Ok well car went into peter smiths yesterday, Its getting no spark and no fuel turning over no problem though.
They plugged it in and apparently the crank sensor is fine, as is the engine ecu and relay. there trying bypassing the immobiliser but they dont think thats the problem.
So anyone got any ideas?
Thanks guys

Ok they finally figured it out, the fuel pump relay had gone apparently so shes runnning again, but sadly the bills topping up nicely too had the drivers headlamp resealed, new door ecu as passenger door wouldnt open, the oils sensor was leaking so new version put on and new seal on oil return pipe, then the good news one of the front shockers is leaking so need a new pair of shockers at £200 each and it needs 2 year service on top so think i may be tightening the purse strings a bit soon. but hey hopefully she will come back fully sorted and ready for the good weather, and i know the second i pick her up and start her i will forgive her

Good to hear its only a small problem.

I had my oil pressure sender replaced yesterday by the guys at Silverstone - it had been dripping oil for about a year, but worked fine and read what looked like a fair oil pressure at various revs. I finally got fed up of it dripping and the new one works fine too (shock). Interesting that the new design uses both wires - feed and earth. The original one only used the feed wire. So it looks like the loom was designed for a '2 wire' sensor in the first place but TVR didn't use one. Maybe the extra earth connection will result in less problems for people.

Regarding the shocks - Nitrons only cost just over £1k for a set - only a little more than the std items. Might be worth considering.
