I guess that noise isn't normal then!

The Rally for Heroes Tuscan is now sat up North with Dom having been taken in for some emergency work.
Full marks to him as usual, car burning excessive oil, sounding a bit clunky and according to Dom, driving like a complete pig. Clearly my engine fault analysis needs some revision because I was informed this morning that it was running on 5 cylinders! By all accounts it has six!?
Anyway, the rally launch is in just under 6 seeks time and fingers crossed, Dom will have me back on the road in 3! I know we all hark on about how much we rate these people, but seriously folks Dom met us at 9pm yesterday, then proceeded to sit and have a chat, showed us the workshops and the various upgrade options, no hard sell, just an informative session. We left an hour and a half later with a nice warm feeling that everything will be honky dory befor the months out.
So as of today, a huge thumbs up for Power!

Good choice.I made a bad one but now mine is being sorted by Dom.The engine is already rebuilt & the car goes up today for it to be put back in.
I cannot tell you how much piece of mind is worth & you get that from Power.
Good luck & best wishes for the rally.My utmost Respect goes out to all involved.

You won't regret it!!Unfortunately I was forced to take the 4.3 build Don, after Dom showed me all of those shiny bits i felt compelled!

It was also over a year before my other half found out how much my rebuild actually cost! She wasn't happy but it was too la6te by then

Reminds me of what my step-son says every time something for my car arrives through the post - "I'm telling mom'!

Less than two weeks from dropping the car off with Dom at short notice, he sends me the above video clip.
I'll be picking it up Friday, all 4.3ltrs of her!
Massive thumbs and everything else up for Dom and his team at Powers!

Just a quick update on this.
Turned up at Doms place at 2045 last night, not only was Dom more than happy to see us, he then proceeded to show us around all of his workshop and setup for the next 1&1/2 hrs. We eventually left at 2230!
Now I'm sorry folks because I know everyone bangs on about Power and Str8six, but theres a reason. Where else would someone put themselves out as much as these guys do. I make the same assumption for Jason at Str8six based on how many other things I hear from people that use him.
But as far as Dom is concerned, what an absolute gem of a guy, his work comes across with a passion and the result is there to see for everyone.
So that's a definite +1 from me in giving anyone a recommendation for TVR Power should anyone be teetering on going for the rebuild.
Best start getting some mileage on this engine now!
