well i've had the car for a couple of months now and
done what you all said, careful in the wet, take it easy in the dry, go through as many tunnels as you can. Got the chance at the weekend to press the loud pedal a bit further than normal, jeeeeezus.
Create weather? I think i might have changed it.

Welcome to our world...

Glad to hear you're enjoying the motor. I've had 4 other TVR's (2 Griffs and 2 Tuscans) but nothing has made me smile as much as my Cerbera 4.5.


Keep grinning and keep it shiney side up

All the best

Hey guys, just joined cerby club from griff club but three days in and the car has gone kapoot! it feels as if it is not running on all cylinders, as soon as you depress the throttle it dies. i've had to take it to the guy who looked after the griff as the nearest tvr garage is 80 miles away. can anyone help, it was only serviced by tvr power 500 miles ago!

Mine did a similar thing. Only under load. It seemed like only one bank was firing. Turned out to by the coil.
Don't know if this will be the same.

Sorry to hear that Curtis.

Have you called TVR Power? I know they are not local to you, but they obviously know the car
and I am sure Dom would point you in the right direction.

Good luck.

Curtis - I've spoken to TVR Power for you... They've said that it really can't be anything too serious, as they'd have picked it up when they spent a solid two days going over it! They also said that they can't make any kind of diagnosis on it without seeing it.

Something electrical could've got shaken out of place when you spun it - there's a fair few forces acting on the car then. Especially if you clipped a kerb or anything.

Welcome aboard gentlemen!...hope you have enjoyed Cerbera ownership so far...but be warned...the silly grin becomes a permanent 'disability' after a while...and you know when that has begun because everyone asks if your on drugs or drunk!...
