It was supposed to be a weekend off, but needs must when things are a tad on the busy side…
We went over to Green Hammerton, near York yesterday morning to see what was occurring with Jamie’s TF Steptronic, that he had to have recovered home, as it had decided to lose a load of coolant and then subsequently not start again. He told us, in a good spirited way, that his uncle who owns and runs a garage, had politely declined to work on the car for him.
On pressure test, it was found that the hose from the head to the heater pipes had a rather large split. The expansion tank cap was also faulty. Hose replaced and new cap fitted. Fortunately, for him though, it wasn’t the proverbial as he had suspected.
But, the none starting issue, after our investigations, with fuses and relays etc, was found to be the fuel pump having packed up. A quick message to Jason at MG & Alpha Spares and one is being shipped out to us to be fitted next week. We don’t keep these on stock as they can dry out and be of no use if kept in storage for a long period of time. Good to meet Jamie and have a brew too, we will be back!
The car we had in from Filey was returned today, good to see Linda and have her reunited with her TF 135, after its bit of surgery with us. A nip over to the car park near the Brigg for a cuppa and a bacon sandwich before heading back to the workshop to get the other cars fitted in there that were dropped off today ahead of the work on them next week.
Jason and Fiona dropped off their TF from Ulceby and Kevin came over with his TF from Selby.
Think we need an even bigger workshop!! 😳 – https://ift.tt/H5gauPq
