Hello folks

I have a strange problem.
The position lights do not work. All fuses are ok.
Rear brake lights do work but not the normal rear lights.
Also the front position lights aren't working.
What could that possibly be?

Thanks in advance!

Jimmy, my gut feeling is that the most likely 'culprit/bad actor' will be the dash switch and/or the ribbon cable.
Might be worth checking with a multi-meter - - power in to the switch/ribbon and power out?

Got everything disassembled and passed it on to a electrician who is more capable on the matter than me.

Can anybody help me which kind of switch the light switch is?
There are no marks or printing on the switch.
Is there a replacement part?

Jimmy, right now in the UK the "biggest" stock holder of TVR parts is Motaclan - https://motaclan.com/index.php/product-category/tv...

They seem to be trying to source previously hard to find parts for the T cars and the Chim'/Griff....and some of the older TVRs.
Might be worth a 'phone call to Motaclan and don't forget RaceTech Direct.
