I am 69 had my TR6 seven years now. It was the only car I wanted in 1974 when I was 18 and learning to drive, way out of my income though. Like most great things they come in the end.

Mine is pretty much the same.

Hi Rob i got it wrong the indicators are not on that fuse as I left the blown fuse out, I then tried the indicators and the offside are working but not the near side, could it be the relay. The fuse that keeps blowing which is the horn int lights and radio must be a short, if I put a new fuse in it sparks on one side

Nothing changed Rob so I think there must be a short circuit somewhere.

Rather then start a new thread I thought it would be possible to ask it here. I have a 35a fuse that keeps blowing as soon as I move off and I think now it’s when use the near side indicator. The fuse is for the Horn, Radio, interior light boot light and Indicator’s. Test all with the ignition on they all function other then near side indicator front and rear. This as just appeared apart from swapping the coil nothing as be done electrically

Looks a nice job

I think Mr Leno is an avid watcher of Top Gear and he remembered the piece JM did on the TR6 (last hairy chested British Sports car and all that)

Thanks guys food for thought. The system was flushed to get rid of the water coolant and due to a new radiator that should be ok. I will run with it till April then change it when I service. Due to my mileage circa 800 miles till April can’t see it doing any harm

Hi Roger My mate has been running the waterless coolant in a couple of his classics and said it’s been doing a real good job, so thought I would give it a go, being a new rad as it does prevent corrosion and help with cooler running

Finally got round to sorting the fan issue out yesterday. My mate said bring it up to the garage and we will get it sorted. So off I went only two miles got just on to the forecourt and the fan decides to fling itself into the rad,It made a mess, with coolant everywhere. I did manage to get a new rad and second hand 13 blade Red fan. I did change the locating dowels in the bottom pulley, my mate then bolted it all back in with loctight on the threads. Filled back up with waterless coolant job done. Bloody expensive turn of events. Never mind my baby is running sweet again

Many thanks guys

I only heard it yesterday have not driven it so it’s not been that loose for any length of time

Hi guys Started the car up yesterday morning and could hear a metallic kind of something loose sound, after checking around the fan it sounded like it was that area. If I pull the fan it will pull out about one inch, also the bottom pulley wobbles a tad if that to is loose. It’s above my limits any advice would be appreciated.

Decided to put the coil on the wheel arch as it gets so hot fixed on the block, it’s noticeable how much cooler it is after a run.

I remove the inline fuse to the fuel pump
