rear end slop.
When i corner in mine hard'ish it turns in and its fine.. then as i push the back seems to slop or move, almost like it going onto the sidewalls, it then regains all composure and carries on.. Its almost like it takes a mo to settle in the corner.
Anyone know what this is?? and right tyres and right pressures and fully lazer aligned. and the rear links all seem fine.

It's just the S. Mine does this two almost, like it slips or pauses and has a think then gets going again. Obvious things are the tyre pressures, but just a characteristic.

IMHO Sounds like the LSD getting to grips (like the pun?) with the change in traction and power. Obviously more noticeable of you are corner as you are "leaning" on one tyre more!?

I get the same sensation, reckon it's partly the tire loading up and producing a squidging effect. Could be the slip angle. (but I have no mechanical knowledge whatsoever, not a scooby,none).
Whatever it is I don't think it is someting wrong with your car and like others have said a charchter of the S, which I think is a great sensation when you get used to it as you can really play with it.

I assume we're talking about higher cornering speeds and the car's passive rear wheel steering?
It is about using the throttle to adjust the line of the car through the corner.
Passive rear wheel steering??

I'm not sure either what Nick means by passive rear wheel steering, but I do agree with his comment about balancing the car on the throttle.
Having owned a Chimaera, in which throttle control through corners was essential, I had to learn to "balance" the car using both steering and throttle inputs. The S handles very differently from the TVR, but the principle is the same. It just takes some practice to get it right.
I too thought there was something going on at the rear during my first outings when the car almost bunny hopped round corners (particularly noticeable when haring round roundabouts) but I reckon I've nearly got it taped now and with better throttle control, the car near enough corners on rails.
