If only I could get these sodding emoticons to work!!!!!!

The radiator duct et al weight quite a bit and without the stay will act to lever against the upper fixings so I think the stay is important. From the chargecooler models onwards the stay became V shaped and fixed to the chassis in two places so it may be worth copying that concept to reduce the amount of flexing the broken bracket seems to have suffered.
As sailorbob said but also, without the stays you can/will get stress cracks in the body over the front wheel arch area as this is where the body work is relatively shallow.
Hope this helps,

Like I said, I had to pay up to my daughter's 19th birthday i.e. all the time she was 18, unless she got a job. So it would be worth ringing the CSA to confirm.

According to the CSA (Child Support Agency) I had to pay up until my daughter's 19th birthday unless she got a full time job.
She is now 19 with a full time job.
Happy days!!

Chris,
You need to disconnect item 23 in the attached file, to allow you to push the headlamp pod up. Once it is up as far as it will go without straining anything, you can support it there and have easy access to the pod recess.

Lyn,
In my time I've had a Tasmin 280i, 350i, Griffith 400 and Chimaera 400.
All awesome sounding cars that never let me down, but this time last year I thought it was time to move on and an Esprit was next on my list.

Another thing I forgot to mention is that there is a pool of murky liquid in the bowl below the flip up headlights, is this common and if so how is it usually solved?
Assuming you are referring to the Esprit, the headlamp recesses should not be full of water. There is a drain hole at the bottom of the recesses which needs clearing out. You may be able to get a rod down between the headlamp pod and the body to clear the drain hole,but if not you will have to disconnect the pod actuator arm from the motor and flip up the pod manually to gain access - this is the better way to enable you to do a thorough job.

I got a lot of comments at work when I turned up in my TVRs, so I decided to get an Esprit. It had to be black and a running project - and as a bonus it has colour coded door handles as standard! :-)
I would have put in an emoticon or two there but I can't enable them for some reason. :-(

Chris,
That is not the original reg number. It was first registered as F188 XOM.

Welcome to the forum Chris. A fine choice of Esprit sir! Attached pics are mine just prior to me buying it.

As mc21.8 said above.
It's gone through to the braiding, that is not safe or repairable.

Hi Rick,
Glad you got back safely with your new toy!
Got any pics?

Alex,
The instrument dimmer switch is a rotary knob located on the left side of the steering column shroud.
Let me know how you get on.
Ged

Hi Alan,
Where abouts do you live?
Ged
-
Alex,
Do some instrument lights work and not others or do none of the instrument lights appear to work?
If it's all of them, then you possibly have the dimmer set on low.
Worth a check if it saves you hassle of replacing bulbs.

Just finished replacing my radiator.

Ah, it looked like an aperture on your first pic.
How about drilling off the screw head, holding the screw still with pliers? Then you can remove the "marker fixture" and then you should be able to remove/replace the fixing.
Ged
What engine is this?
