Workshop Manual, Wiring Diagram and Parts List?

[PatHeald]

Is a comprehensive workshop manual, parts list and wiring diagram available for the Griff?

Is the Steve Heath book on Griffiths and Chimaeras useful?

I've just bought a Griff and I need to give it a thorough service and sort a couple of electical issues out.

I'd be grateful if someone could point me in the right direction in terms of what is available, what is worth buying and from where it might be obtained.....

Cheers

Pat

Yes - it's the best book available and as near to all the above as you'll get

Steve Heath book is essential (must be second edition).

Don't change the engine oil until you're sure you know what you're doing - oil pump doesn't self prime, you need to do things in certain order so that the pump does not drain during the operation,OR, if it does drain you need to pack the pump with vaseline to get the thing primed - there's plenty of info on this forum about this.

Only a couple of electrical faults? Blimey, that's an unusual TVR.

Make sure of the gearbox oil spec before topping up/re-filling - My '94 500 (SD1 box) underbonnet plate says use ATF220, but I have learned that this is not a good lube to use on the SD1 box (it's OK for the T5 box though).
