Do yourself a favour get two and stick one in the boot for next time

Its not uncommon for them to break and they take up almost zero space

[dre]

Have you got a copy of the " bible" by Steve Heath

both available here

www.tvrcc.com/

[dre]

ive read alot about them and judging by the way the forum reads im going to need the bible,thanks for the advice pies. ps is there anyting on the s that does'nt brake/snap/fall off.

Also check that the pedal hasn't been adjusted too high kinking the cable, and the cable enters the bulkhead in line with the pedal. Both common reasons for breaking cables at the pedal end. If you tend to mash the pedal into the carpet looking for that extra 1 BHP (and who doesn't? )consider fitting a throttle stop too.

Actually the "s" is probably the most reliable especially the engine

And everything is cheaper on an "S" to replace

Remember not many people come on and start a thread titled "my car runs fine"

Showoff!!

dre,
Shame about the cable and your other probs but it'll soon be fixed and with this weather you'll soon be enjoying the benefit of going topless!!!
As pies said "piccies please"
Best of luck
