[Hello from new TR4 owner in Yorkshire]

Hi Pete, thanks for the welcome!

Yes, plenum rot is a common problem from what I've read, but checked the plenum and the pipes and connectors, all OK there and water just about drains as it should. Also new vent flap rubber sorted a few weeks ago. Atrocious fit though, trimmed it, fettled it etc, took ages.

Though a late TR4, the car looks like a TR4A from the side as the PO fitted 4A side trim and lights a decade or 2 ago, hence the cross-over look. 

[Where did you drive to with your TR today]

Went out for a drive this afternoon towards Clumber Park, got caught in the rain. No hood in boot, schoolboy error. Glad the interior is vinyl. Unfortunately my wife isn't waterproof and made sure I knew!

Hi Marco, could you add me to the list for one please, thanks JDC

Hi all

Hi all
New member JDC_747 here.

Joined the forum a little bit back, great resource for all things TR4. Recently bought a Wedgewood Blue 1965 TR4, and wow! what a great car. Sound chassis, all paint & panels in reasonable condition but is in need to some TLC. We have a couple of other classic cars in the family, but the TR4 is my new baby and I love it. It's never gonna be a show-winner but just has so much style and character. Plan is to use it as my (almost) daily driver.

Having read a bucket load of posts on here over a few weeks, I was scratching my head about where to start so first thing was to install an alu firewall and roll bar. Then I stripped out the dash, did some rewiring, changed to -ve earth and fitted Dynamator, and replaced the instruments with some fantastic magnolia ones from Ricky, one of the forum members. Electronic ignition, carb balancing etc next - providing the rain stops. And that reminds me, currently chasing down a leak into drivers footwell, windscreen sealing rubber is the current prime suspect.

I could go on and on - I love this car - but I'll sign off by saying thanks to all the knowledgeable chaps on here who have provided so much useful info and insights so far. There's likely to be be a load of basic and possibly daft questions coming your way so I'll say thanks in advance.
