Well the passenger door doesn't open when i press the interior button, is this a common problem? and any ideas on how to fix it? as its embarrassing when i have a nice lady in the car and have to get her to fumble for the emergency door opener! (no pun intended!)

You mite have to take the inner door panel off and clean the connectors inside the door. Common fault. The panel is easy to take off...approx 8 allen screws.

Might be the proximity sensor at the bottom of the door, i adjusted mine out and it solved my door opening issues.

If it's the buttons they are available from RS. Have a look at Olly's quick list here : http://www.tvr-cerbera.net/parts.htm

for the part numbers.

It could be a dirty connection so a quick squirt with switch contact oil from Maplins sometimes works.

Proximity sensor can be tested by just putting a magnet on it. It played havoc with my locking and alarm, but once adjusted all was good.

well had the door card off, and the wires looked awfull, and one (orange/white) was practicly hanging off, also just noticed my pasenger speaker wasn't working so iv sorted that.

But on trying to fix the orange wire it broke off! so i now need a new pin, and while im at it i may as well change all of them, so where do i get them from?
