- Hi everyone; My TR3A demonstrates a fault that could be as simple as a failing condensor. Basically, it loses power dramatically after about half an hour of driving, then eventually fades to stalling

- Seems unlikely to me, from your description. In my experience, they very rarely recover after a failure. And it wouldn't cool enough in just a few minutes to make much difference. It's also going to

- Are there any "mid-range" front shock choices for the TR3(A)? I see the big three sell stock-type shocks for about $30 or so, and also sell Koni's for about 200 bucks each, but I can't seem to find

- I agree with neutral interlock and reverse light; but the OD switch can't be on the side. It needs to sense the 3/4 shift rail, which is the one in the middle. -- Randall

- I looked at the Moss TR6 diagram - the o/d switch is on top in the middle. Could it be that one side is the seatbelt interlock and the other (driver's) side is reverse? Is this where the switch would

- I forget the details on a TR6, but basically it's a switch that controls something that either only happens in neutral, or only happens not in neutral. For example, some cars will refuse to crank if
