Anyone else having trouble getting hold of new front wishbones and all other bits required to do the complete job, bushes, bolts, etc, from TVR direct or any maindealers?
Mines well in to week 2 waiting, and the bits that have come are apparently a bit shoddy!
Don't really blame the garage thats doing the job, but come on TVR get your finger out!
And not that happy about having to replace them anyway, all right its a 94 Chimaera, but has anyone ever replaced wishbones on a 7 year old car (non TVR)?

Looks like I'm not going to Snetterton trackday on Thursday, or even Rockingham Tasmins on Sunday!

My point exactly, the new ones which are about to be fitted are not up to my standards, but if I want them shotblasting and doing properly its going to cost me, I bet even Kias are galvanized! Come on TVR the bits are not cheap don't try and supply crap bits to your loyal customers!

The garage tells me one of mine is actually cracked, and the other side will not be far behind
While they are replacing the lower arms they are doing the uppers and all the bushes/bolts, I'm just disapointed about how long it's taking.
No refund on 2 weeks road tax, or insurance, but I know a lot of people have it even worse with the factory but it's been sunny since I dropped it off
