I wonder if any one can help me.... my door has dropped and is loose on it's lower hinge/pivot.. is this fairly straight forward to rectify.. is there a captured nut/bolt in the fibreglass that i need to undo with great care..? Any help would be mightily appreciated.

Also.. the gear lever gaiter.. what is it off.. and where can I get a new one..

Thanks in advance chaps..

Paul.

Gear lever gaiters are made for the TVR but they are on ebay.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TVR-S1-S2-S3-OR-S4-GEAR-HAND...

It says they do other colours.

I don't know enough about the door hinge mechanism to help.
