Back to it today with a job in Stoke-on-Trent after enjoying a few fab, none work, days away in London.
Mark had spotted us a couple of times on his travels, as a long-distance lorry driver. When we pulled into the A66 café, back in December he called us over for a chat about his TF 115, that was needing a bit of work.
Mark had bought the car really cheap and as a what he described as a barn find. After enjoying a few trips out in it, the head gasket went. Plus the car had no service history and after being stood for some time he thought that the clutch had also gone.
So we got him booked in for a couple of days work. After unearthing the car from underneath a bush this morning we set about getting her sorted. All bolts etc came undone with no bother at all. A few were missing or wrong so these were replaced. Head gasket replaced and cambelt service carried out. The clutch itself was absolutely fine, it was just down to the clutch release arm being a bit stiff, due to being stood and a very worn out clevis pin.
What a joy to work on and all up and running lovely now. Mark will now get the MOT done and give her a bit of a clean up, before enjoying the trips he has planned throughout the summer months.
Baking hot day, but we had the shade of a tree, which was welcome. 🌳 – https://ift.tt/2wtuox1
