can anyone point me in the right direction?

[lightweight brad]

I recently bought a LW 4.5 CERBERA on a 54 plate and it seems to be running a little bit lumpy as well as giving out a strong smell of petrol on a regular basis, just wondered if anyone knows of a good tuner in the kent or essex area, cheers.

I recently bought my Cerb from Walldonway (Ex TVR main dealer) in Larkfield Kent.

They have done some pre delivery work already and have serviced my car since new, so might be able to help.

But I'm hearing very good things about Austec at Crawley, is that too far?

There are several indis' who offer excellent service, it is well worth travelling to get the right 'treatment'.

Austec get a lot of the southern business because of their location and a lack of options locally.

Any @ APM is also worth a visit. his knowledge is huge, he also carries out the work himself, so you know who to talk to.

A recent visit to Track Car Solutions was also worth the trip, he offers a Rolling road service and his knowledge of tuning the AJP seems vast.

Do Walldonway still charge 'main dealer' hourly rate?

Do your research. Unfortunatly, due to legal reasons, Pistonheads have to have a name and shame policy so all you will find on these forms is positive feedback for ALL indis', this offers a rather skewed view. Talk to people about their experiences, via email if necessary.

Good luck

Any chance of some more details on the car. I see it's wearing an RX (Reading) registration plate in your profile picture just like my own.

Was that profile picture taken at Racing Green TVR in Hampshire?

Not being nosey just interested to know a few more details on what must be one of the last Cerbs made. Also some rear and interior pics would be nice.

After reading past threads on engine bay fires it may not be a good idea to drive the car until the source of the petrol fumes has been found.

Think you'll find that that is Castle TVR, not Racing Green.

I just had some bits and pieces done by Leven in Basildon. They are VERY thorough and I would recommend them.

You're right, hence the Shield logos on the roller shutter doors.

Andy at APM gets my vote - he supports JonnyW Cerb - (search the threads)

Hi Simon, I bought the car from Castle TVR, and they've been really helpful, luckily I've got a years wear and tear warranty on the car so they're going to investigate the petrol smell for me next week.I'll let you know how I get on. I was told that there are probably only a few 54 plate cars in existence, and I haven't seen any others so far, I've only got a few pictures of the car which I'll post on my profile,
thanks, Brad.

Hi Ian, the car is being checked out for me next week under my warranty, after that I'm going to rollin road it because I used to have a 4.0 Tuscan and being totally honest, the cerb doesn't feel as fast so I think I'll pop by Leven,
Thanks, Brad.

Hi Bradley

Check out the thread posted by C8 CDS this morning called "A word of warning......

See your Cerb has a Portland Grey and Black interior, one of the best combinations IMO.

Hope your car is 100% sorted soon so you can begin to enjoy it to it's full potential.

Simon
