DIY Service kit

Where is the best place to get what i need for a service that a private mechanic is doing? He's a pro so no concerns about him knowing what to do, just need to provide him with the parts......

[portzi]

not the cheapest by any stretch of the imagination but the money your saving on labour charges will outbalance the extra expense for genuine parts as its really not worth risking saving a afew pounds and fitting dodgy aftermarket parts?

also found these service schedules on tinterweb not sure how close they are to TVR factory ones as its says Chimaera on the top of the page and then cerbera below it?

There are VERY few parts which are "TVR's" own parts.

Most service items are Land Rover or Ford:

Just use your local motor factors. Usually cheapest for engine service parts.

Yep, use a local motor factors, no sense in paying "TVR Tax" from a specialist on Land Rover parts. Use GSF if there is one near you, they do 25% discount for Pistonhead members and are already pretty competative.

Use local Factors or GSF.

Part number available here: http://www.chimaerapages.com/parts-list.html

There are no TVR specific parts in the service schedule that I know of.

[Tyre Tread]

If he does he will get the lawyer's answer... It depends

HT leads, distributor cap and rotor arm if its a full service.

Plus oil of course.
