may get shot down in flames for saying this, but unless its a chunk cheaper than new i would order and wait one to your own spec.

its not got the recess on the tailgate to lift the hatch, its trim is different from the main production ones etc with piping on the inside of the tailgate etc. Like one or 2 others it also came fitted with air con but no air con pipes from the factory!!

it was the first car off the line and a load of changes have been made since.

That might explain why my air-con doesn't seem to work on my t350c!! Have put it on my (now getting longer)list to get sorted at the first service - almost there at that magic 1000 miles!

As mine was one of the first off the line you've got me wondering about the changes? I know that there is now a recess in the tailgate (not that this has been a problem to me), and a bit behind the seats to help prevent stuff flying past your ears from behind when you brake, but am unaware of anything else?

Here's another work in progress:
1. A general recall to reposition/sort out seat belt mechanism jamming/fouling when seat is pushed back and reclined thereby trapping belt.

We were loaned a T350c from Castle tvr for the weekend
,and fell in love with it straight away, though i am a staunch V8 man ,i've got to say it was it AWSOME. But it had a couple of rather annoying little niggles ,which were as follows :: no sun visors, which when heading west at sundown was a nightmare.the seat belts which refuse to unroll if the car was on more than a 1 degree slope. can anyone out there tell me if these items have been sorted out yet (plus it needs a TVR badge on the arse!!)

I was a bit surprised to find my car had no sun visors! The seat belt jamming is apparantly due to the angle at which the seatbelt mechanism is mounted and cannot apparantly be changed. The problem has improved.

The problem with seatbelts getting caught up as mentioned in 999's post i must admit have not noticed, proberbly because i don't have particularly long legs so have the seat forward enough to avoid this, although will add it to my list (got to think of the next guy at p/x time!)

Most of my niggles with the car (besides the aircon not working and a broken ignition barrel in the first week)seem to be interior trim and the way that it fits, as well as the various interior rattles and squeeks!

I was under the impression that this was an early Tamora problem which had been fixed some time ago?

Correct only Tamoras and only early ones. A recall of a certain range of chassis nos is to occur shortly. The intermediate fix realeased in Aug/Sept last year does not fully correct the issue.

Wouldn't have thought so, as the issue with the Tamora was that the belt stuck under the roof material with the hood folded. Didn't think the T350C has a hood? Rich...

When I test drove a T350 I noticed that: The seat back traps the belt against the suspension 'turret' & the corner of the seat headrest fouls the rollcage when the seat's back & you try to recline it.
