Having Just bought a my first TVR, a lovely blue S2 . The one thing I am concerned about is all the things I have read regarding Failing Brakes and the Brake Master Cylinder going soft ect. Should this be something I should be very worried about. The car is going in for service next month and am reluctant to spend the £200 on new plastic. ? is there a cheaper alternative and where can I get one, in order to get the garage to fit as I don't have the facilities to do it myself ??

Thanks, I will keep my hand near the hand brake while driving just in case. The car I have just bought is Mike Smiths old Azure Blue S2. (page 2 reluctant Sale, in the adverts), best thing I ever did. Just a little worried about reliability at the mo. Only one brake down in the first month. (battery went flat)

Now, I'm confused. Yes the frietrace idea was just over protection on my behalf compairing a price of hand held to an automatic system, and yes if I am worried about the thing going up in smoke having a good look under the bonnet is a good idea. But in reply to the brake issue, still confused. Yes she is going in for a full service next month, but is there anything else I should be asking them to do / replace to stop any failures. Some say yes some no,
