I know some of you have had your cars done so any advice would be greatly received.

I've been looking through previous posts for any pointers for the best place to get a Chimaera re carpetted.

My current carpet has 10 years worth of leaks and stains which i cannot get out even with a steam cleaner and is starting to annoy me.

I've stopped the leaks using the favorite method of hose pipe on full pelt whilst sitting in the car.

An idea of what the cost was would be great aswell.

Thanks

There is a place which I've heard good things about over in Baldock.

Sorry no details but i'm sure if you search the TVR forums it'll come up

The place in Baldock is called A&R Pound. I'll have a rummage around for their number.

Edit: Aha! That was easier than I thought - 01462 892704

Hi Tricky. Sorry to hear of your problem. Exactly the same thing happened to a friends Chimaera a few weeks back. He was about 500 yards from his garage so I ended up towing him with my Yaris (and I relish in reminding him about it )

Turned out to be as simple as a loose wire on the fuel pump. Check it out first as it may well save you the garage bills!

Had mine done there a couple of years ago, £450 for wilton carpet and mats fitted. I have to say they were excellent and I would highly recomend them.
They are behind the Tescos in Baldock if you know the area.
