Hotwire engine

Can you please explain to me, in simple terms, exactly what this is and what difference would it make

[tvrgit]

Do you mean as in "bypass security devices to obtain vehicle without use of keys"?

I'm not telling you that! (Not that I would know of course, I have never done that, not even to get home in an emergency, oh no...)

Ah damn I had'nt thought of that termonology as used in car nicking No as used by TVR on some of the later wedges I think.

It refers to the airflow meter using a platinum heated wire to measure airflow through the meter rather than a moving flap as on earlier cars
