Join the club - starting to wish I'd stayed with my Nissan! Motor sounds like it's missing when cruising and just doesn't seem to have any guts when accelerating. If garage can't fix in new year, this is up for sale!!
have you checked all the ignition components?i had similar a while back it was a duff injector

Make sure they know injected V8's well. It is a simple engine though. If you do sell i hope you do the honorable thing and point out the engine fault 
Hey slideways, that sounds like something I'm getting (or not). I'm sure when I first got the car it'd light up the tyres on the throttle in second and sometimes in third. Now , sure I get acceleration but nothing like I used to. Some people say 'oh you've just got used to it' but I know in my bones that it's just not the same , , the grin's gone !! You reckon duff injectors may be it eh?

Oh dear sounds like u still have a bit of jappy in you
I think I miss my old 'JapCrap' motor, knowing it would start when I wanted it to, and knowing if it took me somewhere it would actually take me home again! Don't want to get rid of this though, I do like it when it works. Have changed the cap/arm, coil, plugs, leads but it runs crap. Cleaned the stepper motor. It didn't run right but now it won't even start, although did cheat yesterday and got some easy start on the job and it eventually came to life. Going to take it to AAD in Doncaster who specialise in TVR and see what they say. The car has done 70k but has been serviced every 6k so thought it should be fine.
Think I'll put a hold on getting the dash changed until it runs like it should.

I'd go with Slideways - Had rough running myself. Particularly a lump around 2k - did all the usuals - Cap, Arm, Boots, Leads and plugs. No good. Dumped 2 cans of injector clean in and sorted it right out.
I'd say injectors are prone to blocking or possibly failing.
