The Stag gear knob and lever is the one I fitted. Just had to shorten the lever. Works well.

I've been speaking to a new member who lives in York and has just purchased a TR4A. It needs sills and lower boot edge repair. Could anybody recommend where he could get this done?
Thanks

Had mine stuck behind the rearview mirror with the cable run round the windscreen and plugged into the OBD socket.

Hi Folks
since last week I have been rubbing down a selection of painting flaws - I didn't know there were so many.
Having got a very good finish with 1500 grit the 2000 showed up a couple of flaws.
OK back to the 1500, more rubbing. This was repeated a few times until I had rubbed into the under coat -Doh!
Start again. Touch up the paint very carefully.
Rub down with 1200,then 1500, then 2000. All going well
Rub down with the G3 - this brings up other flaws that were not seen previously. Rub down with 1500, 2000 & G3.
Rub down with the G10 and soem more oddities show themselves
Back to the 1500, 2000, G3, G10.
Polish with Autoglym and 99% looks very good - but. There were a couple of patches of what I would call micro porosity
Both patches have required to be sprayed over. Lots of time spent trying to remove the micropores.
I have now run out of paint and after many years cleaning my little spray gun I have gone and lost a tiny spring to fitsinside on the needle.
Instead of fishing on Monday I'll be sorting out a few issues
Roger
If you spray on a light guide coat from a rattle can before flatting this shows the imperfections and helps avoiding removing to much of the top coat.

That setup sounds a little odd Alan. Why do you have both HDMI and optical connections to the sound bar? Usually it is either/or - they can't both work at once.
The trouble is there is such a variety of connection methods it very much depends on what equipment you have. Some have HDMI, some HDMI-ARC; some have multiple input and output sockets some only one.
One recommended way is [ HUMAX hdmi -> Soundbar hdmi in, Soundbar hdmi i out -> TV hdmi in]. That way the soundbar gets the best sound feed without any processing by the TV.
Another way if the soundbar doesn't have hdmi-out is [ Humax hdmi -> TV hdmi-in , TV optical -> Soundbar ]
Yet another way is [ Humax hdmi -> TV hdmi-in , TV hdmi-arc-> Soundbar hdmi-arc]
Connection is as your last two recommendations. The soundbar only has one hdmi -arc and one optical connection. Both are connected to see if there was any difference. I can switch between them in the TV audio settings. Having them connected individually makes no difference to the problem. I'm starting to think it is a compatibility problem between the Humax box and the TV as it all worked fine with the previous TV.

I also have a Samsung TV and a Humax free sat box. I used to turn on the TV then the free sat box in that order but one night the TV came on while I was asleep! I know the Siamese cats are clever but two remotes in the right sequence would be a challenge. It turns out if you turn on the Humax and wait it turns on the tele automatically and no need for small children. Good luck with the soundbar, beer bars more my thing!

THanks for the reply Richard. My Humax has never turned on the TV automatically.

Sounds like an HDMI handshake problem, the TV and Humax have to synch with each other. It's possible the new TV tries to do that too quickly for the Humax to handle if the TV is on first. I doubt you can do anything about it.
Does it do it when you switch the TV to standby instead of fully off? If the TV has a second HDMI input you could try using that instead.
Thanks for the reply Rob,
If I turn the TV off with the remote the audio does not work when the TV is turned back on. THe soundbar is connected with an HDMI cable and a an optical cable and the TV setttings set to optical udio connection. I have tried different HDMI sockets.

I've just bouht a new Samsung TV. When I connected to my Humax Freeview box and Majority soundbar with a optical cable the audio did not work. Tried everything and eventually found that by switching on the Humax then the TV and then the soundbox the audio works. Has to be switched on in this order to work. My old Samsung TV worked normally.
It's a bit annoying as as quite often you just want to switch off the TV but then the audio doesn't work when you switch the TV on again.
Any experts out there with any ideas?
Thanks
Alan.

If there is enough interest I could consider making a batch. Maybe get some printed circuit made.

Hi Bob,
Please put me down for a 4A one.

To add a type J o/d my 4A gearbox I had to use a hybrid mainshaft because the J type has a metric spigot. I think adding a J type to a later TR250 just a standard new J type mainshaft will be required. And the adaptor between the g/b and o/d.
Alan.

I removed and refitted the J type o/d on my irs 4a without removing the g/b. Saved a lot of work.

So have I and still use it but with a replacement rachet. Got it with Embassy cigarette coupons.

.003" is quite a big clearance. I used a 5/16 - 11/32 expanding reamer, removing a very small amount of material each time until the spindle was a tight fit then used a fine emery paper to finish.

I fitted the oversize spindles from Moss. Worked well.

Just paid £1.29 for heating oil. Massive increase but can't see it coming down any time soon.

Looks good. Worth having access hole for the upper starter motor though.

Can anybody reccomend some driveshaft boots that last?

O/D makes the TR a much much better all round car. I fitted a J type O/D to my original 4A gearbox using a hybrid mainshaft for Pete Cox. Works well.

I used to live in Willerby and rode on them regularly. Also remember riding on a type of bus with upper deck aisle running down the side not the center of the deck. Always thought it was a bit weird.

With the roads dry last night I took the TR out to test the LED headlights for the first time. The difference to the sealed beams is mega. I'm very pleased with them but will pop into the local garage to get them adjusted correctly as they are very bright.
