(1)Probably not terminal... (2)Still got the linkage? Or did it fall off altogether? (3)Is it really wood? Probably just Fablon-type of thing with polyester lacquer over it (4)You sure it's the rad? Last leak I had was from the small hose at the top O/S of the rad... looked like the rad but wasn't (5)Is this because you have a ram of too-high a gas pressure on? Should be 100 Newtons: a lot of them are 200+, which stresses the GRP when the bonnet's closed (6)Hmmm... I don't like trimming, sorry... (7)Where from? (8)See (6)... (9)What's wrong with that then? But see (6)... (10)Bloody TVR rubbish.... :bah: So, to sum up.... you're a moaning git who needs to drive his TVR more often and closely scrutinise the decor a bit less*. Wait till you see my 390 @, then you'll know the meaning of 'rough sex' Ian

Thanks for those words Ian. Just will point out,, point number 5.. The ram is the origional one as part of the pair that were fitted when it was new.
I have not had any need to replace these, inless they have been replaced inadvertantly.

As for being a moaning git ... yes, your right, but I pay a premium to keep the bloody thing running, and for that premium, I expect the damn thing not to fall apart (more has gone wrong in the last 2 months, than in the last 6 years).

Must be your turn then!!!

[gemini]

spread it out over 6 years and it doesnt seem to bad?

[skyrocketship]

Can't help with any of the techie stuff - but I got a brushed ally trim on mine as I wanted something different to the usual wood look - anyways point is It doesn't crack in the heat, in fact I don't think it will ever need to be replaced and it cost less than a re-veneering and repairing the old wood trim.

Jason: the 'moaning git' bit should've had a or a or a next to it... no offence intended! You should know me by now...
Look on the bright side, you have the wherewithal to own a car like that in the first place. Some of us have to be content with cars from the rough end of the garage... as it were.

Rapidly sinking into a morass of work as every feckin' client in the world wants a piece of me this week...

Twenty grand seems pitiful recompense, sometimes.

[jvaughan]

I know .. just thought I'dd wind you up !

No offence ever taken .... life is far too short

Sorry to hear of your probs Jason -- just to join the club of wedges that need attention:

The gearbox on mine is on it's last legs -- the suspension is a bit Oooh-err (not setup properly at all) it's overheating when taken for a blat -- and it seems to run out of puff around 140ish -- which apparantly could mean the head gaskets on it's way out ! And not being in the least a techie I'll have to pay lots for someone to sort it out...... Bugger !

So much for selling it -- unless someone wants a 'project'
