All in the title really!

The car went for its annual MOT yesterday, and at the garage during the brake test the braided brake hose on the near side front split spilling brake fluid all over the place. It turns out it was rubbing on the underside of the top wishbone, very hard to spot! luckily it happened at the garage not on the 500 mile trip I did the day before! I hate to think what would have happened on the motorway had it gone then!

Anyway, to the point. Phoned Tower View yesterday at 2:30 in a panic wanting a new brake hose, chap on phone said he would do what he could and guess what? Poste arrived about 30mins ago with shinny new brake hose! So thanks Tower View, saved my bacon with the missus and the weekend road trips still on!

Agreed.
I used to buy parts via TMS but I now realise Mark and the guys at Tower View have stock of anything that's needed.

Also, they did a fantastic bodywork repair to the Chimaera last summer. I had initially taken the car to the TVR Centre to get a quote for a (non-fault) rear end collision. Weeks passed and no quote was forthcoming to the insurance company (their loss as I use a very good broker). Eventually I called Tower View, arranged an inspection and, within days I got the go-ahead for them to proceed. The owner specialises in GRP repair (albeit, in my case fairly minor).
Thoroughly recommended (unless you're nervous of very large Great Dane 'pups')

Biggest pup I have ever seen.

Can recommend Mark and the guys though. They did a lot of work on my Chim before I sold it and I never had any cause to complain (other than the fact I was paying out on it all the time, but can't really blame them for that).

Can I concur with that!
Mark and the gang have done an excellent job for me in the past on my old Chim.
I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone needing work done!

I also agree with the comments regarding Marks dog. I thought we had two large dogs until I saw "Buster" The Great Dane (cunningly disguised as a small horse)!!
