Door Solenoids
Discussion
I recently replaced the boot solenoid with one from Amazon. Motoclan list the same one for boot and doors, but haven't looked at the door ones - so can't confirm.
Works ok on the boot though.

Thank you, does it mont in place easily?Works ok on the boot though.

Exact same size as the original. Mounting holes in the same place. I noticed that a lot of after market solenoids are 4 wire type, but the boot one was 2 wire and this replacement is 2 wire. Makes it easier by eliminating which wires not to use.
Possibly have a look at the door ones before ordering, but 2 for £9.69 on Amazon - must be worth a punt.

I have used these:

Which have been an exact replacement and have worked well for a long time after installation.
I did have one fail to retract enough by itself to work properly in the passenger door, so I put it aside and then eventually used it in the boot, where it works great.
I had another that upon installation would not work, was drawing too much current and kept blowing a fuse.
I bought 5 in total (thinking I’d have a lifetime supply) and I now have one good one left. But all 3 have been functioning very well.

I have two of the ones that Gordon provided a link to on order.
I have access to a set of ramps to lift the car slightly and get the rear wheels off and underneath to remove the rear seats.
All set to be done on Monday, will replace the ice sensor at the same time, I am fed up of the red light sining at me all the time.

Is the ice sensor the same as the air temp sensor? If so - check the terminals where it plugs in. Mine started coming on a couple of weeks ago but it was just the terminals going a bit green. A good clean and it's been fine ever since.
Yep the very same thing Gordon, the one that controls the ice warning on the dash or did you mean the temp sensor in the air intake for the fuel system?I have a replacement Thermistor so will have a dig around in the loom behind the number plate and see what I find.
Is it hard to locate or easily visible?

Ok - I was referring to the air intake sensor. My confusion arises from the fact that I've never seen the thermistor - which is meant to be behind the horns. Since this was all apart for the respray a few years ago I'm wondering whether it's even present on my car. It's the sort of part that I would have replaced at the time.I've never seen the ice warning lamp on - but then again I don't go out in the cold

That's it with the blue ends, it was the last thing I had to replace on the black Cerb, I was able to just swap the whole plug over from the crashed green Cerb, what does your Thermistor look like?
The plug was taped in with the loom so may not be obvious, but it was the same part on the 99 & 96 also in the same place there behind the horns. Picture is of the crashed green Cerb with half the front missing so it makes it easer to see!

Ah yes, that’s the one I’d seen, I’m not sure quite how you’d fit it. If you look closely at the right side of that plug with the blue ends you can see what I guess is that small resistor looking part underneath heat shrink. You could probably just cut the old one off & solder the new one on I suppose. I would assume originally TVR had have crimped the legs into to terminals of the connector then used heat shrink to keep the water out, it’s a waterproof connector. A new connector would probably be the best way of fitting it.
