Redruth, Cornwall …

One of the two cars booked in for today was Sharon’s tidy TF 1.6 that she had bought during lockdown. Great to meet Sharon and Ivor who had noticed slightly milky oil and a loss of coolant, so suspected the proverbial and had therefore got in touch to see if we could come over and sort on our next trip to the area.

All gaskets replaced, with no issues and car back up and running nice and smooth again, to their delight.

What a lovely morning meeting them and their pooches Lamorna and Demelza (good Cornish names) complete with Cornish cream tea too, delicious! Thank you both, so thoughtful.

Our first call didn’t really happen as unfortunately Tim had got his dates mixed up and the car was in the spray shop! Not a problem though, good to meet him and have a chat, as the car, a TF 160 that he bought last year came with very little service history. Turns out that he wants to have subframe replacement anyway, as well as cambelt service, preemptive head gasket replacement and a few other bits. So a date has been booked in for all this to be carried out at the workshop at the end of January.

Bit of an improvement in the weather today. An early finish so I got out on a 6 miler and yes Jon fed the ducks, who were very vocal when he saw him with a nice seedy loaf in hand! 🦆 – https://ift.tt/FXBd8a3
