Does anyone do their own servicing?

If so, do you know:

What spark plugs?
What oil filter TVR chose to rebrand?
What the tappet clearances are supposed to be?

If nobody knows then I guess I'll just have to source the parts once I remove them and check tappet clearances based on the "mean".

Try this site:

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/dave.hinns/servicing....

Its a Cerbera site but it has load of serving and info for the speed 6 engine. It does have the tappet measurement that you need. I think ist 5000th and 11000th but you need check the site.

The plug are NGK DCPR8E-R (4179). I got some of these on Ebay for a really good price.

oil and fuel filters are easy,when you take them off make a note of the make and part number,most auto supply places have them or can get them easily,air filter is a tvr part(as far as i know)things like discs and pads can be sourced on the net easily,as far as engine servicing go to the cerbera sp6 site that onny mentioned
