Hi Peter,
Sorry to hear you are having a few issues with the TVR. I will try to answer your queries.
1/.Imobiliser.
I had problems with this when I first bought the car and was going to have it checked by a specialist, but then got used to using it and never had any more issues with it. It may be worth giving it a bit more time and just getting used to it.
If it keeps playing up, an alarm specialist should be able to sort it out.
2/.Engine idle.
This never happened to me at any time while I had the car. It always ticked over at about 900RPM. Has anything been changed or adjusted?
I would check all of the small vacuum pipes connected to the carburettor and engine breather system. Sounds like it could be an air leak upsetting something.
3/.Suspension.
A lot of bushes were replaced especially at the front. I only used standard OEM bushes. Also replace some balljoints and wishbones. I replaced a lot of the suspension bolts so it should come apart easily, but I am not sure it's necessary as I did check everything, unless I missed something. The rear shockers are adjustable, but I left them as they were when I bought the car.
It may be worth having the tracking/geometry checked as I did not do that.
4/.Modifications.
As far as I know, everything is standard. Don't know anything about a "Tornado chip". Not even sure what that is!
5/.Clonking.
I did look at the diff bushes when I was doing the suspension and they looked ok. Also checked the driveshafts/CV joints and they all seemed ok. May be worth checking the propshaft joints or gearbox mounting bushes.
6/.Springs.
I think the front are standard, but am not sure about the rears as non-standard shock absorbers have been fitted.(coil overs).
7/.Catalytic Converter.
This is located in the vertical section of exhaust under the bonnet and as far as I know is standard.
Hope all of this helps and you get everything sorted out.
Regards,
Chris.
