Servicing and Repairs in South Yorkshire

[scottyr]

Just made my first sports car investment at 23. A Cerbera Speed 6.

Not thinking before i bought it i aint the foggiest where to get it serviced close by. Any fellow Sheffielders out there that can help, also same applies for repairs, fittings etc

[chim_girl]

I don't know of any in your area, but Joospeed in Chesterfield has a great reputation.

[scottyr]

Do they both service and repair?

Is Joospeed the Noble garage?

Where is the richard taylor garage?

Either of you had reliability issues?

The car i have is a 2000 V. Problem being its had no problems whatsoever so i think im due the brunt of them

Here is a link to Joospeed's homepage and Joolz is also a PH member. He does sevice and repair but not bodywork AFAIK.

I used him for work on my Chimaera, fantastic.

The only problem I had with my Chimaera was a small leak in the radiator resulting in overheating. The Tuscan hasn't been without the odd problem, none of them engine related though - Phew!

Edited to add:- Had forgotten that I had to replace the clutch and flywheel at 25k miles. Whoops!

This is 4 year old and only done 23 miles.

Are these things driveable in the wet?

With care though. Don't try and hit the 'go' pedal too hard. I've had mine in the rain, wet, and a little sprinkle of snow without problem. You just have to remember to take it easy, I have a 'no overtaking' rule if the conditions aren't good. I'm not prepared to risk spinning the car just to arrive a few seconds earlier.

Nice to see women driving cars like this, never thought it was possible lol

Thank-you. There are quite a few girls here that have TVR's.

Pssst... when she says 'girls', she really means rancid old boilers....















But I hear one or two are really babes...

Another thumbs up for Dr. Joolz.

Congratulations on the car Scotty

Hope to meet you at a drive out or meet soon.

With regards to servicing....I don't know how much experience RT Racing has with the Speed Six engine. I think they are more early TVR, Rover V8, and AJP engined Cerbera people. I could be wrong though! You'd be better off with Joospeed I think.

Best Regards

Hi Scott. I'm local to you, and so is kevin63. He knows more about the the sp6 engine than me. He's on his forth one.

As in the bridge, always requiring maintenance?
