Good News

Chim whent for MOT this morning and passed whithout any advisories and it gets better. Had a noise/whine/rumble from the back, took it to a specialist a few weeks back and they were convinced it was the diff and quoted loads of money for a recon unit and fitting. So I went and purchased another diff for a 500. Took it to my mechanic for him to fit, to make a long story short he could not do it in the allowed time as needed the car to go on hols. So he returned it back to my home saying he thought it sounded more like a bearing.
Replaced the bearing this morning and noise gone. Still I have a diff and poly bushes should the need arrise in the future. It is not all bad news with a TVR.

May I ask how much it cost. I've got a noisy one and about to get a quote.

Just called him and he quoted £150 including the bearing.
