For the 1st time in 13 years of TVR ownership I've been stranded in a car park, popped in to get the shopping and it wouldn't start up again, sounds like the fuel pump, no sound of it coming to life, I tried the obvious by resetting solenoid in the boot but to no avail.
The car fires up, but dies immediately as if starved of fuel, will try again in the morning just incase it was due to overheating or something, it's only half a mile from me.
Anything else I should be looking at?

Kind regards,

James.

Sounds like you need to re-set the immob. YHM for detail

Thanks Andy,
Mail hasn't arrived yet it's slower over water, I did try to reset using the dash mounted fob, however that's as far as i got.
If there's another means of resetting here's hoping that's all it is.

Regards,

James.

Won't work from the dash, need to drop the juice off. The dash thingi is just another way of disarming after the immob self arms. Ping me an email with your number on if the mail does not arrive and I will call you.
