I've broken my duck. The T350 left me stranded at the side of the road yesterday - all the electricity had escaped.

Fortunately, thanks to the good advice I had picked up on here, I had spare 100amp fuses in the car. Just needed the RAC man and his tools to get at the damn thing. Think I might look at the mod to get the fuse holder moved somewhere more accessible.

Just a reminder guys. Don't leave home without your essential spares. It can ruin your day.

I think I might have seen you. Were you on the entrance to a roundabout in B'stoke. (within view of Wickes)

I am sorry I didn't stop. I wanted to but I was the passenger coming back from a hospital trip which means I can hardly walk let alone drive and then get out and chat for a while. I did feel for you and mouthed a prayer to the TVR gods. It's the thought that counts eh.

Glad you are all sorted now.

wavey Oneday. I hope things went well at the hospital.

Thanks for the good thoughts. Yes, that was me. It's not where I would have chosen to conk out, but it made for an interesting couple of hours. I lost count of the number of people who didn't spot the hazards lights and me standing at the road side, and waited impatiently behind a car that was going nowhere.

Hi

Sorry to hear about all your electricity escaping!!

I have had mine moved onto the inner wing. I also had the one near the battery moved onto the inner wing on the passenger side. £70 at a local auto electricians and well worth it.

Cheers

Lee

consider the 125AMP upgrade.
