A Dreamliner pilot of my acquaintance remarked that if he wanted something that leaked fuel and caught fire, made of plastic, he would have bought another TVR.

Sounds bang on!

HA! Yes, there was a serious amount of overheating and general dicking around from the Trevor’s last time.. however the worst offender lost all lighting during the drive back.. that was excellent.. luckily I had quite a lot of wire and connectors and managed to Jerry rig a live to the lights.. but the switch was toast.. they might have a v8 in them but they really are a bit crap..

Enjoy! I’m sad to be missing out this year.. Although I have heard rumours they’re going to do it again next year instead of the usual two year wait, in which case I’ll take the F! There’s a group of us go usually with a selection of 2002’s, TVR’s and a scimitar.. so plenty of room for tools

Cheers Tom, I may just have to ask about door alignment, my driver door is way out - almost looks like it is open from behind!

I'll have a dig around the forum and see if I feel brave enough to have a go at it...

I had a similar issue, you need a ratchet and a torx bit to fit the striker plate (which the latch locks onto, attached to the door frame), if you loosen it you can tap it until it moves in a bit then tighten it and try shutting the door, small movements are best, make sure that you wind the two rubber ‘stops’ in on the edge of the door first, as these might have been wound out to compensate! You can wind them out to suit once the door fits better! Also, before I start I draw round the striker with a marker, it gives you a reference as you can move it in any direction so it’s good to see just how much and where you’re going
Lastly, if you move the door a lot, you may need to adjust your windows when you’ve finished, there’s a decent guide to it on here, however, make a note of how your window sits in the seal before you start.. and it WILL be frustrating.. but it’s amazing once it works, which it will!

Just checking this sold?

Hey, I’m not sure that would work as the beam pattern is downward facing in both iterations, if you turned them up upside down they’d be pointing in the sky! Also, the fittings wouldn’t work etc.. I think beam benders (the crappy stickers) or some LHD lights are your only option long term

Hi Tom,

Welcome from a fellow new member of the forum!

I'll no doubt have the same bunch of questions as you when I start to use mine a bit more...
Probably mostly about roof leaks, rust and misfires....

Cheers
Darren

Hi fellow new person Darren,

Well, over the weekend I’ve had to become somewhat of a master of roof leaks, window adjustment and door alignment with the help of forum articles, google and the workshop manual.. so if I can help or pass on any of what I’ve learnt, do shout!

Tom
