Just received a printout of a rolling road remap on my Chimaera 500 with the canam ecu upgrade from Lloyd Specialist Developments (which they fitted in 2013) showing 299.32 Ibft and 258.36 HP at the wheels (they did not have the Dynapac rolling road when it was originally mapped ) Looking forward to picking it up on Friday 
Thank you for that Alun
You had me enthralled with your French adventure brave man
very entertaining reading This is my 3,rd TVR the first one being a ,65 Griffith 400 289 HIPO (wish I still had that one
back in the 70,s )and a ,97 Chimaera 400HC a few years ago, but this one is in a different league

Nothing showing up on the diagnostics,so after seeking advice from local garage who have experience of working on TVR,s they thought the problem was fuel related.
After fitting new fuel p/p, regulator and filter the problem is still there. So decided to take elsewhere to where the Canams system was fitted to fault find and have a rolling road map where it was found to have a dodgy fuel p/p connection and bad wiring was pleased that the fault was found but it has not cured the fault, as it has cost nearly 1500 pounds so far I am becoming very frustrated and my bank account does not like it lol
Has anybody had a similar problem as I understand curing an intermittent fault can be expensive and frustrating

Thanks for the replies. After only having the car since the beginning of June paying 25,000 thinking you get what you pay for, so go for the best has not worked out.
I am having to fall back on my ,65 289 Mustang for my trip up to the Morgan factory ,old tech 15 mpg 600 rpm idle which sounds great,,but has never missed a beat in the 4 years of ownership and when weighing up the cost,s on spent so far on trying to sort out the problem on the TVR and still not sorted what is so good about engine management system,s
I have had a couple of P6 3500 Rover,s running on Carb,s no problem,s until Lucas got invovled with the SDI say no more..Sorry about the rant but needed a few beer,s and to vent because after spending nearly 1500 pound,s and still being in the same state that I was in originally I am fed up

Thank you for that information Mark . Will be getting in touch this morning,as soon as they open because the problem is getting worse the car is very untrustworthy. Had a nightmare journey home to Dover (6 hours} from them on Friday with the car misbehaving and car park motorways lol
Took the car to Lloyds this morning Nathan connected a laptop to the ECU and off we went for a drive to try and replicate the problem and the car would not co-operate
upon returning wiring was checked and a loose wire connection on the main feed to the ECU it was so loose it parted company the moment he checked for security
Wire was soldered back as were all the others on the ECU had a good trip home hope this is the end of this saga
