Hi there, I am a new member, just bought a Cerbie 4.5 on a X Plate, Sound the Nuts, Moonraker Black with all the trimmings last month, just had it checked out by my local dealer and they say I got a good car, NO RUST or Major defects (Result!), just need a new set of Front shocks and Engine Tune.
Not too much of a shock as I got it Private, dont mind spending a bit on it.
Has anybody out there got a pair for sale, I'm in West Sussex and I'm well interested.
If so drop me a line, really appriciate it, many thanks, Chris.

Dont rush into it!!!
What do you mean it needs a tune up?
The cerbera expert is close to hand ! Andy at www.apmautomotive.co.uk
You need to change all 4 shocks if you want to properly sort your suspension. Prices from just over £100 - £300 ish a corner.

Give Paul a shout at Austec - he'll sort you out!!

Beware - upgrades are addictive!!

Shout if you need any help from a fellow Cerb in West Sussex!!

Just to be fair, loads more choices not mentioned in that area like, David Batty,TVR Fix, Fernies etc etc, spoilt for choice in the SE.

OR... TopCats, TVR Barnet, UltimateSpeed, NemesisRacing, London TVR, Silverstone Performance oh and my mate bob in barnsley, come to think of it every tom dick and harry can do it, just spec the shocks to your driving style and get the local mech to bang them on.

I think you forgot an option - you can call Guy at Nitron direct and discuss your requirements with him. He's a top fella and always more than happy to listen to your requirements, to get things right.

Just so I can understand your choice, why did you go for ProTech out of the others?

Ensure you get someone competent and familiar to fit them. Set up is vital. If you are an expert yourself then you will be fine, if like me you arent then you will want an experienced person to set them up for you such that they are a good compromise from the off.
