Where to get a Geo Setup Done?

SCA RaceRally in Norwich are meant to be good. www.sca-racerally.co.uk
I've had 4-wheel alignment done there and know a couple of people who have track-day cars set-up by them.

Hi Andrew, your old Griff is alive and well-polished in the hands of fellow PHer Bacardi, often to be seen at PH Roadshow events. I was the chap who played the role of 'expert' 
If you'd like to join us next year please let me know

Blimey I hadn't realised that my old Griff was still local. Hopefully it now has a few more miles on it than when I owned it as it was a bit of a garage queen
Still I've made up for it now as my Cerbera has 56k miles on its original engine and still going strong (crossed fingers). I'd like to bring the Cerbie to a local event just as soon as I finish the bodywork 
Hi Andrew
I've managed to put a few more miles on it. Although, at the moment, it's currently being garage queen again owing to blowing the 40a fuse that controls the fans with such a force that one of the pins has welded itself in the socket.... which I can't get out. Just got off the phone from Scole and the guys are going to fit some dual relay/delay malarkey which, apparently, is a permanent fix.
Other than that, the car has been great and remains cosmetically unchanged. See you at a meet someday.

Forgive me for being thick but why is this good? I would hope for 100k+ out of the oil burner at least.

Its a long story but in brief. The 4.2 AJP Cerbera in 1996 was TVRs 1st attempt at their own engine, the first cars produced and hence their owners then became the test mules for this engine. Porous and snapped cranks were not unheard of, cams were extremely aggressive and noisey (hence clatter cams) but later reprofiled cams wore too quick (chocolate cams), clutches lose their fingers at the drop of a hat and master and slave cylinders have the fluid retaining properties of a colander. Starter motors suffer from heat due to positioning. The oil pressure relief springs were too weak and are considered almost a consumable. The list is extensive. Obviously not all faults will kill an engine and indeed many of them can be rectified with a DIY attitiude or a good dealer.
There are contrasting views within the Cerbera community. Some believe that the very early cars (mine is the 26th off the production line) have been more reliable as they were put together more carefully. Others believe the later ones had the benefit of hindsight and have more faults fixed. I'm neutral. I belive there are as many good early ones as later ones. Pop into the Cerbera forum and you'll see that 56k on an original engine is pretty good although one PH member is at 120k and still going strong. Hope this helps.
