I have had the car for a month now and love it.
However I'm unable to find the secret hide away for the above!!!
I have located the two recesses below the carpet on each side but they are empty except for a small first aid box.
The car is a 2006 model - I contacted the dealer and he says that it should be under the hatch lock on the rear bulkhead. He says that there is a small aluminium catch but I am unable to find it.
Help me unravel the mysteries of T350's hide and bloody seek!
I assume that the car should have these items as standard.
Cheers
Steve

My 05 plate has a "hole" under the boot floor carpet behind drivers side wheel arch which contains 2 cans of tyreweld.

There should be a latch on the rear bulkhead between the 2 rear speakers, though I'm guessing it's quite possible TVR simply forgot to cut the hole smile
As for a tool kit - not sure I've ever seen an official one but I assume some owners may have had one. In the corners of the boot floor behind each rear wheel arch you'll find a cubby hole, most often with tyre weld in one.

I would either call one of the mobile tyre repairers or get the AA to tow me home...

The later T350Cs don't seem to have the central rear cubby hole with latching cover. Mine is a 55 plate and doesn't have this. Just the two corner cubby holes in the floor. This gives me another problem, want to replace the rear T350C badge - anyone know how you access the nuts at the back of the badge when you don't have the central cubby hole?

Hi Craig - if you pull up the over mat and look to either the left or right you will see that the rear bulkhead cover is fastened to the floor with several screws. I would expect that you can remove the cover and get at the rear badge that way!

The central cubby hole is present on all the cars (I think!) it's just that on the later cars they put a removable GRP panel over the cubby hole and then carpeted over it so you can't get to it! After having a number of troubles with the rear button, I took the decision to cut the carpet, trim it to size and then trim the removable cover so I could get access to the cubby hole. It really wasn't a difficult one to do.

Use Mobil 1 or Millers Oil.trackVRoad use and recommend Millers so give them a bell and ask their advice.Richard or Ian know the car and can deal w mith any questions you have.
There is no tool kit. tVR never supplied one just some tyre sealant.
Glad you are enjoying the car. Its a cracker.
