Picked up my 2006 Tuscan 2 yesterday - what a beast!
I looked at a few before buying this one but they all seem to suffer from condensation inside the headlights. Is there anything that can be done to fix this?

it is a problem with all types of tvrs, some people take out the lenses and reseal them, sometimes it works, and then sometimes it dont, best of luck with your new toy...........

Hi

I'm also having problems with water/condensation behind the headlight lens. Three of the four front light have this problem but I'm hoping the dealer who sold me the car (new Tuscan mk2) will sort it out at the next service. I don't see why this problem can't permanently resolved by using an appropriate sealant.

I kept on having this problem too, had it resealed many times and it would still happen...

how did it stop?...when I bought a car shelter!

I used to have the car on the drive first...in the morning the sun would come out and the lights would have condensation in them. This is no longer the case now it stays sheltered.

Thanks Columbo

and there I was thinking that this would be a simple job to put right....

This is not the sort of job that I would want to have a go at, so who would be best a TVR dealer or specialist body repairer?

if your near me pop in and see me I could do it in a morning, otherwise you do want somebody who knows what their doing, I have had a couple of cars in that have had dealership repairs in and even some of them just lob black PU sealer in and hope it does the job, or they think thats what it is held in with, which is even worse!

If the dealer can't fix the problem then I'll bring it over to you.

I own a toyota corolla 53 plate, and the insides of the head lamps do this, so it's not just TVR's
