My troubles continue lads. while crawling around the underside this morning i duscovered an oil leak from the head easy fixed though but just another bloody annoyance.
But on a brighter note i took the car down to my local garage. turns out that owner used to know a Noel Flannery who had v8 sports and classic specialising in tvr, and he lives round the corner from me. unfortunately he didnt have contact dts or address. does anyone here know of him and pm me his contact dts? I tried emailing the garage but i think it has closed. cheers marcus

Hi mate...Mine still does that, Do you have any load spreaders on the rocker cover bolts?..They look like long washers...I think when i had my covers chromed i didnt check to see if they were straight when i bought them..A little patience is what i lack...Cheers...Ziga

Thanks for that geoff. I'll text him now.

mrzig, i'm with you on the patience. but each time i take it out i know its worth it. i'm in this for the long haul. But it will be ready for next years bbwf! By hook or by crook! Got your email, i'll get a new aad from him.

Hi geoff, tried to call that number but it is dead. have sent an email. fingers crossed!
Anyone else got a number?

Marcus. Noel was based in East Lothian and looked after my old 390SE but he closed down a few years ago after going an F1 team. So I'm told. But he no longer tinkers with TIVs. I don't think he is even in the area.
