Have read numerous threads on what to look for when buying a Cerb.Have also looked at what goes wrong.Am a little worried that its a cross your fingers and hope for the best when you get in one.Is there a manual on them a-la Haynes.I want to do as much background on them as I can before purchase.I know your all very knowledgable on here but its useless if im stuck on petrol station forecourt-look like a pillock syndrome.

Have even managed to get her indoors interested.Was just going to go out and buy one anyway and explain later,which normally means im in the dog house. Thanks Paul

There are lots of sources of info, some people have copies of the workshop manual that the deales have. Apparently it isnt that useful though.
Get yourself down to an indie servicer and pay him an hours labour to show you round a car that he is servicing? make notes and bobs your auntie.

The Cerbera Register located at www.tvr-cerbera.com & www.cerbera.info
should help with some of your questions.

There was a rumour that Steve Heath is working on a manual but I haven't seen anything about this recently.

Do you think this will be a "Haynes" style manual?

He's very much working on it.
It will be very similar to the Griff bible but probably with more information and detail judging from the current draft.

Been incredibly busy working on the car and other projects but it is full steam ahead.

Ben Samuelson has given it his blessing and the factory will review the material before publication and given permisiion for me to publish/use their material.

My Cerbera is almost completed its rebuild with new shocks/brakes and other bits and pieces. Tower View and myself have taken the car apart and put it back together and it will get promoted to shopping trolley status from its current runabout. Door seals have been changed, oil switches, cooling system, radiator etc etc. Been right through it generally and this has provided a lot of useful information.

Currently writing the chapters now. Brakes, transmission and suspension are competed and take 90+ pages alone!
