Hi,

I have been chatting to Dave, the TVR alarm specialist with a view to getting the remote boot release mod done to my '98 Chim. At the moment he does not have anything booked in the area so I am gauging interest to see if it would be possible to get him down here for a few days to work on several cars.

Anybody who may be interested in either the remote bootlid or almost any other alarm related issue, please stick your name down and hopefully something can be arranged thumbup

Nick

No, this is the proper job, linked to the alarm and with a button on the remote.

No real ideas about cost for other stuff just yet but I was quoted a little under £200 for the boot mod, fitted.

Just trying to gauge interest with the idea of arranging something fairly soon.

Could be interested, where in the west country? Dave who? and can he fit a complete new alarm system as my aftermarket one got ripped out during a recent chassis restoration.
I am in Burnham on Sea, but have interest from Bristol and Exeter. When I spoke to him he said that if enough interest was gained then he would come down for a few days and do a few cars in various locations. May even go to the TVRS SW open day in Wellington.

He can do a full system, I believe that takes around a day.

Yes Alex, that's the fella smile

OK, we have 6 potentials that I can talk to Dave about, he will hopefully say that it's enough to warrant a trip to see us.

Me - Boot release and alarm checkover
mach2 - Boot release
shake n bake - Additional remote and boot release
rob200 - Boot release
Bluebottle - Full alarm
sgrimshaw - Boot release??

I will chuck him an email and see what can be arranged.

Well that was quick. I've already heard back from Dave, he seems to think that we have sufficient interest for a trip down here. He is working on prices etc. as we speak and I will keep this thread updated.

In the meantime, anyone else who is interested please comment on here.

I only want the magnetic boot release and that's something I've asked Big Col to do at TVRSSW .... once I can get the kit from David Beer (who is out of stock ATM)

Does Dave sell the magnetic release kits ?
Sorry fella, my mistake. I can certain my ask the question and let you know.

MuffDaddy, I will add you to the list and as soon as I hear from him I'll let everyone know.

Right then folks, we have an update.

Dave has agreed to come down our way and has put together a package that I hope will make everyone happy.

Alarm service, inc. batteries - £20
Boot release - £215
Full alarm, inc. boot release and Opel key conversion - £523

If this suits then please let me know, the date is looking like the week commencing 11th August, location yet to be decided but I have offered the use of my place in Burnham on Sea if that would work for people?
