Le Mans Road Test - T350

[apex]

T350 ers,

Just back from Le Mans and just looking for a bit of advice re a few niggles (some may be more serious than others). Sure plenty of tales of the weekend will follow but it was TVR glue meltingly HOT !!!!!

Before you get the wrong idea on this thread the car is fab and I got a bit annoyed with my mates and a few "car experts" trying to find fault just becuase its a TVR. In a nutshell its beautiful, its fast, it handles, it stops and it sounds spine tinglingly rude. Oh and the door bins hold a mean water pistol !!!!

But I did have problems with

Rear Venturi worked loose on way down and started flapping. One of the main retaining nuts came away causing this. Took the whole unit off at the circuit and with an exposed ass/exhuast the concensus in our beer goggled group was it looked fab. Will have to go back on as assuming that the venturi does have a downforce function as opposed to pure aesthetics Unit now either in a pikeys garage or hopefully coming back in a van

Keep getting lots of oil pressure warnings. This worries me and meant I had to cruise back in sensible 90's as the warning alarm kept sounding at anything over c.3500 revs. Reading at those revs steady at 27-30 which seems very low. (Oil is up to the mark and double checked)


Rear glass trim worked loose again

Rear Screen went "creaky"

washer jet leads decided to disconnect on a regular basis

I still love it though !!!!!!
