Week commencing 3rd July – last day of tour to the West of the country.
Day 6 – Nelson & Colne…
We left our fab digs in Copster Green this morning and headed over to Nelson for work on Darren’s TF 160 in paint code IAB.
Cambelt service carried out, plus we noticed that the return hoses had no return to the expansion tank, so these were cleared out and car ran up to temperature. So she’s all good to go ready for the MOT and a run out to Pateley Bridge in a few weeks time.
It was really great to see Darren, Tracy and their fab gang and have time for a chat and a long overdue catch-up.
We then headed over to Colne to check a few things out on Neil’s fairly new acquisition of a TF 160, just to make sure the engine bay fan was working as it should and to trace a mysterious minor coolant loss. All our usual checks done and system bled. He’d noticed that after a run the engine bay was extremely hot, having owned a couple of MGs in the past, hadn’t really noticed this before. The exhaust manifold heat-shield was missing, so this was replaced with one we had with us. (very nice interior, pic below).
Good to meet Neil and Barbara and have a chat before heading back home.
Lovely evening with Maggy & Phil last night, made a really good change having time to sit down and enjoy a meal together. Another successful trip away, we packed in as much as time would allow, and met some really great people and their fab cars. – https://ift.tt/p4VQzg0
