Chiltern Group Technical Support Network

* The Network is made up of members of the Chiltern Group, who are generously prepared to give of their time to share their hard-won experience and knowledge to help others. They do so freely for the benefit of fellow TR owners on a purely voluntary basis. They are not professional engineers and may not know all the answers, but they do have a wealth of experience gained from long term TR ownership. Get in touch or seek them out at a Group meeting.
* Please note that contact details are only available in paper form. Ask for a copy at the next meeting.
* New people are most welcome, please ask.

Hywel has owned his TR2 for 11 years and it gets well used ! With a well developed engineering skill and ability he offers specialist experience covering steering, rear axle (inc differential) and SU carbs (of the era), and rebuilding front suspension. Call Hywel by chance no later than 11.00pm

Geoff’s previous car was a TR4 and he offers practical experience of general maintenance and “keeping ‘em going”. In this context he has a very well developed network of local contacts.

Simon has 25 years TR ownership. Happy to advise on all 4 cylinder models and able to tackle most things other than bodywork or trim. Engine crane and stand available to borrow. Generally unavailable before 8pm weekdays.

Peter has amassed considerable experience of most things TR in 35 years of ownership. If he doesn’t know, then he probably knows someone who does.

First TR6 in 1987 followed by a long door TR2. Roger describes himself as a polisher first and engineer second but does most of his own work (other than bodywork) and happy to lend a hand.  A reasonable library and range of tools and equipment including a lift.

Bob Camden - Long Crendon

Bob has had his six for 3 years and is able to offer well developed practical skill and with particular focus on the engine. Additionally, he can offer the advantage of a 6ft deep inspection pit. Bob is usually available after 5pm Monday – Friday and at most weekends.

Dick has had the current car for 4 years but previously undertook a nut & bolt restoration on a GT6. Happy to provide advice and practical assistance; ask the question and if he can’t help he’ll say so !

Tim is very modest about his technical experience but over 25 years he’s rebuilt the rear suspension, installed the wiring loom and formed fuel lines, re-trimmed, fitted relays (headlamps) and instrumentation. Workshop gear includes torque wrenches and a low level jack. Tim’s not available on Sundays or Public Holidays.

Ian, an electrical engineer by profession, has had his six (running twin carbs) for 4 years and does most things for himself. Happy to offer practical help if possible and with a good range of tools available.
