New Owner - advice needed

[jcazenove]

Hi I have just bought a used Tuscan and wanted to pick your brains on some issues:

1 - What is the best cover for use mainly inside to keep off dust etc (seen some on ebay for around £45)

2 - The garage does not have any electricty points so trickle charge not an option. What is the longest it can be left with alarm on and be able to start??

3 - Best service centre (Cost and quality of work) around London.

Many thanks in advance for the assistance.

Act www.actproducts.co.uk/accessories.php do a solar powered trickle charger.

James - check out these threads (search function normally comes up trumps with a number of questions such as these);

which should cover it all. Not convinced personally of the cheaper options as these inevitably can end up scratching, allowing ponding of water, or worse, moisture build up and damp inside the car. All down to personal choice though....

Best service centre - depends on where you are in London, but if near the SW, Racing Green generally well recommended; TVR London in Kings Cross also appear to be doing well.

I'm in Battersea and use Topcats in Aylesbury for their impartiality.

They're not TVR dealers, but a TVR race team. They tell it like it is and might save you a lot of money.

Ask to speak to Warren.

If your car is out of warranty then TopCats are highly thought of by many on these forums. The suspension upgrade they did on my Tusc TRANSFORMED the handling. As a race team they really know how to set the car up.
