Anyone had issues with a boot solenoid that just keeps on clicking? Guessing it can't be good for the battery either. Sounds like it's trying to lock the boot a lot.

You need to access the bolts on the boot badge and loosen them. This happens to mine if they are done up too tight. Access is through one of the two rubber surrounded pieces of carpet at the inside rear of the boot. Easy fix!!

Appears this didn't work, came back to the car on Friday night to discover that the boot light had stayed on for the weekend since it thought the boot was open ad the battery was flat....in a festival field, not the best way to start TVR ownership, but the dealer has arranged for me to take it to a specialist up here in Scotland to get it fixed.

Many people have disabled the boot light, the previous owner of my Tuscan being one of them. Maybe you want to think about that too. I guess its better to be safe than sorry.
