common S problems

[farmeryellow]

What are the common problems for S owners?
mine are
1, Throttle pot
2, fuel gauge not working
3/ leaking slave cylinder

After 5 months of ownership everything else works fine (touching wood)
It would be interesting to have a top ten.

Grounding on Speed humps, the S exhaust is extremely low.
As iu found out in my second week of ownership. That Big Mac at a drive through cost me £300

Other than that, can't hear the stereo, can't keep up with Tuscans..

And er, the electrics are a bit vague.

You bunch of tarts...

From what I've heard the speed humps on the way in to these clubs are their easiest hurdle for you boys....

I think its time for a southern TVR golf afternoon... Prior to next months Hants meet??

I've played all the courses mentioned above and I've not even got a Chimera..

Back on topic:

Rear bulb holders, connector blocks behind steering cowl, connectors to front lights getting crap in them...

Most things electrical, it seems.

Bonnet popping up, having to pull over to push it down again, etc etc
