Finally sorted out a griff...and now my hols are over starting to get used to it.
Interesting & amusing after reading the threads to experience the electrics for muself - one day CD not working, next day wipers, then horn (most recover by the next day).
Anyway...now need to get myself sorted out with a mechanic (outside the usual dealer servicing) who loves TVRs, can help me when I'm stuck and doesnt charge the earth for the work.
Can u help?? I live in West London....

What have you got, then? I hear good reports about Austec, in your area?
Depends how far you wish to travel, but I can strongly recommend David Batty (01483 811995), down the A3 near Guildford. A genuine TVR enthusiast, and provides great service - all at a reasonable price.
I live in Greenwich, and even though it is a bit of a trip to get there, I know that my Griff will receive plenty of TLC from David.

Seconded, give Mark a call.
Welcome to the fold,
Most names have been covered allready.
As for your Fault sounds like a loose Earth Connection.
Do you have "THE BIBLE" got loads of info in there on just about everything you need to know including the earthing points.
Book is here www.tvrbooks.co.uk/

Thanks chaps, just ordered the bible and noted the tips...
bought the formula red 1996 P reg 500 from James Agger last month...
appears to be running well, a little lumpy from time to time when cold and recently an issue with starting - not always starting at first turn of the key, got a feeling its something to do with the immobiliser. Ignition on, pump activates then nothing happens, I begin again & car starts - perhaps I am doing something wrong (or maybe tomorrow it will be fine)- any ideas?

Is it turning over on the starter motor?
If not, then yes, perhaps it is an immobiliser problem. Could also be a problem with the solenoid on the starter, though - apparently Griffiths kill these on a regular basis because of the high under-bonnet temperatures. Rebuilt starter motor would be the solution.
If the starter motor is turning over, then I don't think it will be the immobiliser (unless it has been wired wrong) - the circuit that activated the starter motor solenoid should be immobilised as well (so if the starter motor turns, the immobilised has been de-activated).

no, nothing at all. Although second or third time, it starts fine.
