Test Drive questions

[maverick dave]

Am getting serious now, drove my first TVRS on the weekend, 1 Griff and 3 Chims.
I hired a Griff for the weekend and test drove, 2 4.5s and a 4, big power difference, 5 is a bit scary for me actually, but did love it!!

One question though, one 4.5 I was keen on drove really well, but stuck a little in the gears, I commented to the dealer and they said they would check it out but thought the clutch may be on the way out, clutch was a bit heavy as well.

I have very little idea with cars mechanically, so do you guys have any idea.

Love the cars though, will buy very very soon.....

Thanks for that guys.
It was a 99 T Reg, and I did think it could be me, but I drove it twice, and another 4.5 just before it, and everything else was fine, just this one felt notchy and was difficult to move particularly from 2nd.

Gutted, really wanted this one, right color, late model, don't want to wait any longer for my own....

I know I know, don't buy the first one!!!!

Thanks for all that.

I did ask the garage to have a look at the problem, and they are going to look at it and come back to me, I just wanted to make sure it wasn't a start of a possible catalogue of problems. Still a bit worried on what it could be?

SGirl, yeah I drove 4 different cars on the weekend, and that was the only one where I missed a gearchange and put it back in 1st from 2nd, could be similar. Car drove fine otherwise. Did the clutch on the Griff seem a bit different?

Definitely book a test drive, the don't like you just turning up, even if you ring and tell them when you expect to arrive, Mole Valley, won't be going back!!!

You're right Chessington it was.
