Day 5 of 5 – Tour of Lake District & a couple of other places…

Annan, Scotland…

Another short commute along from our fab digs, in Gretna, this morning to Annan where it was lovely to meet April for work on her ‘05 Rover 25 in xpower grey.

A bit of a frosty one this morning, but the sun was out and blue skies so we didn’t get too cold while we replaced the head gasket, and all other gaskets, plus carried out the cambelt service, power steering pump belt and alternator belt replaced. All nuts and bolts behaved and we’re pleased to have Aprils daily back up and running again for her, thanks to her for the welcome warming mugs of tea.

Thanks to her partner James for putting her in touch with us, who we saw a few years ago for head gasket replacement on his TF, he had at the time, in Castle Douglas. She had been quoted an eye watering amount at a local garage just to have the head gasket replaced, who also recommended adding the dreaded k-seal! So, all in all a good call by James.

Back home in good time this afternoon, to round off what has been a successful week, meeting some lovely people and their fab MGs, in many interesting locations.

Back at the workshop in the morning to get cracking on a couple of cars that have been left with us, both requiring a bit of an investigation. – https://ift.tt/ikuZI20
