Think my passenger side is "cattled". (no longer works when i thump the door !!)
Already replaced the drivers side last year.
Going to strip and test this week......but in the event it is a non starter, does anyone have a working one for tokens ? (before i hit the flea !!)

Regards

Gavin.

Hi mate,

Is the handbrake I fixed holding up? (literally)

"When I was on the spanners" wink I fixed them by stretching the button spring, but watch it as the thread in your release button (connects the button to the pawl rod) is decidedly iffy.

The button could ping off like it did before, so watch it on the hills mate.

I recommend you carry the official TVR auxiliary handbrake system in the boot (half a house brick).

If you can wait till I get back from France I can give you hand with the window.

I got some ideas of the running issues too.

Just pay me in beer.

NB: Just thinking scratchchin ......... How nice would your car look in Crimson Satmist? rofl

Hello mate.
Been on the tear at ascot yesterday (2 winners paid for the day !!)
Gonna look later, although the hangover may prevent true judgement....so may just loaf and put it off till next week.
Loved the green in the week, and you should have stayed to hear that pantera fire up !!
A little extravagent for my tastes but the noise was immense !!
They turned the common road into bloody santa pod in the end !!
Resisted the temptation to let rip on leaving.
Followed that red RS2000 MK2 home and he was pulling wheel spins at every gear shift !!

Lot of good cars and weather was great as were sarnies (tell ANGIE baby).

£5 fine for everytime you mention being "on the spanners"

Ha, I got caught up in Croxley's own Santa Pod.

As I left I got trapped between a juicy Mustang doing a rolling burn out & a 500hp Chevy doing it's tyres n the spot.

When the smoke cleared a bit there was huge pressure from the crowd directed to me.

One of the oiks shouted "Come on lets see some British beef".

Angela took one look at me and said "Don't You Dare!!!!".

I pootled out onto the road all Driving Miss Daisy like, & promptly received a cacophony of boo's from the crowd frown

Feeling like my ego had been severely damaged I succumbed to the peer pressure and gave it some large up the road.

I got my cheers from the crowd smile but a smack in the moosh from Angela rolleyes

Good luck with the hangover, I hear a Margareta is a good cure.

You cheeky Wedgies you.

The Chimp still loves his strange shaped friends though.

You dirty flappers are definitely more fun than the golfing lot tongue out

Rover SD1 - Definately - last I got was £38 (Brand new) I think

A while ago they got a load of spare back from India that had never been used
