Best of luck getting the Slave Cyl done, but getting them to put a Light Weight Flywheel in at the same time is either box or motor out.
Oh well live in hope eh !

On a lighter note I have just been jet washing the mud off my 4x4 truck
following my litte excursion along the Spread on Monday.
Buckets of the stuff on the drive afterwards.
Time for the kids to earn their pocket money.......

OK mate I did not realise that.
From what I have seen with TVR you need a shoehorn or double jointed arms to work on them, not a lot of spare room around the motor.

Do the later models still suffer from water ingress into the wiring / PCM ?
A mate had an early one, not the Wedge shape.
Used to get water behind the Firewall which got into the electrics.
Had V8 motor with the exhaust manifolds kinda the wrong way round.
Went like snot off a stick though but he did not use it in the wet.

Thats ok, they never make anything easy, but at the box is off i think i might as well do the clutch and fly etc. Not any water probs in wiring, they do have some crap soldered connections though, and little water features running down window inside in heavy weather! But yes it goes pretty well, look forward to doing santa pod when its sorted with us lot smile

Andy, be VERY careful when you take them off, they've left st all over the windows on my car so I'm guessing they won't be that paint friendly!

My car is running great tongue out (just a few vibrations and a few gears that don't like disengaging).
