After 5 years of ownership my chim has let me down and refuses to start. Fired briefly then stopped . After much churning still nothing. Think plugs fouled. Does anyone know type of plug required so that I can pop to Halfrauds and get set lunchtime to try tonight
All 8?! think your pump must've died or something electrical like the main fuse
No I have been working on car and have just pulled out of garage a couple of times and have not warmed engine up so I think car something did not reset. Plenty of fuel as can smell it and it did start once but I just feel that plugs not firing now after probably churningnover too much
Might be worth trying it again in a couple of hours before you go down the plug route.
Failing that - NGK B7ECS(good luck with Halfwits though)
Try removing the fuel pump relay and turn the engine over for 20 secs or so. This should un-foul the plugs. Replace relay and try again. Replace the plugs as soon as you can NGK B7ECS.
The above worked for me recently when I flooded mine.
Good luck

Clean the plugs and put them in the oven for a while to heat them up...?
That worked for me when i flooded mine!

Typical TVR started first turn ran rough then cleared and was as normal. Took for blast and cleared engine
Thanks for advice
