'S' Series Bible

[pdavison]

This is probably a crime to admit, but I''ve owned an ''S'' for 6 months and have yet to buy Steve Heath''s ''S'' Series bible. Can anyone tell me where I can get a copy without having to wait the 4-6 weeks delivery time quoted by Amazon. Second hand copies also considered if anyone can bear to part with one !

The TVRCC had mine in 48 hours of order, get the new second addition one, rather than a second hand copy of 1st edition,. SP

The new edition is about twice as big as the original and, I believe, still at the old price.

[Paul V]

If your anywhere near Bluewater Waterstones book shop ordered me one but I never went in to get it, they it took them months and TVRCC got me one in 2 days, but they may still have it one the shelf, take the misses shopping and as well.

[pdavison]

Thanks for the help...I've ordered one from Carol @ TVRCC - £30 + p&p and it should be with me in a couple of days !

[edward]

apparently make sure you get v2 of the book according to a pal - I'm not an S owner but was once!

[pdavison]

They only stock the V2 version...so it should give me plenty to read !

[LeeBee]

The V2 book has a lovely S2 in it Page 300ish I believe Cheers LeeBee

What's the difference in the revised bible, and when did it come out. I got mine about 18 months ago (from the TVRCC office) - does this mean i've got to go out and buy another one to get more info! Woody

And a rather nice V8S too I seem to remember ... Peter Humphries (temporarily without a green V8S)

[LeeBee]

More like insane! you must take me out in it soon! (if I am brave enough this time) Cheers LeeBee

[pdavison]

The bible has arrived ! Now looking forward to the weekend...

[Paul V]

Are you taking it apart? (car not book)

[pdavison]

No, not quite that brave yet - but I just have a number of niggling things that I want to fix...i.e one door speaker not working, electric aerial not working, adjusting tappets. Nothing too serious !

[johno]

Adjusting tappets... ! I have done the tappets on my car twice now. Each time that I've had the inlet manifold out (another story) both times I've got them slightly wrong. First time I used feeler gauges and they weren't too bad. Second time I thought I'd improve them and do them with a vernier (being very careful) really F&*^%d them up. If I were you I wouldn't bother mucking around with them and let someone at a garage do them for you. I will do just about anything to an engine at home but I won't bother with V6 2.9 tappets again. Tower View set the engine up for me after the last manifold out session (neede timing and adjustment due to the problems I'd had) incl. adjusting the tappets for £68 and they are now perfect. As for the speaker not working then it's possible the wire is broken between the door and and frame or the connections are so badly corroded on the back of the speaker. Be carefuul taking the door panels off making sure you have undone all the retaining screws and bolts as they can be fragile. As for the electris aerial I would be looking at the aerial lead from the cabin to the aerial which goes along the under the passenger door sill, over the wheel and into the boot as this of ten gets very corroded. It probably will turn out to be an earthing problem though. Notorious for crap electrics. Have fun though... Cheers Mark

[Paul V]

Out of interest, how many speakers does the s have, mine appears to have 6 but I’m not sure if they are all connected. Have fun playing.

[pdavison]

Thanks for the info guys - tappets sound like a job for the people that know ! Probably best to leave it for the time being. My S has just four speakers connected (well three at the moment), where are your other two speakers ?

[LeeBee]

The S has 2 speakers standard, unless otherwise specifed by the original customer or fitted afterwards, mine has 7 Cheers LeeBee

[johno]

My dad's bigger than your Dad !!! On a serious note I would like to know where you six (Paul V) and your seven (Lee) are located. I have seen at least six of yours Lee, so where is the seventh. Don't tell me it's a Max Power Styleee 'Bass Bin' in the boot ???!!!!

[LeeBee]

Yeah it's the one in the boot , only problem is it almost blew the bloody boot off (ah yes a gain control!) the first time I cranked it up Booya! LeeBee
