Well b*ggeration - having got the beast upto speed and fully fetled ready to go, after 150 miles of driving I find myself stranded on the hard shoulder of the M40 thinking the inline fuse has gone pop (power just died in the outside lane & battery light went on) Not having any tools with me I am recovered to TVR Power thinking it will be an easy fix - only to discover the fuse is fine but the camchain had broken - according to Dom this happened to 5 cars that he worked on last year - now I thought this was a rarity but for one garage to quote that many seems there could be others - the most annoying part is that the tappets and cam timing had just been done along with a load of other work - any one else unlucky enough to suffer this, could this be another weak spot?
