The heater ECU has just fallen onto the legs of the passenger I was showing off my 4 week old toy to.
Once again TVR choose to fasten it with glued on fury carpet and velcro.
Why in gods name they can't do something a little more permenant I don't know but any good ideas or tips for fastening it back?

OK, I've stick the fluffy pad back on with some f*&k off epoxy resin glue.

That should sort the thing out, but why can't the factory? Rather poor on a £45k car.

So ok, I've stuck the fluffy pad back onto the car and it's OK.

But the ECU gets hot so now the Velcro has come un-stuck off the case.

This is really crap.

So having paid £45,000 for my new car I then have to stick bits of it back on with glue and tie-wraps.

Just how crap is that? I'm really quite jeffed off about it, especialy when it's so simple and they get so many more complex bits so right.

OK, I'll shut up about it now.

I just found myself on a particularly high horse today.

It is crap though!

Just one more thing, I'm very much a sort it out kind of guy, having built 2 kitcars and love nothing more than tinkering in the garage.

Just not on my brand new car!
