Spalding for suspected HGF
Spalding this morning for suspected head gasket on a TF135 and great to meet Bruce & Tracey. Bruce had taken the car to a local garage who had diagnosed head gasket failure, so we pressure tested the system and cap. Cap was found to be faulty, no other symptoms whatsoever, no signs of internal or external leaks. So it was decided just to carry on with the cambelt service. The mis-fire and rough idle that the garage had failed to cure was down to Lambda sensor bank 1. New Lambda fitted.
Clutch had also been diagnosed as faulty, but turned out that it just needed bleeding properly after they had fitted the slave cylinder.
A lovely car and glad that we’ve managed to relieve Bruce’s frustrations! Thank you both for making us so welcome with all the snacks and many cuppas, really appreciated.
• We just wanted to say that given the current situation we are still operating as normal. We will continue to monitor all the news updates and react to the advice given as necessary.
• If anyone wishes to leave their keys with the vehicle, the work can be done and payment made by bank transfer, thereby minimising contact.
Best wishes to all. Jon & Claire.
