A good run down from South Wales this morning and we have spent the day in Weston-super-Mare…
Joao had got in touch a couple of months ago to see if we would be in the area anytime soon, as he suspected the head gasket had gone on his MGF 1.8 mpi (in JRJ) with thanks to Andy P for the recommendation.
As soon as we spotted it, we knew what was possibly at fault. A dodgy cap! We carried out all our usual checks and happily for Joao this is all it was down to. While we were there he asked if we could carry out the minor service as nothing had been done on the car for quite a while. This was done, plus two new pressure tested caps supplied. All error codes cleared and a chat with Joao about other things to be aware of. Good to meet him and he was really grateful that that’s all it was.
We then went over to the local euro car parts to get stocked back up on a few things. Spotted this lovely looking MGF next door. Then we went on to the sea front for a cuppa. I made the most of having an afternoon free and had a good yomp round to Sand Point and up to the rocky outcrop. Really fab views over to South Wales, good weather too.
Bit of a change in the plans today, as we were supposed to be seeing Mark Ford this morning in Bristol, for work on his ZR and MGF, but sadly for him he has had to sell them. We still keep in touch and wish him all the very best. We could have made other bookings in his place, but out of respect we didn’t feel right doing that.
We’ve got a lovely hotel for the night, with a proper sea view, shame we’re not staying longer! It’s another early night ahead of our next leg of the trip in the morning. 🌊☀️ – http://www.facebook.com/pages/p/1295587220479237
