Had my first tail twitching moment this morning getting onto the A5, I know the roads are not perfect yet but so much different from my Chimaera.
Also after filling with petrol car wouldn't even turn over everything was on heard the pumps prime but nothing on the starter button. After the usual tvr comments got a push out of the garage and played about with the button and she started, been ok ever since, anyone on here had problems with starter buttons.

Thanks anyway Gordon.
I think it's to do with the Starter button. But like you said will wait for experts to come along.

Hi Mike
I thought it was the immobilizer as well but was trying for at least 30 mins, unlocking and locking the car in the mean time but nothing until i took out the starter button and had a wiggle about then it started first time.
I have been starting all morning after my run out and had no problems at all. I think the button is out of an Aston Martin will get it checked on the next service at TVR power.

The slippery bit on the A5 was when i joined it at the Stony Roundabout.

Cheers Mike,
Will have a close look at it and speak to Ron to see if he had any problems with it.

Catch up soon sounds good.
