Well

Verdict back from the first 12k service in my ownership:
Small radiator leak - having it replaced
Leaky oil pressure sender - having it replaced
One leaky power steering hose - having it replaced.
And the wiper motor?!! blew last Thursday so replacing it too.

Apparently the cams are the latest profile/chilled steel? and inside the head is pristine.
YAY!!!!!

So, another happy owner with nothing than usual minor service points!

Go the Tuscan!

Nice one

Its funny but when I took my last Saab Aero in for its first service, when they told me that I had a few things to sort out on warranty claims, I hit the roof on the basis that I had just bought a brand new _F**KING_ car and why was it aready starting to fall to bits??

TVR owners are way layed back

(Maybe thats why I want to be one !)

fyi, just got the car back.
Engine is in top nick, chassis looks really good too. No corrosion or anything so whoever owned it before me really looked after it which is good.
Total bill has 680, including VAT which I thought was damn good!

I can recommend APM now...
