Hi,

Just wanted to say hello as a new owner.

Few questions, what is the recommended oil to use on the Tuscan S?
Is there is good place to get spare parts eg need a new mirror

regards
andy

Welcome aboard Andy!

I'll take an educated guess that you own/have owned a 350Z? I used to have one, great cars but not in the same league as the Tuscan in terms of performance and looks (lets not discuss build quality wink ), enjoy!

I've just had to replace my wing mirror thanks to a pheasant and I would suggest contacting a few breakers - Bell Hill, Auto Wash Repairs etc as a TVR dealer quoted me £1000 for a new mirror painted and a scuff on the door from the mirror repaired. Froggie very kindly sent me a mirror FOC (they're off a Scirocco) and a mate sprayed it for £180. New glass off ebay for £5. Simple to put together and fit

Ah twin turbo, nice! I considered it but didn't take the plunge. Left mine standard other than a JWT pop charger which was really just to make it sound better!

You need to remove the glass backing plate which should just some clip off, remember the heated element is plugged in so don't just pull the back plate straight out you need to disconect the 2 heater element pins once you've got it loose
