My troubles continue lads. while crawling around the underside this morning i duscovered an oil leak from the head frown easy fixed though but just another bloody annoyance.
But on a brighter note i took the car down to my local garage. turns out that owner used to know a Noel Flannery who had v8 sports and classic specialising in tvr, and he lives round the corner from me. unfortunately he didnt have contact dts or address. does anyone here know of him and pm me his contact dts? I tried emailing the garage but i think it has closed. cheers marcus

Marcus. Noel was based in East Lothian and looked after my old 390SE but he closed down a few years ago after going an F1 team. So I'm told. But he no longer tinkers with TIVs. I don't think he is even in the area.
