You are indeed a star
Come on people, check that list and see if you can correct/add anything. This will be enormously useful reference material.

After some brilliant detective work, I managed to find out which production car the dash switches were originally fitted to that TVR used on the S Series ......... Vauxhall Chevette

www.vauxhallgreenparts.co.uk
Vauxhall Chevette Fan Heater Switch.
Exactly the one that TVR used !
Brand New £15.00 + £3.95 postage.

[TVRees]

I missed this one, but I'm not really sure what it refers to.
Is it the "ventilation/demist temperature direction controls" OR the "2 speed ventilation/demist fan switch" ?
I checked the mentioned web page, but I couldn't find anything relevant.

Calling Upperthong for some more info.

P.S to everyone - there's a new list (see above link), with some new added pages with some general info.

Hi there, and welcome. Mine is also an 88 2.8. What is the problem, are you missing one or is yours faulty? Finding a new one would be difficult and a matter of luck, I haven't seen one come up this year. Second hand wont be much easier unless the Capri club can help or someone on here has one spare. Rare to have a request for one of these.
If yours is faulty there are a couple of specialists who should be able to recondition it.
Come back to me with more info?

This piece, the rubber cover?

[greymrj]

Ah, that does need to be clarified, I though the issue was the alloy casting that covers the air flow meter. The rubber cover is becoming a real problem. They all crack eventually as the rubber loses its flexibility with age. We have found glues which repair them, and there are posts on this*, but I am not sure how long that will last. I have a repaired one on the car and another repaired one in the boot just in case!

It has been suggested we will need to find a way to get these re-manufactured, there is of course a demand from some Ford owners as well but they don't have as big a problem as theirs are not subjected to as much flexing as ours.

• search function on here is poor for S owners. Can anyone find the last post on this?

[Kitchski]

I've been speaking to ACT about getting this remanufactured. Keep meaning to send him my old template!

Just found this - really appreciate the effort that went into putting this together. @TVRees, would you like me to make this into a web page? I could add a little content management system so that anyone could update/add to it (albeit with amends going to you for approval first).

[TVRees]

Hi Tom,
no problem regarding the web page. If you have the time and the knowledge, then go ahead.
