Any TVR specialist dealers in Dorset ?

[jonolondon]

hi Folks,
I'm in Bournemouth right now and it looks like my Tuscan has sprung a coolant leak.

Does anyone know of any local/dorset garage/dealer where they might have a clue as to how to get the bonnet off/patch it up so that I can get back to London ?

Assume any coolant mix from a regular garage can be used to top up the levels ?

It is the middle nozzle - right ?!

Cheers,

Westover Group in Bournemouth used to be a TVR dealer. Looking at their website now there is no mention of TVR, however I know of at least one Tuscan owner who took their car to them until recently

Pop up the road to APM.

Yeah, Westover's service department will do it for you. Eventually. They might even not cock it up!

I would'nt take my Tiv to W***O***** even if you paid me

NH Autos, who now seem to be Red Mist Racing.

They are only about 10 miles away in Blandford Foum.

Ok - thanks a lot for the replies folks - Westover doesn't sound too promising but the only option ! Cheers, Jonathan

Dulford's are only a quick trip down the A303 from you. I can highly recommend their services.

A Couple of the Hants TVRCC guys have had work done on their Tivs at Williams Street Garage in Southampton.

The owners run a Chimaera and a Cerbera - if that's any recommendation.

Haven't had work done myself, but I believe reports are generally favourable.

Thanks for all your advice guys - it is due a service/check-up following the head-gasket debacle, so I've decided to fill it up with water, bunged some radiator seal in there and hope I can get it back to Fernies for the service tomorrow. Still have 50 miles to drive in the rain tonight to West dorset, so hope I make it ! I'll be watching the temp gauge like a hawk (obviously) and the leak doesnt *look* too bad at present...

Jonathan.

Yes me too and I live in Essex! Quite a nice drive down for the weekend though!
