When I left the UK 3 years ago I parked my Chimaera in the Midlands and thought I would only be away a short time. Despite turning it over 6 months later and everything being hunky dory, I have not been in the Midlands since and get the feeling that it might need a little more work.

Can anyone recommend a good place which can do the following:
Pick my car up (It can´t be driven as it´s SORN)
recommission it - full service needed
New rubber for 4 corners (needed doing before I left)
Probably new pads
Sort out a nagging issue with overheating (think it could be rad related
check the chasis etc and do any work needed

On a positive note, I had just replaced the rear screen and hood, but I plan to return to the UK and a recommendation would be most welcome.
Cheers


Edited to add, I´m from the Midlands, but lived in the South for 15 years, so don´t know a good garage and would like the work done before I return to the UK

How about adrian at Exactly TVR ?

Based in Coventry and best known for his work (and knowledge) on older TVR's but believe he's turned his hand to a "modern" one once or twice wink

Yes, I have heard only good things about Adrian,
I was recommended by another S2 owner (Gerald/ Norman) but his knowledge is good for most if not all TVRs.

Central TVR in Stourbridge will come and pick up your car on their transporter and do all the work mentioned.

David Gerald in Redditch could be worth a call but I personally can't comment on his work, only make the suggestion as I know a few people who have used him and have been pleased with the results.
