Saw you yesterday around 10:50am about 1/2 mile from the entrance to the Heritage Motor Centre/Supercar Sunday. Hope whatever is wrong doesn't keep you off the road for long. For what its worth, TVRs look awesome on the back of a transporter
That was me It was the lower ball joint that had popped, luckily it went bang on the Island and not on the M40!
This is a heads up for anyone changing their ball joints.........Please only use those manufactured by 'Lemforder' . the one that failed was bought from a major part distributor and basically wasn't up to the job IMHO.
On the plus side I managed to video an hours worth of fast cars before the truck turned up.
I used the part number/description from the equivalent parts thread http://redirectingat.com/?id=1044X509854&xs=1&...
when ordering from the local motor factors...however I didn't specifically ask for the Lemforder ones (because I hadn't known about them). I have since found out they are alot stronger than run of the mill stuff......these arrived today
to hopefully instil some confidence back in the car, my nerves have taken a battering.
Hope this helps, because thats what I believe forums are all about

Did the wheel survive ok as it looked like it took a battering.
Hi Kevin, I'll take a proper look this weekend, there are some deepish grooves, although that might just be the powder coating (It's pretty thick )..... sods law, I'd just had them refurbed.Plus I'll do a proper 'ball joint thread' just in case anyone does a search in the future.
