Just a heads up really, on checking the water yesterday, I've noticed the big red cable has been sitting pretty close to one of the exhaust outlets, causing the red insulation to burn off.

I can see what looks like acid at the bottom of the battery, so I'm guessing the cable has shorted against the exhaust at some stage.

I'm surprised the thing hasn't gone up in flames, and even more shocked that all the electrics are still working

TVR must have got a great discount on cable ties, they're f*cking everywhere

Beats using elastic bands I suppose.

I'm not against using ties, but this is taking the pi55.
