Done - let me know if it doesn't get to you. Pit.

Hmmm, it didn't arrive. I just tested mail delivery through hatstand, and it still seems to work. Whatever... care to try anuvver address? chrisATsecure-siDOTcoDOTuk [Die evil spammers...] Cheers.

I've the Warranty Holdings policy good, claimed for everthing in the past couple of years. The dealer seemed to have a way of getting anything thru' and fix up the mileage ion the form to whatever is required. Maybe that's why Team Central have now gone bust- their service was too good.

I had a Warranty Holdings policy on my previous TVR and they paid up for a steering rack and a radiator no problems, however I got the impressions that it is dependent on how good the relationship is between the dealer and WH. RIch...

SHock horror, I have a Warranty Holdings warranty and I am having to pay towards the labour costs of repair because I have insisted on taking my car to a TVR dealer instead of the WHA approved garages (i.e. non TVR dealers) or the original dealer who sold the car (also a non TVR dealer). So make sure you get your warranty from a TVR dealer.

Brandon warranty is covered by Scotsure,apparently Brandon sourced this themselves after customers were having problems with the WH cover.I can't comment myself as I've only had the car a few weeks/so far so good!

Just had to fork out £1000-odd for my 4.5... £320 for some front shocks + £ 156 labour... Any possibility to say shocks shouldn't go after 16000 miles and thus this is a warranty job? I think not, but maybe someone has other experiences... Also, one bank of valves had closed up - they were last adjusted some 8000 miles ago (I got the 12000 service at 8000), and "it shouldn't do that, sir"... but still £280 for adjusting. If it does it again, it's an engine-out & back to the factory job, hopefully under warranty - but why can't this adjustment be under warranty then? Damned, this thing is expensive... and all this just 3 months after a £800 service... Time to get into the car and remind myself why it is worth it...

My rear shocks on a brand new 4.5 went after 2 weeks. the front ones 2 months later. the rear ones are now 9 months old (10000 miles) and are now bottoming out on the wheel arches so appear to be on their last legs. still, what do you expect for 50k?

[James]

The sagging will be your springs, not the dampers. Over time, the springs compress ever so slightly. Because of the design of the rear suspension, this slight compression results in a lowering of the back of the car and the wheels rub on the arches. James

James, it might well be a natural 'softening' but it sounds fairly bad! I think it might have been made a tad worse after tvr fitted the 18" spider wheels (with slightly wider rims) for the recalled originals, but that might be bo***cks.

they are probably only agreeing to replace parts which are broken, not worn. This can be difficult unless you can get a friendly dealer to break a worn part! Once on a 911 I had, they wanted to fit a recon part and I basically told them to f**k off and that I wanted a new one. They gave in eventually. You can negotiate with them but its not easy.
