At least you haven't got a TVR watch that suddenly decided to lose 20 minutes in the space of an hour!!

True, but I know someone who bought TVR and it lost £20m in the space of a year!

My mate bought 4 tvr valve caps at the factory and by the time he made it to the factory exit - 2 had been stolen by local scrotes..

Still - I think they looked Pink and a bit gay and not purple anyway

Common problem, probably an early version of the Al Keyring designed model - were you adding them straight onto a cold ring, how many keys did you try to add? Should be no more than 3 keys for the first 20 mins or so and then you can slowly build up once everything is up to temperature. Insist on a goodwill warranty rebuild and make sure you are given a coutesy ring whilst yours is away.

Make sure if spinning the keys round your finger, keep it under 40rpm for the first few minutes until you start to get mild friction burn, then you can up the revs.
