New T350c owner....................Oh yes !

[Fudgenudger]

Hi Guys,

After selling my Cerb 4.5 back in April I soon got bored of not owning a TVR, so after a coulpe of months of looking I purchashed a lovely Chameleon Green T350c yesterday and by god do I love it. I thought that the Cerb put a smile on my face, now I've got a slightly bigger cheesy grin. But could someone please tell me where the hell the battery is, I mean its not as if you can miss it is it ?

Cheers

Congratulations on your new T350

The battery is behind the passenger-side front wheel. Accessed through a cover at the back of the wheel arch.

Is this for charging or changing (or checking)?

[Fudgenudger]

Its just for checking as it has recently had a battery fitted but I was supplied with a set of jump leads with 2 very large terminals of which I am assuming is for jump starting at a power point in the engine area?

Hi, welcome to the T car club

The connector is for jump starting and is located just beneath the battery. Have a look under the car just behind the passanger front wheel arch. It's worth checking this for corrosion as they can short out if bad.

Have fun!

Hi, and congratulations!!

The 4.5 cerb is something I have thought about having recently become a father.

Can you describe any noticeable driving differences?

Dose the battery bay suffer from corrosion? I am planning whipping it out to clean and waxoil?

Yea, tbh the T350 feels much more lively once you wind it up, even though there is probably not much real difference. Probably because the AJP V8 gives a smoother power delivery?
Also the steering on the T350 seems to be much more responsive and more direct, but I have only had the car for just over 24 hours so I can't give a total breakdown of all the differences, but believe me I did enjoy the Cerberus it was grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeaaaaattttttt !!!

Fudgenudger, were you the person looking at the T350C with the appropriate number plate in the Gulf petrol station in Whitchurch?

Yea, certainly was, its my garage behind the petrol station, when did you see or pass by ? If it was Monday, I'd literally just picked it up.

I went from a Cerb 4.5 to a Tam and having had the Tam 18 months there are definitely times now when the power difference is noticeable even though the bhp figures were within 25, i guess it was the wider gap in the torque figures that made the difference.

Treat yourself to that 4.3 - trust me, all your concerns about lack of torque will dissappear!!

One day

Out of interest how many services are "thrown in" with the rebuild, is it just the 1000 mile check?

It's just the 1K but obviously the next service would be a 6K so the cheaper one. All you pay for at the 1k is the oil etc and any parts. I needed a new air temp sensor and a memory chip for the adaptives, about £100 all in all.
