Just a quick post (my first) to say what a fantastic bunch Castle Tvr are, especially Rob and Gary. I Phoned last week for some advice on my erratic oil pressure readings, and had a laugh and a joke and got my mind put at rest. Consiquently booked the car in for 2 weeks time, looking forward to meeting them. Im sure anyone who knows them would say the same.

We also had some fairly jumpy oil pressure readings on our way back from the Kent meet last Sunday......

Car is running fine......Rob reckons it's the sensor....due for a service so we are booked in too!

The Mid Essex Meet is on Sunday.....would be good to see you if you can make it.

Sweeping and untrue statement. Thanks to the gagging order on these forums that no-one is allowed to report bad news, you don't get both sides of a story.

I dont know what gives you the right to say that, may be you've had a bad experience? That was my opinion. still think they are top people.

I'm sure you can't please 100% of the people 100% of the time, but I've never heard a bad thing said about Castle, and in the 3 years that I've known them, have always had top notch service. My other half Mel (slamm) would also agree, as she's been over the moon with the service she's received from them recently when she bought her new Elise.

Thanks yous two for bumping the "Castle TVR Top Blokes" thread back to the top a couple of times.....

Oh and while I'm here I'd just like to say a quick thanks to Ian for taking the time to arranging sending a Tuscan 2 Convertible and Sagaris to the Mid Essex Meet on Sunday, especially after all the hassle Castle had after the accident.

Cheers to Hugh and Frazer for taking a Sunday out to bring the cars along.

Pictures on the Mid Essex Meet thread.

never had a problem with their work and when you go there they seem really helpful but if you phone them for something they seem to have this mental block to phone you back "in 10 minutes" must be nice to be that busy....

Well I can state categorically that I went there quite recently. I spoke to *&^%^& and told him (after provocation) that I'd been to &*^%$#@$7$ to have a look at Cerberas. . .
Open floodgates to a discreet tidalwave of slagging. I felt like saying that it wasn't very proffessional to talk in that tone of another TVR seller (Yes, NOT dealer). But I did'nt have the time or inclination at the time.

That IS the truth. I'm not going to convince anyone of anything. So if you don't want to believe it, keep those glasses on.

Sorry, blunt but the truth.

Now I could mention what a salesman divulged to me information about a guy who has a car on sale or return there. But I won't. In the interest of etiquette.
