Just gone to garage to fire up the V8s-WY meet and she not having any of it. Plenty of battery power, fuel ok, pump working but she not even trying. Turned her over 6 times but not an hiccup.

Any ideas guys, seems fuel to me not getting through, is there something easy i can check before i bring in the pro's TvR.

Cheers Tom (first time in 4yrs) was she watching top gear?

Any spark at the plug ?

Or, what condition is the infamous yellow connector in ?

Take the bottom cover off the steering column to reveal it. Norman will no doubt post his picture for clarity - hopefully.

shout Norman, your thread has arrived.

I had same problem a couple of weeks ago. Turned out just to be a chafed wire in the engine bay.

She's purring again, turned out to be crap in the distributor cap + the contacts look a bit worn so i've ordered a new cap/rotar so she should be fine.

Cheers Guys
