Holy ancient thread revival!! I will be dealing with a wrinkled 3200 dash shortly, and am wondering if there is any previous advice on the forum on the best way to smooth out the wrinkles once the dash has been removed. Same issue with the A pillar cover. Heat gun? Water/steam? My 3200 spends...

Thanks Mike, that does help. It is also very encouraging that others have gone down the same route with the Volvo option from Dave, and appear to be happy. I have now ordered a Volvo replacement from Dave, and am looking forward to getting back on the road. My old TB had already had a...

That sounds great Mike . Is it just plug and play ? Out of interest what happened to your old TB to mean you needed a replacement ? Thanks . Sacha

I put myself in the lucky category not having experienced any issues with the throttle body in 9 years of ownership . My luck appears to have run out though . I now need to find a solution as the old one is officially non-repairable . If anyone has a spare working TB for sale please let me know...

I am in the process of getting my 3200 back on the road after being laid up for 18 months . unfortunately the throttle body has stopped functioning properly probably due to the prolonged storage and non-use . in 9 years of ownership never had any issues with the throttle body but I guess it was...

Fair point!!! Hoping to lavish some love and attention on mine this summer so I don't feel embarrassed coming along to an event...let's just say it hasn't had a good wash in a while...

Spotted yesterday morning a light blue 3200 travelling east along the A148 in the direction of Holt/Cromer. 3200s now such a rare sight this is the first one I have seen in approx 3 years!!...

I have just purchased a 2002 plate166 3.0 24 valve sportronic. Apologies I can't add anything useful to the debate, but I will say that the engine sounds phenomenal, and I haven't noticed anything particularly lacking in the low down grunt department. Like Zagatoes30, I reckon the 3.2 TI is the...

Obviously very happy for you if it has really happened!!

I owned this between 1996 and 1998. Lovely car, the 3.6 straight six engine was great for wafting around in but gave lots of power when right foot applied purposefully. Happy days.

With apologies for the delay, I have now paid.

Thanks for arranging this great deal. I'm in for a set of fronts please. Thanks.

I have owned a fixed head TR7 for a couple of years now and have really enjoyed using it this summer. It is the "Premium" edition, lots of pics on the internet. It isn't the quickest car. but the cockpit is actually a nice place to be in. The front end springs up when you accelerate...

I went the x pipe route without really knowing too much about the pros and cons. It has worked for me though, definitely a nicer sound and feels like it pulls more in each gear. Perhaps straight through would enhance further? Either way, this is a reasonably priced mod and I would happily...

I had the same centre section replaced with an x pipe on my 3200 a few months back. My car sailed through the MOT emissions test a few weeks later. I highly recommend this as the engine seems more powerful as a result, and the exhaust sound is nicely enhanced.

Hi Darren. I appreciate you asked about 2 specific alternatives, and distance is not an issue for you, but I recently used McGraths and came away very happy. Not that far away from you either.

Thanks Darren - extremely informative, and it has given me confidence to give machine polishing a go on my less important car... good to meet you both, and hopefully see you again for the possible Dyno Day (I will post a separate thread on that).

hurray! see you shortly.

shame but it looks like it. I'm still keen, but if you feel it's not worth your while, would understand.
