On my cerb prior to me owning it a previous owner has had a light conversion/upgrade done, and today I notice that I've managed to lose one of the tiny little lenses. On messing about with the opposite one to see how it clipped in, that little bugger fell off! Any ideas where I can source another?, and how are they meant to be held in? Silicone sealant looks to be the only way, as they have no clips/lugs to speak of?.

You just reminded me of a post on here quite a while ago, re: the button under the dash in a Chimaera that turns off the dash lights. Someone posted that, while home and curious the previous evening he had popped out to see if he had one, which he did, so he pressed it to see if it turned off the lights. And the little bastard fell off !

TVRs - gotta love 'em.

Good luck with it.

Les (RZD) mentioned some time ago he thought the projector lights were Alfa bits.

Hi smokin, do you mean the lens for the sidelight about inch n half diameter. If so its about £9 fro TVR dealers, its a hella light. Mine popped off and was lost so I just pulled the light unit from the hole and replaced the whole unit. The light comes with wiring attached but you can remove the bit with the lens to save wiring in and simply 'glue' in with the old sealant stuff. Easy fix, crummy fittings though! smash

Thanks for the help, getting on to my dealer now.

More 'Joys of ownership' with a TVR !
