It's because TVR's are chock full of character and are essentially flawed diamonds.
If we didn't stick together who would help us when things go wrong?
TVR ownership can be a test of your patience but it becomes an addiction, and for every addiction you'll always find a self help group.
The TVR self help group can be found right here here on PistonHeads and we welcome all new addicts
Supercharger or Turbo anyone
Well said Dave. If we didn't stick together who would help us when things go wrong?

I'm still on the original system and it is sometimes annoying. However, if the ignition is left in the on position, it doesn't happen. Only if you turn power off at the ignition key do you have only 10s to turn it on again.
Open, stick key in ignition, twist. sorted. Time to load up.'king obvious. Cheers fella.

I have recently had the new Meta system installed by Carl Baker. He said that the time from unlock to the immobiliser kicking in has now been increased to 60s. He also said he sees a lot more alarm failures now as the original alarm was only designed to last nine years or so, a situation made worse by TVR installing them incorrectly. ianwayne said:
My apologies for trying to be helpful.
If it's so 'king obvious, why did you say in your post that you have to "re-de-emobilise" so many times?
You what mate ? It is obvious after you pointed it out - as many things are - AFTER they have been pointed out!If it's so 'king obvious, why did you say in your post that you have to "re-de-emobilise" so many times?
I was thanking you for helping me!
Now get back into bed and exit on the opposite side.

Well after having a complete 'nothing' a few times recently when I turn the key, I'm off down south to let Carl install a new system.
I'll let you know how it all goes.
Apart from the wallet pain, you won't regret it. In the last 18 months (and 20,000 miles) since Carl's work, my car has started first time every time. Making it a reliable joy to own.I'll let you know how it all goes.
