Oh **** - best just hope it runs like clockwork

[shnozz]

my order from TVR GEAR still hasn't come through the post so I thought I would ring and make sure it was all in hand. Get told the bloke dealing with the order has gone on holiday and it hasn't been sent, largely cos they dont have the fuel pump relay and fan belt in stock. So they haven't sent out the 100A fuses and accelerator cable either.

Guess I'll have to cross my fingers for those 2k miles around europe in this weather.

I havent got those parts either so any one that has and sees a cosmos blue Griff or Chieftan green Chim at the side of the road, please stop and help!

I wouldn't worry too much mate.

The serp belt, if on it's way out, tends to break down slowly and just slip a bit. I doubt anyone on here has had one snap altogether.

If the fuselink does play up, more often than not it can be removed, cleaned up and replaced. Best bet would be to clean it now and then stick a cable tie around the casing.

I think the fuel relay and accelerator cable would be the two least likely to give you trouble.
Very best of luck anyway.

Good excuse to go and fetch them if you ask me...

yeah cheers. I guess its saved me spending out £150 in one hit anyway. Not so worried about the le mans bit as so many brit cars I could probably scrabble together anything I needed. More worried about the 2k around south of france, pyrenees etc when it becomes more remote. Ah well, I have breakdown cover so its not the end of the world.

I've still got my old SNB802, 2 fuel pump relays and 2 new 100A fuse links if anyone wants to drop in on High Wycombe en-route. They're no good to me now.

The relays/temp sender were working when they came off the car. Got a few other small bits and bobs too.

Free to a good home.

[shnozz]

if you don't have any takers Trefor I would be grateful for any additional parts but won't be until after my hols now.

I've got a couple of spare fuse links, they are not particulary high tech, cant see why you couldnt use a few strands of regular fuse wire wound together as a temporary fix.
