Not one to let a nasty cold get in the way of progress, I did some more work on the TVR today.

So I guess this is where we start then.
I’m a sucker for old British cars that need love. It just so happens that they keep finding me.
There was one thing left that I hadn’t tested for in my quest to sort the idle issue, and that was the fuel pressure.
After 300,000km, the old suspension was no doubt a little on the tired side. An easy fix is to fit a set of adjustable suspension. So, that’s what I did.
Another part of trying to sort the idle is to replace the idle control valve, which has been a bit suspect from the beginning.
In my quest to smooth out my idle issue, I wanted to remove and check the DME and VNC units.
Ah yes, that time again. It’s not my M3 if it doesn’t involve rebuilding the Vanos at some point.
Well, the time has come. I’m keeping the BMW for the foreseeable future, so the only logical next step was to drop some dead weight, and pull out the subs.
Its been a while, for two main reasons, but I’m still here, and for now, so is the BMW.
