Nicola,

I need to buy the back part of the hood for my TVR does anyone know where i can get one from.

Any good car trimmers should be able to make a new folding section of the S series roof.
I assume you have the original on the car? If so, do a yell.com search for csr trimmers in your area and take the car for them to see. I would imagine you would be talking £200-300 for some one to remove and re-fit a new one.

If you don't have the original, then check the breakers to get a used one...it might be OK as it is.

Nicola, you would be well advised to go along to your monthly TVRCC meeting and chat to people there. I have my tyres as Roy has suggested above, I'm not sure which guiderecomends 66psi though. That would ruin normal tyres and be dangerous (space savers are different).

There are many products that will clean wheels, be careful as most liquids are acid based so follow the instructions carefully. The polish type product may suffice (depends on condition), Autosol, Meguiar's etc.

The accelerator should not be loose.

The above suuegstion re-hoods is good, prices vary a lot and you get what you pay for. I replaced my rear window panel about 2 years ago and that was £200 on it's own (i.e. no fabric) but it is better (thicker and softer so less likely to damage when folded) than the original.

Oh, and welcomesmile

There is a guide to fitting a new hood on www.tvrsseries.com
