Kevin,
Electrical problems have a way of being especially frustrating, I think,
because the nature of electricity, without some study, is mystifying. The
TR6's electrical system is relatively straight forward. You can either
learn about it, or pay someone else to fix the problems. Also, the
ownership of thirty-year-old+ cars just isn't for everyone.
