Hi from Sydney all,
Dom at TVR Power did the 12k service on the Sagaris last year just before I shipped it to Oz. Although I've only covered about 2k miles since then, I have found myself an excellent specialist servicing outfit. There are a few things they would like to know in advance to avoid delays when it goes in - does anyone know what make/number the filters are (oil & air). Also what the drivetrain is and also make of ECU?
Dom provided me with a set of useful parts before I left (throttle cable, leads, plugs etc) and I had the clutch changed as a precaution as well.
Any other advice would be gratefully received, so far I've had no probs at all with car or engine. Climate is probably easier on the car as well, as it never gets really cold,
TIA

ECU is a TVRised MBE - TVR software is available but its read only (no on the fly mapping but you can read the adaptive maps) Needs a serial lead to connect to a three pin connector which are available from a couple of tvr parts suppliers. Not seen a diagram for this version yet. I had one for the old 9 pin ECU. If someone with a three pin would like to ID the connector and ring it out that would be helpful 
AFAIK Gearbox is a T5 with AP clutch but (other clutches are available now - Raceproved) - Slave cylinder is a weak point - after market available now to.
Not sure on filters.
Click the wiki link at the top of the forum for a small list of alternate parts.
Forgot to add do you have some 100amp fuses - these can cause all kinds of weird issues when they crack. They are worth changing at service as they only cost pennys and could save a lot of grief later

I've not been able to find out what the connector is, there are no markings on the one in the car.The connections are as follows :
9Way Pin2 ->3Way Pin2
9Way Pin3 ->3Way Pin1
9Way Pin5 ->3Way Pin3
Looking at the connector in the car with the chamfered edges at the top pin 1 is on the right.
