Bl**dy Speed Six engine's gone yet again !!
Discussion
Just been down to APM about my coolant loss problem... and it turns out that it's the head gasket thats gone 
I can't beleive this, this is the 3rd time the engines been shagged and only 2000 miles since a complete rebuild. Its an engine out and back to Blackpool job again.
TVR better be very accomadating when I call them up on Monday !
B*llocks !

Sorry to hear this.
You haven't had much luck recently - what with the accident as well. (Has the TP's insurance coughed up for the repair?)
I hope you get a speedy resolution, but, don't forget the factory goes back to work Monday after their two week break - so, there maybe a back log of work.
Neil.
Cheers Neil... Yes the 3rd party made full payment in the end (over £31k in the end
) Car is still driveable at the moment...but I hope TVR can get me in as soon as possible. Got a long wait until Monday to find out my fate
Cheers for the support guys,
This Cerbera certainly has had its fair share of problems... I've stuck with it, as I was fairly sure that nothing else could possibly go wrong with it !
Don't think I could part with it now, especially after all the modifications and upgrades that its had.. its basically a brand new car.
I'm hoping that very soon it will start behaving itself!
As to costs, I think I was naive when I first bought the car and let a dealer charge me for all sorts. The costs have gone right down since I've been using APM (and I get better service!!). Also remember that I've done over 20,000 miles in this car, lots more than most people do...but yes, I'd still be very concerned about buying a Speed Six engined car, there's no way they've sorted the problems.
I'll keep you posted as to what TVR want to do about this !

Update: TVR are going to cover shippage of car and fix of engine problem free of charge. Also managed to wangle the car to the front of the queue...so hoping for a quick turnaround.
Car should get picked up tomorrow. At least TVR have been pretty good about this.... well done fellas.
.. just put the bloody engine together properly this time
