Come down to the club meet tomorrow evening and we can swap them over to test. I will be there for a change. Look for the dirty blue Tuscan.

If Mr. Mace's ecu doesn't do the business, then have a close look at pin 16 on the ecu.
Check for blackening/gunge on the pin....Clean up and re-try.

Pin #16 is the earth and has a tendency to overheat - causing the soldered connection to the circuit board within the 'box' to melt and break contact.

I had my pcb checked and re-soldered by these guys - http://www.electroversal.com/ . They turned around the repair in about 6 working days, cost about £50 inc. postage.

However, the heater(blower) is in a crap position. It's located in between inner and outer wings on passenger side. Access is via battery box (N/S wheel removed, battery cover removed, battery disconnected and out and then peel off the silicone in cover to wing void). With head in the wheel arch and torch you can see end of blower motor and electrical connections - a good spray with WD-40 on motor and connectors usually gets it going again.

TVR, in their wisdom, didn't provide for any water protection for the blower motor...so surface water gets picked up through the grille and the dampness travels over the wheel arch to be sucked into the blower!.
