Common Problems: TVR CERBERA
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- AJP8 Engine Tappet Adjustment(Serious)
The Speed Eight engine requires regular, specialist tappet adjustments. If ignored, it can lead to valve damage.
- Chassis Rot (Main Rails & Outriggers)(Serious)
Like the Chimaera, the Cerbera chassis is prone to rust, but access is even more restricted, making inspection difficult.
- Electrical Gremlins & Wiring Loom(Moderate)
Hand-built wiring harnesses vary car to car, leading to inconsistent electrical reliability. Central locking, door solenoids, immobilisers, lights and cooling fans are all prone to moisture-related failures.
- Cooling System Overheating(Serious)
The cooling system is a known weak point. Faulty fan switching relays, inefficient radiator airflow and coolant leaks can cause overheating in traffic. Water pump and radiator seal failures are common even on well-maintained cars.
