Ignoring the fact that a new TVR is (theoretically) supposed to be coming out in the next few year(s) and the
fact that I and others spend our own time and money resolving issues with the Sagaris, I thought it would
be interesting to see what are people's pet hates or things - if they had the opportunity - they would
like to change on their Sagaris?

I know for example, what I dislike about my Sag (or want to add), but I was also interested in seeing what
other fellow owners thought as well.

It could be something minor or something major, just interested in other owner's opinions of what they would
change about the Sag if they could.

If you think the Sagaris you own is perfect and does not need anything, then great, but I suspect that is more
the minority than the majority - although happy to be proved wrong. biggrin

So, if you have any thoughts on the subject, then feel free to comment. tongue out

T350 owner here, but I think we have the same issues across the T-car range. My issues are generally all 'comfort' related since my car has had the suspension sorted and has various other minor mods which make life better such as the anti-heaksoak gearstick, bump steer adjustment, non-return valves on the washer fluid etc.

Things I'd like to fix one day:

- Rubbish headlights
- Rubbish interior light
- Crap radio reception
- Girly sounding horn

Poor lights = HID/LEDs, solved it for me.

The misting up issue is not something I've looked at addressing yet. Its on the list, but rather far down atm...

Also, I'll have to see if it will remain an issue as it might not for me after Feb...

I find it easy... but my wife laughs that I have zip ties, duct tape and thick gardeners gloves in my car at all times.

How do zip ties and duct tape help with checking the oil level, the gloves I can understand.

I have been to that club and it was very enjoyable, still got marks from the zip ties and my hair is growing back after the removal of the duct tape shame I lost one of my gloves as they did fit nice and snug

biggest pain in the rear is the lights misting up, an absolute rubbish design, stuff just slung together with silicon, there is nothing worse than having the car all spruced up for a show of some sort and sat there with misted up front and rear lights.
agree on the crap headlights, but fitting hids this winter to solve that one.
radio reception, pretty non existent, but not so important for me.

1. battery accessibility - absolutly annoying!
2. base plate engine area
3. more space for my head on the right side at the roll cage

Are they 100% legal?

Not sure, if I could do that here in Germany without "TÜV problems"...

Mr. Zeppo,

if you buy some of the Hella 90mm LED Modules (Art No. for example 1BL010820-001) you won't have any problems with legality, because they don't need leveling or washer systems. They are available as only dipped light or BI-LED Modules.


And, i full agree Mr. Clive: The misting of the lights is the most annoying thing on the Sag.

If you want the best you have to pay a premium :-)

As an alternative there a 90mm LED Modules from another german company 'Nolden', which are a little bit cheaper. Don't know the price at the moment.

I can promise you, the prices will go down in the next years. 90mm Modules are standard for Buses, Trains and Big Campervans and with the demand the price will be reduced....
