Broken Clutch woes...
Discussion
Guy's, a bit of help needed.
I had a new clutch fitted in the Tuscan in May this year at a TVR main dealer. I did 2800 miles and had gear selection problems so back to the dealer.
Turns out the clutch needed to be replaced.
So clutch replaced, and £700 out of pocket, the garage is making a claim to TVR engineering for the faulty part.
Thing is though, the claim will only be approx £500 as TVR will only pay for the faulty part and 'warrantee' labour rates?
Basically this will leave me £200 out of pocket due a faulty clutch being fitted to the car.
Sound familar or am I being ripped off? It's been suggested by the garage to send a letter to Dave Oxley at TVR to complain?
Cheers for any help/advise in advance

Said it before and say it again.....the standard clutches are crap and there is so much evidence in the Tuscan, S6 Engine and the Cerb forums which support that fact. If you can be ar5ed to pursue it, sure you can try and recover some of your losses, you have little else to lose... but you're likely going to be offered another crap standard clutch to be fitted....which I reckon will end up in only one eventuality.
Personally I would bite the bullet and get one of the independants clutch assemblies fitted. There are at least 2 indies doing them now and they can't be any worse than the factory's effort plus you can kiss goodbye to the slave cylinder woes at the same time.

Your contract was with the dealer. If you are unhappy (which you must be!) it is up to them to sort it out with you. If they are then in the fortunate postion (for them) for hem to recoup from a third party, then that's their business. It should not delay them attending to your problem.
(If, however, they say you've had some beneficial use, or that you are somehow responsible for the damage, that's a different issue)
