Hi guys, I've just bought an early 02 Tamora, but it didn't come with it's handbook. I don't suppose anyone has an emailable version of it or knows a url at which it might be found?

If not, a clue how the cabin heating system works would be fab - it seems a little random just now but I'm sure that there is logic if I press buttons in the right order!
cheers
Matt

just a quick follow on regarding the handbook.
I need the service pages 6k and 12k, my t350c, hadnt a book so I bought from the bay, described as new, but has those missing.
The car has done 10k so the 12k service page would be nice to keep things in order.

Heating is a bit random!

On mine (yours may be different!) the face vents will only blow ambient air. The heat (controlled by the dial) comes out of the screen vents and the footwell vents.

Basically if you want it hot, shut the face vents.

Can't remember where the Air Con works. I think the face and foot vents, but its' been a while since it has been hot enough to have it on.

Correct, at least for cars without air-con...

How can I tell if my car is fitted with air-con? I can't see any obvious sign of it in the engine bay, but on the dash the temp dial has a blue led at the coldest setting (as well as the green and red higher up) and just to the right of the dial it has what appears to be a 'mint green' led or button?

If you push the temp dial button the blue led next to the dial will light up to turn on the AC. I don't think the led necessarily means you have ac, though!! If it doesn't get cold either it may be that you have it but it needs regassing. Got to love TVRs.

On mine if you lift the bonnet there is some tubing on the nearside wheel arch that appears to be missing from non ac models. I have always assumed this is part of it.

Mine has AC!

I wonder if out of the 300 odd made there are actually two the same?

Tis nice isn't it? I've sent spare gear lever gaitors and brake pads out before (just cluttering up my garage otherwise) and offered help on-line and in person. Also had many offers of help the other way as well - just goes to prove there are still honourable people in the world!
