Back up in a very Bonny Scotland and we headed over to Kippen this morning to see Des and Gail’s TF 115 ‘Bumblebee’.

When we had visited last, the cylinder head was trashed, with 14 valves bent, so we took the head away to be refurbished, but it was cheaper and more economical to replace the head. The damage was caused by the tensioner giving way and literally cutting the cambelt in two, length ways! The alternator belt was definitely past it’s best too.

New head fitted with all gaskets, cambelt, water pump, tensioner, alternator belt and new spark plugs.

Multiple codes cleared once it was fired up, and happy to say that Bumblebee is all sorted and running nicely again. Hope Des and Gail have a great time in her when they travel to and around Stornaway in June.

We traveled up yesterday, with a call in to Darlington on the way to see Terry and Craig, to fit the rear control arm to the ‘Chairman’ that we didn’t have with us on our last visit. Really pleased to get them sorted and to hear from Terry today that the retest MOT is a pass. Happy travels to them both for their runs out over the coming months.

We made the most of our surroundings this afternoon and took in a visit to the Falkirk wheel (last time we went it was closed for maintenance) and another visit to the Kelpies (last time we went it was tipping it down). We also had a walk around the Helix, all absolutely fantastic places and well worth a visit. – https://ift.tt/LH38ylv
