[Rovernet] 2000TC Flywheel - Clutch burned out

[Dermot Harvey]

Hi all,

Bob, I  have the same problem with electronic ignition in my series 2 TC. I had a friend make up an electronic gizmo with should have cured the problem	. Alas, it didi not work! So now I bypass the electronic ignition when the car is running.
I may have a clutch in my parts stash - I will liook when I get home in early September	.
