The Story So far

My Chimaera 450 developed a tappet / follower noise tried to book into local TVR dealer, told cant look at it untill july ! ( what Service )

Took it to Tvr specialist found lobes wearing on cam plus 2 hyd followers worn Need new cam and followers

Sorted i thought But TVR power are on stock take and can't despatch any thing untill Monday
( What Service AGAIN )

I am booked on ferry for le mans next Wednesday looking forward to trip in Tvr

Any suggestions apart from buy a car with better back up !Any one want a ferry ticket ?

I recently had Peninsula change the cam in my Griff 500 for a V8Dev performance one.My old OEM cam,which was in good condition ( car has only done 15K miles)was left at Peninsula - worth a call to Neil - even if my cam is no longer there/not suitable they may have others which have been swopped out for the many upgrades they have recently done.
