My V8S has recently developed missfire and tickover problems - regretably beyond my limited capabilities to fix.

Can anyone recommend a garage offering an engine diagnostic/repair service within easy reach of Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk?.

Thanks in anticipation of any assistance. Cheers.... Chris

Scole Engineering in Diss are highly recommended and very experienced in TVR's - many TVRCC members take car's there.

Hello Chris,

Sorry to hear you're having problems. If they're engine-related and there's no TVR specialist nearby, you may do just as well with a Range Rover specialist. Mansfield 4x4 in Bury St Edmunds or Glencoyne Engineering in Thetford for example. They're not recommendations - I haven't used them - just a couple of fairly local possibilities.

Good luck,
Graham

Hi Chris

We seem to be in a similar boat, I bought mine in August last year, had lots of fun, but also had a few issues, the latest is a miss fire when cold, GreenV8S on here, suggested the coolant temperature sensor might be at fault.

Please let me know how you get on, as you never know, I may have the same fault as you.

Im going to change the coolant temperature sensor, spark plugs, plug leads dizzy etc. If that fixes it I will let you know.

Good luck

Andy

Thanks for the feedback chaps.

The car is now booked in for remedial work and I'll keep you posted on the outcome.

Cheers ...... Chris
