engine issues

[semtex73]

Lovely car Pete (then I would say that!!) - hopefully all the problems are sorted now and you can get to fully enjoy your XKR. I won't name names, but I have a sneaking suspicion that we may have bought from the same dealer.....

Hi Pete
Had the above done to mine by RGC, makes a good differance, if they lower the springs ask about wheel spacers, depending that wheels you have, that finnishes the job off.

Proberly be back for body kit and engine managment later.

hi Norman...I have the 20" wheels so spacers are not required. Not to sure about any engine tuning mods yet though, I'll wait and see if it starts to handle first.I'm really looking forwards to the steering mods and re-tracking, if it starts to feel more involving I'll start upping the ponies to suit..

quick question

cheers

guess what??? fecking car broke down this morning!!!!
Would start but not tick over, would cut out if dropped into any gear, shoot.. was I miffed!
The AA turned up, had a look and called the recovery truck, that then took me from darkest Sussex to Farnham Surry. Dealer then replaced "O" ring seals on inlet manifold and hey presto..it's good again. So, from 6:30am until 3:0pm I have been: waiting for the AA, sitting in a recovery truck, walking around Farnham looking for cigarettes and then driving home! Not sure if it beats working? but at least the sun is shining.

Just turn up at one of the meets - usually Elstead Mill - mostly first Friday of each month. See the R-Club thread. Sorry to hear of your tribulations today .... Cheers Laurie

Pete,

how are you doing? Long time no hear! In case you're wondering, it's Rob (the old neighbour). So what made you go for a Jag then? It's a bit more grown up than I'd expect of a TVR fan!

Still, nice choice with the 20s, and not exactly a slow car!!

Hope to speak soon.

Rob
