The Steve Heath Bible (on sale from the TVRCC) is a good guide to the car, but not a workshop manual by any stretch of the imagination.

Some parts of the car are TVR specific and for those use the owner sites from the useful links above - most jobs have been attempted and if anyone does any new ones I'm prepared to host a picture story on www.gbsportscar.com

For the engine you need a manual that includes the V6 cologne engine (i.e. Sierra V6, Granada V6 and if an S1 the Capri V6 - Haynes are good)

For the brakes and some running gear (Sierra - any)

For the gearbox(type 9), differential, CV joints etc - Capri, Sierra and Granada

If you have a V8S then the same applies except for the engine and someone else will tell you what you need for that

Ebay is your friend for the Haynes books
