Just to add my thoughts. Had my Chimaera for nearly 10 years now and have just had my first real problem when one of the rockers cracked the steel pad and damaged a valve stem, so heads off and refurbished, just back on the road and now have clutch slip - but love it to bits.

Wife just bought herself a very nice Boxster S fully loaded, and what a fabulous car, absolutely fantastic drivers car and everything fans of the car say it is and some. Its a credit to the TVR that a 20 year old, built in a shed British sports car will still be part of my life, still put a smile on my face, and on the right road make the Boxster look ordinary.

The great thing is that it makes the majority of people who see it, hear it smile as well.

It don't make no difference I have changed them with everything in the bay , no trickery just short spanners for the unions that's it, never understood brake bleeding issues with these cars anyway.
I just thought that with the engine out your access via the clutch panel would be easier by standing in the engine bay.
I see so you're not swapping the servo. Aren't you worried about the servo being full of brake fluid? I suppose it would smell nice. smile

Unbelievable... I speak from the goodness of my heart and all I get is abuse. wink

Actually though, you do have to be careful when making innocent offers, I bought a new fridge freezer back end of last year, and was so pleased with it (it's bright red) I asked a young woman in the pub (who's into kitchen design) if she'd like to come round and see my Smeg. Needless to say, as always, I was misunderstood whistle
