Well I think its my clutch. Get a smell thats like the smell from brakes on trains.

Noticed it once before when I did a quick get away. Now smelling in more often.

Was in a car park yesterday on and off the clutch and got the smell. Had a funny sound today and got a bit of a sniff.

The clutch doesn't slip and the bite point is half way up the pedal travel.

If it is the clutch can I go to a Clutch specialist or do I have to go to a TVR dealr/specialist??

Any ideas on how much this is going to hurt my credit card would be good info as well.

Does sound (and smell) a bit ominous.

From memory and threads on here the parts are about £300 and fitting the same so look for about £600 for a clutch.

Try a search ... I'd take it to a specialist (independent) - not Kwik-Clutch or whatever.

Any more advice would be nice.
