Was at Brands Hatch today for a trackday. Slippery at first but got black flagged for the brake lights not working - the switch appears to be breaking down. Anyway. Sorted it and heading out. The track had dried up a bit by then so was able (confident enough) to go fast enough to turn the tyres 'on'. Four laps in and Tamy just cuts out. So about 10ish.

Recovery arrives at 3:30pm and I got trailered home.

Spent the day trying to trace the reason. Inertia switch is 'off'. No power at the fuel pump. Tried direct 12v feed to the pump and nothing.

So, I am now down to no road worthy TVRs. Not sure I'll get to Tamy before Wendy's rear calipers come back. AArrrggghhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Twas a very quick & dirty lashup with what was available, i'd suggest repeating the exercise with slighty more robust solution to a decent fused supply just to be certain of the test results.
That electric tester turned up in the post yesterday so can do that.

Also dropped my phone yesterday too.

Anyway, that was yesterday.

Going to throw my efforts at Wendy as per my pre trackday plans.

As it looks like removal of the seat will aid sorting Tamy, I'll do that and sort out the dash, heated seat wiring and the 12v / USB sockets in one 'go' along side the current issue.
