not starting

[tuscanlad 2]

hi
does anyone know a service around the north west that will come out to a TVR to service or get the dam thing running.
Mine hasn't been run for 4-5 months and it seems its flooding badly, smells like it anyway. Gives one attempt at firing then nothing.
Im looking for a good service visit to my home.
any help appreciated

Ring Heath at X-Works on Monday..they can get it trailered to Kirkham... 01772 684448

Sounds like it's due for a good service in any case.

Thanks for this, its a Tuscan 2 s 06 10,000 miles its had 6 services the last one 6 months ago at TVR power and Ive done 137 miles since then , I thinks its lack of use, tried to get the plugs out and my god they are far down in the head!! what size are they if you happen to know and Ill go and buy myself a proper plug spanner.

I seem to remember being told by Heath, that after a flat battery the ECU goes to a default mapping which can affect it...I had a bit of trouble to the other day after I forgot to get the battery full conditioned after leaving it a couple weeks....Ring Heath anyway...he might be able to help and may come out on a call to Liverpool.They are pretty busy at the moment...a bit of sun and everyone wants their cars servicing for summer. I think I've said it before be aware of the possiblity of a backfire fire in the airbox if it won't start.

Can't remember the plug size, but the 3/8 drive halfords prof. plug socket fits down the holes ok.

Thanks all
got a proper plug spanner , took the plugs out so oily ! cleaned them and baked them in the oven reg 200 for 20 mins put them back and off we went very smoothe. Cleaned the engine bay up while I was in thereit was well worth the effort as its running very nicely now especially the tick opver. the question is why do they get so oily
