Dulford for a 24k Service

[T40ORA]

Hi Guys,

Anyone have any experience of using these guys? Someone recommended them to me and they are much cheaper than a dealer.

I know there's no name and shame on here so if anyone has some bad experience please PM through my profile.

If you have good news, let us all know!

TIA, Lee

I had my engine upgrade (3.6L to 4.0L Red Rose) and Nitrons fitted at Dulfords. Richard and his team have done an excellent job of my engine upgrade and I certainly will continue to use Dulfords.

I had all of my TVR's serviced by Richard when I was in the UK. Always treated me Ok.

Can't fault them, on price, service and quality. Highly recommended

Thanks Guys, I'll be booking in with them.

Ian, with your 4.0 upgrade do you get improved components, ala Craft and Power? When I get my rebuild I'm more keen on improved reliability, and any power increase through stability of the new parts.

Although a few extra horses and "torques" through a few extra ccs would be good too :-)

Hi Lee, you do get improved reliability because all the parts are new and upgraded. The engine was stripped and rebuilt with upgraded parts. The oil way modifications have been done aswell. Should get the Tam on the rolling road next month. Richard hint'ed that it could be 400bhp. I certainly notice the extra horses. Get the carbon fibre air tight air box fitted. This improves the airflow into the engine. I should be getting this fitted next week. I have all the details of my engine upgrade and would be delighted to send you a copy for your info.

Ian,

Ta for the offer. I've PM'd you so that you can send the details. Oh, and an indication of how much you spent would be really good if you don't mind.

400 horses AND reliability..... Hmmmm.

I've had cars dynoed on rolling roads like that before. 400 bhp from a 3,6?? Insulting your inteligence I would suggest.

yeah! ypu could say that. i did tsake it down to richard bro s in redruth and got 368bhp felt slower on way down and a bit of a missfire and when i took it back to the rr where i got 399 it did 369 then i had big probs. ie full rebuild needed. with no help from autoprotect.
