I am not
sure that the right type of oil filter is fitted on my TVR 3000M
from 1977 (chassis nr. 4116). It is an oil filter with the name: Savara
(made in Italy) 9.28.311.00.
Perhaps you
can tell me which type of oil filter is normally used.
|
The oil filter
is Unipart Reference GFE121. Cross reference this at your local supplier
to see what comes up. Sorry I can't find your particular oil listed to
cross reference from my info.
If you need further cross reference data please let me know and I will
find out from my local supplier.

Where
are the grease points and at what interval should this be carried out? |
The grease
points are (ones that a grease gun fits onto a nipple):
- Top balljoint
for both front hubs - you'll need to remove the wheel to get to this
- Front
trunnions (swivel hub)
- Next ones
are on the handbrake cables midway between the hub and the point where
the cable goes through the chassis
- The half-shaft
inner & outer universal joint spiders may have grease points if
you're lucky to have good ones fitted
- Also the
propshaft (not originally but if aftermarket spiders fitted)
Steering column bush on chassis (not original but can be found as a
modification)
- Steering
rack tensioner nut
Grease points
where no grease nipple is fitted:
- All suspension
bush bolts (to prevent seizure of bolt in bush sleeve)
- Rear hub
stud bushes (prevents seizure of stud in bush sleeve)
- Clutch
cable both ends (and use a cable oiler to get oil right down the length
inside with WD40 or similar)
- Door hinges
(use a spray grease for these - white grease is a popular type)
- Door locks
(use spray oil eg WD40)
- Bonnet
hinges
- Wheel
studs and disc flange/drum surface that contacts with wheel (use copper
grease)
That is a good start - I will be shortly placing a servicing section in
the technical library.
