Finally I have it.
I loved driving it home yesterday the only few questions I have which have prob been asked a million times before on here are;
1 - Oil pressure seemed to drop into single digits (as low as 4 and the error light comes on) when stopped at traffic lights especially after a good blast. Normal or not? I know a quick tap of the noisy peddle stops this but should I have to do this everythime I stop?
2 - Drivers window really rattles when up any quick fixes?
3 - The guide I got with car suggested carrying spare fuses at all times. Is there somewhere I can order these and to sound stupid how many and what size/type do I need.
Cheers guys...

Congratulation on finally getting your car, as far as the points you raised goes:
1) Oil pressure - mine does the same and I will be asking for a new oil pressure sender to be fitted at next service. It's a common fault, though i want to be sure the readings are accurate too!
2) Sorry can't help with this one, my windows don't rattle but can be a little slow, I'll put some silicone on the window rails!
3) The fuses you want are probably 80A and 100A. They are a strange (to me anyway) blade type fuse, I got mine from my local TVR dealer, but if you go to any dealer or independent and ask, they should sort you out for a couple of quid.
Hope you enjoy your T350, I think your colour scheme is close, if not identical to mine, get used to being pointed at!!!

Cheers. I got pointed at a fair bit last night and also told got told to F off Rich boy after a touch of road rage on the way home lol (people carrier cut me up so i gave him the horn treatment) Im only 24 so I just laughed at him jelous came to mind.
The garage have emailed me back saying
"If it is idling a bit below 800 RPM , then that could cause the oil pressure to go low.
More likely is that your car is carrying a faulty oil transducer, from a batch which were in circulation at one stage. Improved version is now available and could be substituted after Christmas"
I found these on the internet looks like a wise idea

So i guess the first re visit to the garage will be in the new year.

If you look at the passenger side at the top of the window apperture, you will notice a piece of plastic (fitted to the underside of the roof) this pushes the door glass against it seals and under the roof. First check would be to ensure tat its in place on the drivers side also!
Glad you've finally got the car.
F off Rich boy = jealous. He's still driving a people carrier and his wife wears the trousers.
So why didn't the garage notice/fix this at service. They would have left the car idling warm for a bit at some point.
No point in collecting fuses unless you know where they go. Do a search for '100A Fuse' for one of them.

I could use one of these on the drivers side as the window rattles like a skeleton having a w@nk in a biscuit tin... but, my local dealer didn't seem to know anything about them.If you look at the passenger side at the top of the window apperture, you will notice a piece of plastic (fitted to the underside of the roof) this pushes the door glass against it seals and under the roof.

Can they be ordered online?

Brilliant! 2 - Drivers window really rattles when up any quick fixes?
May not be relevant, but my Sag had two loose bolts inside the drivers door after delivered/pdi'd, part of the window mechanism adjuster/assembly, rattling got slowly worse and window started to blow outwards when partly open at speed.
Fairly quick to fix; door card off/tighten/adjust

Oh and don't forget you will need a TVR mechanic in the boot as well,and don't forget to water and feed him from time to time.I loved driving it home yesterday the only few questions I have which have prob been asked a million times before on here are;
