There may be trouble ahead but while there's moonlight.....

Noticed a slight hesitation on acceleration a few weeks ago between 2/3k rpm - blamed it on bad batch of fuel as it seemed to go away. Yesterday (not sure if its anything to do with the high temps we had) but it become noticeably worse after driving for 30 mins (giving it some beans above this and it seems fine?).

Had 12k service 4000mls ago (HT leads replaced).... any ideas?

Thanks
Steve

Had a phone call from Dream Machines this morning, Just needed a good tune up, but they've also found an oil leak ....and the engine has to come out

I suppose I'll survive for another week without her, unfortunately all the Corsa courtesy cars are all out so they have given me a rather nice Audi A4 TDI.....

Do yo uhave it back yet?
I'm looking at trading out of my C2 to pay off a loan to help a house move, and tehn looking for a T350 around 20K.
How do you rate yours? Have you had many other issues? DO you know how much you will have to pay for the engine out and other bits and pices to fix the leak (and coil)? You hear soooo many scare stories etc about TVR's and Speed Six cars. They sure look beautiful though.....

All my work has been carried out under TVR warrantee (rebuild @16k) and I currently have a third party wear & Tear warrantee that will cover the engine out etc, currently on 30k and still loving it.

If you take the plunge definitely take out a warrantee (wear & Tear) with the dealer appox £1300.

If you get fed up of waiting, speak to Dave at Automedon . I'm due to pick my T350 up from him tomorrow - he has had new radiators fabricated using my old one as a template.

Its a nonsense that peolpe are messed around like this. Any radiator fabricator should be able to supply a radiator (with a pattern) in a week.

I got an Ali one from TVR car parts, they had it made. Took 2 weeks and looks the business.

Just get the thing back and run round with out a fuel gauge!
When i first got the Tam it read full all the time, i still ran round and stuck fuel in every now and again
Its a Two minute job to bolt the fuel sender cover back on.

[dicky]

if that was the case I'm sure the boys would of done it, thay are saying it's these clips that hold it in that they need. If I could drive without a fuel gauge which I have done for the past few months before, I would do.

[hab1966]

Just to add to this thread, I picked my T350 up from Automedon this morning, with a new radiator.
