Ok I've traced the poor running fault to a loose AFM screw. I wound it in at least 10 turns!

Has anyone else experienced this? I was thinking of taping over the screw thread to make it a tighter fit or possibly dropping a bit of superglue down there to hold it in place.

Can't wait to the weekend now!

I think I've used thread lock before, plus a rubber bung on top should stop it moving

Well thank you very much my good man. Very rewarding that I didn't have to take it to a garage to resolve it!

Would you like fries with that or would you like to supersize your fredlock ?

I cannot be ar*ed with Halfrauds anymore......local motor factors are best and a little bit more interested in helping you.

Crap, it's broke again

Well idles lumpy when cold, but once you start driving it's fine until it gets up to temperature then splutters and dies if the revs drop below 2000.

Might try resetting the ECU........................

Don't really know anyone close to me.

Will probably have to take it down to my local TVR dealer again.

Getting a bit annoyed with it as I know it's probably something simple but there are so many little things that could cause this.

I've spent the best part of a grand on it now and just want to enjoy it!
