Sky sport, maybe you should go back to watching the telly!
I didn't get my type rating on the 135 (T & P) by watching the tele, thats for sure. I got it by taking the aircrafts systems apart and rebuilding them many many times.

With regard to
"A fault relating to one of the display systems was recorded and
further work is being undertaken to establish the meaning and possible causes of the fault."
My guess is that this relates to one of the trivial failure codes that spring up on every flight - which as a pilot you don't know about unless you shutdown the CPDS and reboot in Maintenance mode and scroll to failures. These usually indicate a sensor input failure to the CAD or VEMD which only last for a nano second and are insignificant due to the duration and back-up law. I'm sure it will have no bearing on the outcome.
