Anyone else suffering from this problem? I''ve just taken delivey of a new chimera with new style seats - more comfort, support etc. Only thing is the dealer forgot to mention they don''t adjust far enough forward to reach the peddles unless your 6'' or over! Consequently my wife even at 5''7" can''t get near them and even I struggle. TVR''s response - "we didn''t bother to check this when we put them in"! So I''m now in the process of all sorts of so called factory fixes, non of which have so far worked. I''ve just returned from the dealer who put in a new peddle box but forget to alter the position of the gas peddle! So we can reach the break and clutch but not the accelerator. peddle. Brilliant and total incompetence! I''m likely to be suing for a full refund - the pleasure of the drive and owning of the car has gone out of the window. It seems to me it''s time TVR were really made aware of how utterly crap their customer service and build quality really is. Anyone got a good intro to a gritty motoring journalist? I should add that my experience of the arrogance of their dealer network beggars belief and would love to make my personal story available in the press to make TVR start to sit up and listen to their customers.
