Here Come The Troubles

[Tangoed]

Had a look under the sag today, and coolant on the floor. looks like the rads got a leak, drivers side between the oil inter-cooler and the rad itself.

I'm not even going to ask about warranties! Is this the start of the TVR breakdown syndrome that plagued me with my cerbera, I bloody well hope not! I think I'll get a re-core in the next couple of weeks, another £100 gone. Still if this is all that goes wrong, then I'll be a happy chappy

So whats gone wrong with yours since you've owned your pride and joy, And make me happy whats it cost.

Are you sure it's the rad and not condensate off the Air-con unit? I had this panic on the Lexus....

Mine dripped condensation once so much I thought it had popped a hose. Water was pouring from under the car at a petrol station on the M4. Luckily it was just the aircon condenser.

I haven't had the air con on, and its been in the garage, not used. The water was low in both tanks, so I topped them up and bled the system a little. And hey presto! it was leaking quite a bit, well drip drip.

[The Surveyor]

Sounds like your first suggestion was right i'm afraid.....

Hope it's nothing too wallet robbing.

Thats quite a number of Sags have had this, mine included. Let me know if you get yours recored as I have the old one in my garage and will do the same (bought new one from RG)and keep for a spare.

Happened to me on the Toon Hoon 2 !! Same thing.

I think I'll just change it and bite the bullet.

Mine lost water quicker than I could pour it in at 2 months old, had to have a new rad....

Same here, but fine for 20k since.

Typical 1st year TVR niggles, but annoying until they're all sorted.
