All, (hope people are up)

my T350 won't start this morning or yesterday so I want to do some basic checks.

does anyone know how I get to the spark plugs - before I undo bolts unnecessarily

TIA

No worries I have found the following:-

What are the symptoms? Does it turn over? Fuel pumps priming etc.?

Was it after driving in that really heavy rain yesterday by any chance?

Why not call the AA/RAC (I can't believe anyone owns a TVR without cover).

Well parked up on Friday no problems, then Saturday morning (rained friday night and mine lives outdoors) no go, turns over pops and splutters then stops, tried a few times yesterday no joy. Tried a few more times this morning no joy then all of a sudden she starts. Went for a cautious drive and there is lots of coughing and spluttering and almost stalled a few times.

Any ideas...

I rang the AA before it started and they wanted £50 to upgrade to home start all because I needed to call them out there and then, if I upgraded without the callout its £12 i told them to stick it, petty I know but I will upgrade later and then call out tomorow in need...Anyway its running now but not well..??

Any ideas?

has anyone had experience where the AA actually checked the ignition system and not just said "oh TVR do you want a recovery to the main dealer"

I was going to saw flooding, but then you mention it rans, badly etc. Check the ECU is not wet (inside). A few owners have had problems with this. Otherwise, I agree, check the fuel pump/relays/dizzy cap etc.

Good luck.

Since you're not using it, can I borrow your clutch slave cylinder?

ECU seems fine so think this must be a sensor or something along them lines I am dreading the cost this time...2 grand in one month is a bit much for my liking...

your welcome to the clutch slave.....at least someone can get some use out of it...
