As part of the 12k service you get your tappets checked/adjusted. Can anyone tell me of the cost of this ( not the whole service just checking / adjusting the tappets )
TIA
Just had mine done at Racing Green - came to £233 of which £216 was labour so I'm sure you could finda better deal if you wanted
I am getting service done at Falcon in Middlesbrough and they have quoted my £350 plus vat to adjust them all. But they said they will just charge me for the ones that want adjusting .
Is this part of a service, or separate - that might have an effect. That price is quite expensive. Especially for a non main dealer. Obviously you want it doing properly, so you can't push them to cut corners, but even so...
Thinking about it, Hexham are just up the road. I bet they won't charge any more.
I thought it was a bit expensive. I am really impressed with the work this garage do so I am happy they will do the work right. I engine had a top end rebuild about 4K ago so I am thinking that the tappets cant be that far out ...... can they ?
Most dealers think money grows on trees they charge too much anyway.If their not carefull they will go the same way as the Dinosaurs.
If you look at the 12k Service Schedule on most of the websites offering TVR Services, they seem to quote the price for a full, factory schedule 12k service without the tappets being checked/adjusted. Comparing that with a quote I've had for full 12k service including check/adjust tappets, I would concur that the charge is around £300 all in.
Factory used to quote 5 hours labour to adjust them.
AND your car needs to be clap cold...Preferably left overnight- cold...

automedon gave me a good quote for checking and then adjusting mine,
i got a 6k service plus new door seal, headlights re-sealed, new targa panel catch, new gearknob, new airfilter and tappets adjusted (12 shims needed replaced) for £705
top guys, top job, very competitive price!
