Evening all....

I’m in need of some advise as I’m fairly new to the world of TVR but happy to be in it!!...I’ve got a 1996 Chimeara 400 which I’ve not owned for long and intend to work on it over the next year or so to bring it up to quite a good standard. I’ve got a problem with the engine as when I fire the car up from cold it starts first time and does what it should do if that makes sense!? ...but after it’s been running for 5-10 mins the revs start to go up and down? Once you get to about 15/20 minutes the car feels like it’s loosing power and miss fires, if I get to a junction and need to stop I have to keep the revs high otherwise it will Rev up and down and cut out...I’m lucky it starts again until it’s cooled down? Unfortunately my temp gauge doesn’t work so can’t see what the temperature is, so I don’t risk going out for longer than 20 mins!...the fans kick in after about 10 mins and then go off again and come back on again. Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this? I’ve been told you can buy a rover gauge?? Will this work on a 1996 Chim?

Any help would be massively appreciated.

Thank you 😊
