A short commute to Tuffley, near Gloucester this morning…
Brian had bought this fab 1998 MGF 120 mpi (in JRJ), a couple of years ago and had enjoyed some great runs out in her so far. The cambelt service was due and he also wanted a preemptive head gasket replacement done, just for peace of mind, at the same time, so he put the car on SORN until our visit.
Today we replaced all the gaskets, the cambelt, water pump, tensioner and alternator belt. What a pleasure to work on, and a very quiet smooth engine on startup. So he’s all set now for the summer months.
Really good to meet Brian and have a chat, he’s got an interesting fleet of vehicles, including this Rover 100, that’s absolutely lovely! So nice to have doggy cuddles with Bailey his gorgeous Labradoodle. Thanks for the cuppas Brian.
We then went over to Cheltenham where it was good to see Steve again for annual service on his TF 135 (in MBB), who had asked if we could come over when we were next in the area. A chat about things he’d like sorting on the next visit. Thanks for the brew Steve.
Great weather today, considering the forecast wasn’t too good.
Bit of a storm last night, but an amazing sunset and clouds following it, with great views from the top floor of our amazing digs. Last night here and then we head over to Oxford in the morning. – https://ift.tt/SwXJBLc
