I advised him to join the TR Register TR3AFollowing a comprehensive rebuild the TR been going really well and pleasure to use. However it has suddenly developed a very annoying and embarrassing fault in that accelerating away there is a sudden loss of power that takes a few seconds to recover began intermittently now doing it all the time. Air leak? New hoses to the new brake servo and seemingly intact pipe to the auto advance? Any ideas anyone? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
