This is probably one for Mark T. but anyone else's advice would be appreciated. In my 33, I have been aware for some time that the two left hand instruments in...
When people talking about making a fresh air duct from the bulkhead does this mean that there was never one from standard ?? If so, how does the heater work...
You cant remove the heater without taking the whole dash from memory,(but please feel free to have a go !) as the heater contols are mounted onto the top bar...

Has anybody got any idea about the price of a wheel off a G33 ?? I know they are obviously hard to come by what would one be worth ?? The previous owner of my...
Simon, I am model 016 but I think I'm right in saying that very few 33s have a fresh air intake and that is why the demisting is so ineffective - the damp air...
Simon, These wheels are very rare and it’s well worth having a spare. I bought two about five years ago and I think I paid about £70 each. But forget that -...
Glenn, Thanks for the info. I thought it would be worth getting a spare so better do it while I have the chance, even if I don't get it repaired straight away....
Before buying the wheel check it actually is repairable ! If it is one face that is damaged then it probably is, but if it is buckled then forget it. Buckled...

Scrap parts - yes unbelievable! At 12 mths old from new we found that the matrix was slightly corroded with flies stuck in it! (impossible in the Ginetta)....
Mark, Thanks for your advice on method of removal. I am determined to make the system work as well as possible in terms of its original design in both heating...

Are you saying then Mark that the side of the heater should be taped up or not ?? I fiddled about with mine yesterday and it does indeed work and you can feel...
Has anybody had any experience with these ?? As I am now addicted to the V8 rumble I was thinking about yet another V8 roadster to keep my dad occupied since...
Hi Simon Great drive, reliable & robust British sports car, I had a similar Griffith 500 for a few years. Servicing not expensive but buy a good one - to save...
I assume you said taped up, you are referring to the plastic sheet seen under the circular grill on the left hand side?. If you can get the cover off Id remove...
I have tried one back to back against the Ginetta, and they feel a lot more robust but heavier and less agile but you do feel it could be driven for hundreds...
I saw there were some sort of flaps inside the grill but mine had acutally been covered with masking tape which had dried out nicely so I covered it again with...
Hi Simon, I had a TVR V8S until about a year ago. Great performance, good comfort, and a very useable car. Mates of mine in the TVR club own both Chimaera and ...
