachograph could be repaired, or that it was not immediately practicable for it to be repaired and the driver was keeping a manual record."

If it is a defective tachograph.
Unless “impracticable” it must be repaired immediately.
“Impracticable” is not “a bit inconvenient”!
Ed to add.
Seeing other comments, check it is actually the tacho, not manual entry
I presume you’ve not entered rest correctly when you did your manual entry?
You’ll need to monitor today’s driving time because the tacho won’t give you any warnings.
What do the printouts say?

does a daf display other work as driving time as far as the dash display goes
As said, dodgy tacho, or a ■■■■ up on a manual entry maybe. (One of the reasons I never do em.)
Inform your firm by text (then you have proof) write out a defect and get them to book you into a tacho centre, keep manual records and printouts until they get you there, in other words be seen to have done all you can at your end (aka arse coveting) …and crack on.
That may or may not be the official procedure. or regulation, , I don’t know, or care…but it is what I would do.
On the other hand don’t listen to the brainwashed ones on your firm or they’ll have you buying a dodgy passport and on the run avoiding the death penalty.

If you actually did 141 hours continuous other work, how much drive time would you legally have available to you?

Arse coveting, Robroy? That’s a bit of a worry.
Either your messed up a manual entry (unlikely) it’s just the daf having a moment.
What does the printout say? Can you post a picture of it?
Does the tacho head match what the dash says??

I didn’t think so, but I’m glad you confirmed it.
Probably autocorrect.
I haven’t done any manual entries, never do.
Not really sure how to read a printout but heres this mornings.
Edit:is this a better pic?

Quick glance that is showing 7hrs 10 min drive.
Suggest you take pic down and cover up your name and reg number before postig again.
Looks like your tacho is OK, but the dash display is wrong.
Look at the tacho itself, and see what is displayed there.
That’s on the tacho

151 hours… .you part time or something
I go back on my prev post that tacho seems ok, and only display is wrong.
Is the printout saying
31/01/2022
Drive 00hr00 to 07hr10
Duty 07hr10 to 07hr03
?
151hrs two week drive for the vehicle is easy if double shifted.
Is the display for you, the driver, not the vehicle?
I’d say something is definitely awry with the tacho. It is showing that you’ve driven for 150+ hours in the last two weeks. That line dated 25 Jan on the printout also shows an abnormal time. Times are always shown with two digits for the minutes and all of them show just a single digit. It needs looking at and should be booked in at a tacho centre pronto - no new journey should be started until it’s been fixed.
