S1 2.8 Heads & Gearbox
Discussion
Morning all,
Not been on here for a while.. TVR hasn't been driven for a few months so thinking of giving it a bit of TLC with unleaded heads & refurbed gearbox.
Can anyone recommend any good garages in Notts for this kind of work? I've got a few places to get quotes from but if anyone has had the same work done elsewhere that would be helpful.
Many thanks,
Adrian

Adrian the other option might be Jools at track car solutions at chesterfield, though no idea if he does work on the ford V6 2.8
To be honest you'll probably find you'll get years out of your existing cylinder heads - there is residual lead on the valve seats which lasts for quite a few thousand miles - if you're not using it much it will last yonks.
Do the heads definately not have hardened valve seats?
Gearbox I don't know - I've driven past a gearbox place near the Nottingham City Transport depot - its been there for years - but no idea if they are any good. I'll try to figure out more if you want.
The person I would also ask is Steve Westwood at Wilford Lane Autocentre - I've used them in the past before I had a company car and they were always very helpful for various things.
I'm still interested in a peek at your S if you're about sometime.
