British racing green with a big orange stripe and orange wheels, the ultimate stealth machine, must be as I have never had a spot!

On the same note, didnt see a single other TVR either on my way to the Growl or on my way back. Where was everyone.

Good to catch up with you yesterday, take it you got home ok Peter. Have you got to the bottom of the tick tick.

Yes, good to meet up Ian.

Just spent an hour investigating.

About to go for a test drive to infirm but I think I cracked it!

On the way home it got worse, went TING then stopped for 20 miles, weird, then started again!

Looks like with the heat, the internal balance weights which were stuck to the wheel inner rim shifted slightly and were hitting the end of the top wishbone!

There are 2 missing and I easily pulled off the remaining so fingers crossed smile

I had a couple of horrible loud clunks fom the front of my car a few months back. Crept over to my TVR guy who found nothing loose.......then spotted I had clean patches where the front stick-on wheel weights should have been.
