  1. I managed to complete a full track day in my old GD cobra having bodged a broken throttle cable with a pair old 'artery forceps'. A most under rated bit of kit from the medical world that I always used carry just in case of motoring issues in my self build kit car
  2. You know you can never have too many tools! I think its better to get a second hand good quality item though - think mine was £40 but its buried in the garage somewhere.
  3. There we go; electrics again - glad its all roses now ?
  4. Agreed - electrics can be spooky! My point was that I had done nothing to my engine apart from lay it up for the winter & tried to start it with old fuel - a part co-incidentally failed
  5. I always had it drummed into me that 90% of misfires were electrical. Could your changes have just highlighted a separate problem? I spent weeks trying to sort out a misfire on a V8 changing/adjusting loads of stuff only to find that after its winter hibernation, the electric rev limiter had decided to start cutting in at 1500rpm!!
  6. Thank you for the welcome chaps! Its always fun to browse a new forum & I'm looking forward to the search; considering a TR4A Richard
  7. Hi Just joined and posting to introduce myself. I have owned several Triumphs in the past and am considering coming back to the fold after 32 years! Having just realised the TSCC is based only a handful of miles from me in Leicestershire, joining the forum seemed a good place to start. My first car was a dark blue Herald 1200 convertible which I sold in 1980 & I still have the original number plates. I then had a 1973 Spitfire 4 & finally a 1994 mimosa TR6 in 1986 before being seduced away by the hot hatch scene. I'll have to do some digging in old photo albums to see if I have any pix to post. Anyway, it would be great to become involved with/own one of these classic cars again & I look forward to meeting you all in due course Richard
