Hi all,
I'm just after a bit of advice.
Not so long back I purchased my 1st TVR. An S3C from a Non Franchised TVR "Specialist" dealer, based in the south Midlands area.
They were extremeley generous and gave me 1 months warranty with my new car. Said car developed a blow on the exhaust within the warranty period. I duly phoned up and booked an appointment for them to inspect and possibly rectify the problem.
Upon inspection it was dicscovered that one of the Cats had a split in the seam.
It was decided that the cat would need removing and the seam could then be welded to rectify the problem, this would take approx 3 hours to complete.
A date convieniant to both parties was agreed.
The car was duly left with "Specialist" dealer and I returned some 2 hours later to see how they were progressing.
The mechanic was still inspecting the exhaust as he hadn't spotted the split in the cat. I duly pointed out where the problem was and he decided to weld in situ.
I retired to the showroom to kill some time.
A short time later I was informed my vehicle was ready.
Much to my disbelief the exhaust still sounded blowy!
I duly returned and took one of the partners for a test drive to re-identify my concern.
Unfourtuanately he appeared to be hard of hearing as to qoute: "It sounds like any other S to me"
Having spoken to a number of people regarding the welding of the cat I am now led to believe it is now serving no useful purpose. A: Because its been welded. & B: It's still blowing.
Any suggestions before I make another call to the dealer?
