A good jack makes a huge difference to access - with my old jack I couldn't get the jack under the car, then couldn't get me under either. I'm blaming old age rather than a waist diameter issue...
I got this one very soon after getting the Griff https://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/details... and these stands https://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/details...
I can get it up no problem - to a maximum of two feet now wink

You've got me thinking about finding a chrome plating place now - my rear badge 'needs work'. Ta smile

Let me know if you find one. I have powder coating facilities so I could powder coat in black, brushing off the powder from the raised bits. Worth an experiment I reckon. I've got plenty of black powder. Pete

Forgot to mention I found this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/270785570904?_trksid=p20... Coloured Epoxy Filling & Potting Resin on ebay - I've found a couple of chrome platers near me so might have a go over the winter - get badge stripped and polished/plated, then either powdercoat, or try with the resin. Might be worth trying with the resin before plating actually, in case it all goes 'orribly wrong smile

16mm starter cable for a 5l V8?
Nice one TVR, they saved at least a fiver with that.
I put some 35mm in instead, it might start more often (I hope)

If it's been slow to start I'd check the fuse in the 13A plug first...
