New here and to TVR's. Purchased a 1983 Tasmin with right about 30K miles on the clock. So far have flushed the brakes, replaced the boot/bonnet struts, Fixed a poorly rigged up handbrake, and got the passenger door opening from the inside (very fiddly). Front end is noisy, and hoping it is just wheel bearings. Tires were completely flat spotted, and need replacement. Pleased to have found this resource,

welcome. I am guilty of not posting often enough, but TVR's are well supported & you will not be doing anything that some one has not done before.
So help should be at hand if needed.

Thank you for the warm welcome. I am excited to learn more about the car, and get my hands dirty.

You have become owner of the best electrical circuit in the whole wide world

Take a look at the pop-up headlights wiring diagram when you have a few spare hours, it's amazing, well I think so and hope you also fall in love with it

Sounds very un-British car like. Most of my Brit cars have 2 fuses for the entire car, and relays be damned.

The diodes were the surprise now you've ruined it.
