Guys,

My new TVR has been at main dealers (according to the history) for various idling probs.
Can anyone recommend a good specialist independant that they have used....I know Westover and Peninsular but much prefer a smaller enthusiastic specialist? Thanks

..did it have these problems when you bought it..? its probably just the Throttle Pot.

Cheers,
Matt

Peninsula are enthusiastic and not full main dealer prices.

there's an independent place sort of just past portsmouth... can't remember the name but i'll update when i do...


updated to say:
i asked once and they said....
closest to Poole is probably APM Automotive near Liphook or David Batty at compton near guildford

Hi ho Exuberbob.

I'm out in the sticks on the Isle of Purbeck and didn't fancy Westover for various reasons.

I ended up using David Batty; bit of a way to go but reasonable prices and a nice bloke.

I'll keep an eye out for you if I make the trek over to you townies at any time.

What colour/reg?

Then Peninsula are just the people for you.
All the benefits of a dealer, combined with all the benefits of a small enthusiastic specialist.

Hi Prunus,

Any particular reasons why you don't use Westover? Did you have a bad experience with them. Only reason I ask is that they have done the last two services on my car and I am thinking of taking it elsewhere next service.

No particular reason, other than I'm a scruffy, skint, oik and don't feel that I really fit their customer profile.

However, Westover Bodyshop did a fantastic job on some scratches for me and were nice people from start to finish.
