Speed Six Cluch

[vindaloo]

FKERS!!!

I've got a Tuscan 2000. The cluch startted slipping the other day so popped it down to the dealer. When taken out one of the liners had come away hence it slipping. Now there was other wear on the cluch as but not to the point that one should come off. TVR told me to p155 off and WH got the golden words, "wear and tear". The car has only done 5k and I can't believe both can get away scott free. I don't want to shell out for a independent assesment my self cos WH will just get another one to confirm the orignal. Any one got any advise which doesen't involve bullets?

when you say liner do you mean lining as in friction lining? if so i'd argue that's a mechanical failure - it's become physically detached. the warranty should cover that seeing as you've got broken bits you can show them. your dealer isn't trying hard enough on that one I'd say.

what I can't get in contact with the bloke at the mo but Friction ones does ring a bell. They are saying that the wear broke it?? How much do you charge for a cluch J? I live in London whic is some way from you I beleive.

well I could do it but not until september .. fully booked until then.!
but for the record, if it's just the linings then a pair of reconned plates fitted would be 300 pounds.

well as they say you never see a poor TVR mechanic.

Thanks

I had similar "its wear and tear" or "its not unusual" issues with my Cerbera when the front shocks went at 7.5K Miles, and also when my tappets needed adjusting just 6 months and 2.5K after previously being done ! Stand your ground is my advise and don't except everything you are told.

Not sure who you spoke to at the factory but I have found the service department to be the best initial contact and if they agree with you they will usually speak to customer service for you which then seems to have the desired effect.
