Hello all,

Well I picked up my S2 last night and I love it. Really missed the TVR thing since selling my wedge so I had to get another one!. I'll post some pics soon.

Quick question though, I can't get the driver's door lock to lock from the inside or out. The key does turn but it's very stiff. The passenger one is fine. Any ideas?

I pick up my new V8S on tuesday, and I know the current owner had to have the door panels off to lubricate the lock mechanism as it too was sticking. Was just a case of oiling the seized up bits.

Enjoy your new car !

Welcome to the world of S's - you wont regret it driving

Barkychoc - just remember to turn your lights off when you've parked the car for the night

Went to the Classic Car show at Ripon yesterday ( bloody good show and autojumble and only £3 in with free parking) I was looking at the Ford line ups for that very reason and it appears that Mk2 Capri Handles are the same, Mk3 Capri are the same but matt black, and I am pretty sure the MK3 Cortina handles were the same as the mk2 Capri.So there should be plenty of those around,I have quite fancy the matt black ones.

Yes after seeing first hand what a pain it is leaving your lights on, I'll try to avoid it !
Pushing a V8S up Dave's mums drive was no fun at all !
