You mean they have one?

I would work for the department in charge of washing and ironing the black reveal cloths - bound to be a very busy and interesting job.....oh wait...

If the new TVR want to keep their electrical engineering department the same as it was in the past they just need a woman called Dorris and an old school pin board for the looms.

They should then wire the immobiliser back to front, fit a woefully inadequate gauge starter cable, cut corners on earth straps, and neglect to fit a dedicated starter solenoid relay.

This would keep the cars original.

I would love to work in the electrical dept, spent the last 13 years designing Fire Engines and could do with a change.

Carol and Tina built my control boxes. I've not had many issues on my now 20 year old car, certainly far less than my modern japanese vehicles

For complete originality you should also follow what TVR did with the Tuscan and fit an open Anderson connector in the N/S wheel arch where it fills with water and muck and creates a high amp short.

You can then enjoy the originality of your TVR burning to the ground. I love TVRs but it always makes me chuckle when people defend their wiring like it's completely without fault, delusional doesn't cover it.

What's wrong with TVR wiring?




Ah, it needs a few more scotchlocs!

But, as usual, incorrect. The anderson connector is pointing downwards under the car, to the rear of the NSF wheel arch and the connector has a cap so isn't open unless it is missing. The same arrangement is fitted to all T series cars and the Sagaris.

So they rotted from the top A few were 'lost' to fires started by this. Took mine out and fitted jumper posts. Although others have filled the top with 'electrical jelly' to seal them up.

Yep, standard service item. Check cap is still there, clean and re-pack with grease. I believe other cars than TVR also have some standard items that you service once in a while to make sure they don't go wrong.

I will be in charge of the hammer.

I see ChimpOnCrack is on form today.
