Has anyone used Forza West in Chepstow

[Davewelly]

I have a running issue with my Griff that is proving somewhat difficult to resolve.
The car was left for 4 weeks at a local mechanic but the issue remains. I've had a new distributor, dizzy cap, rotor arm, coil, plugs, leads, it's been tuned has a new fuel filter and the AFM has been checked. It still won't rev past 4000rpm under full throttle (although occasionally it will if I accelerate gently???.

Anyway the mechanic I was using has suggested I try ForzaWest in Chepstow as they specialise in TVR's and I was wondering if anyone on here has any experience of them and possibly recommend?

Cheers in advance
Dave

weve been using forza west for the last 4 years hes a very clever chap if any body can sort it out he can ,sounds like your running out of either fuel or air though

Mine and a mates' Griff are due there next week and several other Bristol TVRCC members have used with very favourable experiences recently......

Sorry to see you're having trouble with (ex) K10RUS. Just a stab in the dark - have you removed the plenum chamber? I remember I once found that one of the inlet trumpets had somehow worked it's way out of it's seating and was rattling around inside the plenum...might be worth a look if you haven't already?

Do you still have the original air ducting between the filter and AFM?

I recall reading that the original ducting has an inner lining that (when old and knackered) can separate and collapse, blocking or restricting airflow.

I'll check that, cheers

Another big for Stu at Forzawest. Mine goes nowhere else. Used them since they opened.

I will also be using Stu from now on, wish i'd known about him sooner.

Out of interest, how long have they been open?
I was told there was a TVR place in Monmouth? As Chepstow is in Monmouthshire I'm assuming it was a mix up?

Cheers for the recommendations, makes a big difference when you know you can trust a mechanic

noone in Monmouth that I'm aware of, must be Stu as Chepstow is only 15miles further, as you say in Monmouthshire
