Month: July 2022

Collection day today, really great to see Mike and Suzanne who came up from Ratby to pick up Ruby, their TF 160 (in CAQ).

Originally, the car was booked in for underfloor treatment, but when Mike had the car through an MOT it was found to have a few fails. So we picked her up and brought her back to the workshop for some TLC…

– Both front wishbones replaced.
– The over the gearbox support was replaced as his had a bit of a hole in it.
– Rear brake pipes replaced.
– Welding to both rear sills.
– Full underfloor treatment done.
– Then finally the MOT done for him.

Really good to get her all sorted for them.

Lovely to see you both today and have a quick catch-up. Hope you enjoyed your lunch at Anna’s Happy Pig! 😃

Unfortunately, Andy was unable to make it today to collect his MGF as arrived late back last night from working away. So she will wait in the workshop until he can travel up from Solihull. – https://ift.tt/jYL5Ob4

What a perfect way to round off the week…

We have just arrived home from a very lovely evening meal with Adrian in Market Weighton, at The Bay Horse.

I picked him from Goole station this afternoon, as he had travelled up from Leigh-on-Sea to collect ‘Pearl’, his really fantastic looking and very well travelled TF 160 Anniversary, with lots of stories and adventures to tell.

Work commenced on Monday with replacing the internal heater pipes, plus the heater control valve, while we were in there. Then on Tuesday full clutch replacement carried out, together with a new release arm. Upgraded alternator bracket fitted. Full underfloor treatment carried out.

On running up to temperature we found that the ECU coolant temperature sensor was faulty, so a new one was fitted. Couple of other little niggles looked at and sorted.

What a pleasure to work on, even the clutch release arm came out freely, which is usually a bit of a task in itself.

Work all completed on Mike’s MGF 143. Initially booked in for underfloor treatment, the car had a bit of a list of MOT fails, so we got our heads down and cracked on ready for the collection this weekend. MOT carried out this afternoon. Didn’t get chance to take any pics as it was a tad inclement. Will do tomorrow morning hopefully.

Busy and productive week. Great cars, great people.

We look forward to collecting Adrian from his digs in the morning, ahead of his drive back home. – https://ift.tt/NbxXi4d
