Westfield VVC

An interesting day and a bit of a different one working on a Westfield in New Malden, SW London. This fab car is fitted with the VVC 143 engine. The head gasket had gone, so we replaced this and also carried out the cambelt service as these were due to be changed, plus water pump and tensioner and a couple of other bits.

Unfortunately, we never got to hear it running properly due to an ignition barrel fault.

Despite the hideous, getting rather tedious, weather it was a good day and really lovely to meet James, lots of chats and welcome warming cuppas.

Thank you for the fill up of our travel mugs for our journey home James, we look forward to the video of the car when the ignition is repaired.

One more motorway to go and we’ll be home, good run back.
