 I was recently reading a message of yours that listed the various parts

Multi-loop Stabilizer and Synchronic Feedback circuit.  According to the
TARDIS manual, it's impossible to make a smooth materialization without
setting these two circuits.  Mentioned in The Pirate Planet.
 Of course the Fourth Doctor doesn't believe what the manual says.  :)

 I don't think he was all THAT bad a producer, but it was the scripts
more than anything that destroyed the show during Colin Baker's era.  If
Doctor Who were to start up again I'd like to see scripts by the authors
that have been writing the BBS novels, they are very good.  Kate Orman,
Paul Leonard, John Peel and a bunch of others.  Perhaps even Terry
Nation or Terrance Dicks, since they wrote a number of excellent scripts
in the "good old days".
