I'm looking for a TVR specialist in Kent. I need some mechanical and electrical work done on my MK Indy Speed Six:
- Diagnose and resolve no oil temp being reported on Digidash
- Diagnose and fix play in steering (looks like play in rack, so good opportunity to replace with quicker rack)
- Resolve play in gearstick caused by extension system fitted to kit car

I'd prefer to avoid Maidstone Sports Cars as my previous history with them suggests they are not so good with electrics, and they use string to do a geo which cost me £500.

Are there any others in Kent? Cheers

Contact Taylor TVR; Unit 8, Mill Hall Business Estate, Mill Hall, Aylesford, Kent ME20 7JZ

Tel: 01622 718314


Dan looks after my car for all work and is very good. I used Austec in Crawley prior to that, only changed due to Taylor being slightly closer to my new house. Both very good.

Mine is due in for 12k service on Monday. I booked that back at the start of May! Suppose there is a downside to Taylor then!

Austec are very good, always happy with them. Anne I think it is who is the organiser of the whole operation is really helpful.

Anne hasn't worked there for probably a year or more, Martyn(Senior tech/foreman),Russell(technician)& Tom(technician) have all left the company so things maybe a little different since you last used them.

Interesting Bodmin, has anyone had work done there since the exodus of people?

I had a PM and spoke to someone who has had recent experience, and it was not a good reference. As I don't want to take any risks with my new toy, I have cancelled my Austec booking and booked into Sussex TVR. Thanks again for the help.

Delays at Taylor TVR for all work or just the big jobs? Want a straightforward service on an S2 and sort a clutch hydraulics issue...

Has anyone used Mole Valley? Not Kent but a more convenient location for me.
