Month: July 2020

We left our amazing accommodation this morning in Broomhill, bidding farewell to Kevin, on our last day of the Northumberland trip, to go on to Jarrow.

Great to see George again who needed some welding done to his TF160. A couple of holes done on either sill. We had fitted a soft ride kit when there previously, but albeit the suspension was sorted it was riding too high for him, so we fitted a set of lowering springs. Date organised to fit new carpets and seats. Thanks for the cuppas George. The skate park is really looking fab, lots of hard work paying off!

We just want to say a huge thank you to Kevin for your fantastic hospitality, and your kind offer of giving us a base to work from, in order to get to everyone in the north east where normally we would have had to rely upon hotel/B&B accommodation.

A short trip along the road and great to meet Chris in Howden this morning who asked us to do the head gasket on his TF 135. It was quite a messy one with thick gunge throughout the plenum, air hose etc. Chris’s dad had taken all the t-bar off and roof so we put all this back together for him. All back up and running nicely again.

Full cambelt service carried out on Bob’s lovely MGF 120 mpi this morning in Sunderland. Hydragas pump up. Plus standard air box fitted as Bob wasn’t keen on the rather random after-market air filter that had been on the car when he took it on. Bit of a soggy morning, but good to see you again Bob and thanks for the cuppas.

We then went to see Lorna near Durham who was sadly having to give up her beloved TF160. We had done the head gasket on the car 3 years ago and she asked if we would take the car on to preserve and take care of.

Lovely to see you again Lorna, thank you for the welcome tea and chat, we will keep in touch and keep you posted on the next phase of her life. She’s now tucked up with some good company.
