A short hop over the Humber bridge this morning to Croxton, where it was lovely to meet Jason & Fiona, having recently purchased what they thought was going to be a get us through a gap in vehicles car, they have really fallen for it, and now want to make sure everything is sorted, with not having very much service history.
A TF 115 (in LEF) that originally lived in Wrexham. It had been fitted with MGF seats and door cards that really suit the car.
Today we replaced the cambelt, water pump, tensioner, alternator belt, alternator shied, spark plugs, all filters and an oil change.
Date to be arranged for further work at the workshop for underfloor pipes, front wishbone and full underfloor treatment.
Really nice morning, thanks for all the cuppas and cake! Not to mention fusses with gorgeous Minnie. (Didn’t get a pic sadly).
We then went over to the workshop where it was good to meet Andrew and to investigate what was occurring with his Caterham. Andrew had been experiencing a couple of issues with it, following it having been stood for a while, particularly on start up and on acceleration.
We swapped over the rotar arm, the HT leads and the spark plugs, the plugs that were in it weren’t platinum ones and were also quite loosely fitted and a bit corroded. Two of the leads weren’t fitting tightly enough on top of the plugs. Once all these were replaced the car started up without any issues and all hesitation when revving had disappeared.
What a fab car, resisted the urge to ask if we could take it for a spin!! 😃
Date to be arranged for it’s cambelt service later in the year.
Bit of a change around day, as Richard was supposed to be at the workshop with his TF, but he was away on holiday and had forgotten! We’ll get him squeezed in somewhere next week. But at least we got to get over to see Jason, with thanks to Xander for recommending us to them. At least they can have peace of mind and have some fun over the summer. 😀☀️ – https://ift.tt/ZHaWuS6
