This is my 1st TVR Chimaera Pearl Blue 4Ltr '97

Already fitted some ACT coolant pipes and have been cleaning bits inside engine bay and interior for the past 2 months

It's been a daily driver for 11yrs and has had no TLC whatsoever, labour of love I was told when you get one, I even spent 6hrs on Christmas day doing stuff to it, luckily the wife understands

Hope I've uploaded picture properly, will do the engine bay picture in the future

Only problem so far is that when I got it the interior fan worked, but just noticed that it's stopped blowing, any suggestions?

1. You are aware it is push on/ push off? Took me about a week to work that one out.
2. There is a black control box, fag packet size, behind the dash. Multipin plastic terminal block connector. One wire usually burns out. Answer is to solder in a piece of cable to bypass the burnt out pin.
3. Give us more of a clue to your location and one of us coud probably help you fix it while meeting up for a chat, as you will need to take the dash top off if it's the wire. Jojackson could be right about the fuse etc. I only listed the ones I have actually had.
P.s. I have a chocolate working cocker.
