Most unreliable TVR components

[niceguy1]

I was just needing a list of the most problematic TVR components, from all types
This is because I have a TVR engineering friend, I just had a conversation about reliabilty.

Of course not, I just didn't think of the engine as a component, I meant all the switches and things that are snatched from the Ford parts bin.

[J_S_G]

S6 engine.
Anything that takes an electrical current.

The Leven Technology bits are quite good. Infact, if only Leven made whole cars!

You missed bodywork and paint work off the list!

you'd need a mortgage to afford one!

sorry simon - I'll get my coat...

[clarky5150]

The drunk driver that twatted me almost head on(save for unusually swift reactions from me) and wrote off my up till then almost bomb proof Cerby.... Oh and virtually every component on my comedy Griff.

Seriously tho... TVR Plug leads. £80 a set and can break down after a year, closely followed by the S6 engine.

[TVRinBFG]

The nut behind the steering wheel.......

[mrmaggit]

Glove box catch and speedo sender. '96 Griff.

[RUSSELLM]

The speedo that sticks every 9999 miles, and shows 40mph while I'm standing still, but not all the time , the handbrake or the stick that is supposed to represent one, the door lock solenoid that imploded, the fact that they've supplied me a radio & took the pi55 by not fitting an aerial, the oil pressure releif spring, wiring loom through the steering wheel that twists, leaking water through the brake master cylinder into the bulkhead,

P.S. If your freind works there, please pass on my regards & firm kick in the bollo*ks

The drivers judging by the bits people are breaking.

[groucho]

Glove box catch (Given up on this one, it holds itself shut) and handbrake seems to have give up the ghost in one day. 98 Griff.

Grouch.

That's nothing I had a test drive in a Tamora that showed 220 mph stationary...

Hope you didnt buy it, it's obviously been thrashed and broke the speedo. :

[gbbird]

Speedo
Mileometer
Handbrake
Starter Motor
Boot latch
Windscreen wipers
Clutch
Radiator

OK - so this is just a list of what has malfunctioned on mine, so may not be a true representation of Cerbers.
