[cmr2payne]

[v8ndy]

Yeah, where to get optimax fuel you will find it to become your local drinking establishment

Welcome to the madhouse

[pullingpower]

I'm a nwbie too so no expert, but at this time of year it seems reasonable to have a look at the chassis and get it waxoiled for the winter. Also might be worth treating the roof.
I recommend joining the TVRCC. Apart from the kudos and a nice glossy mag each month, you can join in the regional activities.

Don't be daft, it's easy to get lost and it's always good to make room for a meal with a bit of exercise .

Meets happen all over the place. See you soon .

Oh, and congratulations.

Try here! - also the TVRCC forum when you have joined up. Get yourself along to your regional meet and start talking Chim. Where are you based? No detail in your profile.

got the car today drove it back 150 miles to my house. It was great fun :-). its the early Chimera I have been told. Its an M reg with the three light switches.

I do have one question as I am driving I can hear a relay clicking about evry 5 mins sound slike it behind the dash, should I be hearing this ????. Car drive perfect so dont think its a problem its just distracts you from that lovery engine sounds :-)

[cmr2payne]

also is this the correct address for tvrcc www.tvr-car-club.co.uk/ as I just seem to get dns errors ?

[Martin_S]

Yep, that's the correct address for the TVR club. In fact, clicking the link on your message works just fine for me!

[cmr2payne]

cheers seems to work now anyonr got any ideas on me clicking noise

[cmr2payne]

What are


the underbonnet checks weekly. Have fun! (hard not to)

[kippax]

The clicking noise will be your odometer as you will notice it doesn't display tenths of a mile figures but the cog inside is still there so it clicks as it turns. You will notice the faster you go the closer together the clicking noise will be.

Have fun

Howard.

[cmr2payne]

cheers mate :-) that was easy.
