Tamora reverse light switch

[mini me]

My reverse light is not working at present. Checked fuse and it's ok. Checked bulb and it's ok. Checked for voltage at bulb holder and nothing. I'm guessing next step is switch. Any guides out there on how to get to it? I don't want to just pile into it and mess anything up. I assume it's centre console out and then I can see it. Any experience/ advice?

Might just be out of alignment and need adjusting. Remove the tunnel and the rubber boot off the gear surround, you can see the switch when you try to engage reverse, it should engage as you select reverse.

Thanks shep will have to have a look another time as the little un has awoken now. Assume to get the centre console off I just need to remove the two screws at the front on the sides and then jiggle it off?

Remove gear knob & handbrake cover. Undo the screws either side of the tunnel. Pull hand brake on hard (helps with the angle to remove the tunnel) and wiggle off over the hand brake. I find it much easier with the roof off as the tunnel can be tilted upwards and not hit the roof.

Ya very much. Will have a go at next opportunity. For info is there any sort of workshop manual I could get. I know of the Tvr bible which I believe is more griff/ chim. Also heard about a Tuscan one which I'm assuming is as close as I may get to a tam manual but not sure. Have googles it to death but no joy so far.

You want Graham Varleys Sagaris Manual. Many bits are the same for all T-Cars. You can look at excripts from it on line http://www.varleyhyd.com/SpeedSix.asp. Cost about £50 if there are any left.

Many thanks that's great. What kind of numbers would we require for a group buy?

Thanks Graham. I had already emailed you via your site and received the manual yesterday. Many thanks indeed
