At the risk of stating the obvious, or totally mis-understanding, isn't the special anti theft nut supposed to spin round? Jerry

Quite difficult to do on a running car, however using the main chassis crossmember as a datum point I get the following: Rack mounting plate to bottom of cross member 173mm. Using straight edge clamped to cross member. Rear of rack mounting plate to front of cross member 85mm. Using plumb line. Not too accurate so +/- 3mm I would guess. Jerry

Mine is just a solenoid on/off valve with 12mm pipe connections probably off ebay. I hid it inside an old coil with the internals removed. Jerry

"I was hoping to make it operate electrically, but couldn’t find a large enough solenoid valve suitable for low vacuum" I did something similar using a washing machine water valve(12v) to control fast idle. Jerry

Checked the wires for shorts, all fine. One of the rear pair of speakers is 3.7 Ohms, the other 0 Ohms so definitely duff. I've had loads of old bangers with a duff speaker, I'm just so surprised that one channel can cut the entire amplifier. Learn something everyday. On the plus side the new head unit has bluetooth and in-built mic so the TR instantly has mobile phone connectivity. Can anyone use a Blaupunkt Atlanta radio/CD player that probably has nothing wrong with it? Jerry

The radio/cd in my 7 has had an intermittent fault where all the speakers stop working. The power to the unit is fine. It's got 4 speakers all separately wired so after checking all the connectors multiple times I came to the conclusion the radio must have an internal fault so swapped it out. But the same fault returned. After more checking, I found that one of the speakers wasn't working properly & disconnecting it appeared to make the fault go away. So, (a) is it possible for a fault in one speaker to cause all the channels to go off? (b) how do you test a speaker? Jerry

Why would a dealer keep a chassis on display unless it was a reject & the factory didn't want it back? Seems odd. Have you checked the suspension pick up points are in the right places! As far as mods or originality are concerned, I'm firmly in the mods camp. You need to make it fit your needs and resolve any of the known issues. Jerry

Jerry, that really is a very kind offer. I’m waiting for a reply from the advertiser so I may we’ll get back to you.
Now, regarding the TR5 that you messaged me about, I had a pint last Friday with my friend the owner and as is typical of him, he is dithering about whether or not he really wants to sell it. I’m certainly not going to mention it to him again because he definitely asked me to sell it for him, then seem to change his mind.
Should he ask me again I will want a definite yes or no in which case I will let you know and re advertise it.meanwhile, have a great New Year. Rodney.

Hi Jerry - You might be right there Why Indeed bore it out when all my research says you dont seem to get that many extra horses from all the work 200cc seems to be the extra capacity max which may or may not give 5 - 6 horses extra-- I could probably get that from other simple low cost work done on the engine -- Mmmm food for thought -- thanks for that Jerry ---- Andrew

Hi Jerry,
Thank you so much for your offer of help with the TR4 screen.
I'm really a bit of a muppet, put the ad in whilst in a tizz then realised I had to work away and then off on holiday. I am back and got 2 lads from the local garage to give me a hand today for "beer money", and hey presto - all in.
Now the jobs done and decided to read the TR Forum and there you were.
Thanks again for your interest in this.
Take care - Rob.

I'm glad I never had all this before my first ever track day or I'd probably never would have had a go. The relevant post for first-timers is Kevin's of 27th Feb @ 10:42. Ignore the rest and have a go. That's not to denegrate all the other advice, I too have roll protection, fire extinguisher & firewall - but you don't have to have it, that's the point of a track day. Jerry.

Order form has now been updated, so those of us with no mates can book for £60. Jerry
-
The order form defaults to +1 passenger making the cost £70. It is not possible to select zero. Believe this to be an error on the web page and have notified the office. Jerry
