Hi,

Have recently brought a TVR S1 and have a few little problems with it. One of them being the Fan, thanks to help on this forum that has now been resolved and we found that the fan has an override switch.

One thing that has been brought to my attention is a misfire. We initially thought this could be because of a faulty HT lead but i am now wondering...could this be because its running on unleaded?

Does anyone know whether these were unleaded at all or would it have to be converted? If it has been converted is there any way that we can tell?

Kind Regards

Russ

I concur all can run on unleaded but the timing must be adjusted for some (retarded by 4 degrees for my 2.9)

Hi all

Thank you for the quick reply's. This is good news as I had a horrible feeling the head was going to have to be converted.

Kind Regards
