A couple of very productive, albeit it very cold, days at the workshop.
Stephen’s ‘00 MGF in Nightfire red (CAQ) was back with us from Selby for undersealing. We’d seen the car last summer for service and MoT.
Car all fully rust-treated and fully protected underneath now and pleased to have it ready for his son, Simon, to collect. Shame we didn’t get to see them both this time.
Chris had driven over from Wirral to leave his ‘04 TF 115 with us for some further work.
The car had failed its MoT on a couple of things and the cambelt service was also due.
Full cambelt service carried out, unfortunately the engine mount bolts both decided to put up a fight, which resulted in them both shearing off. We keep replacement mounts on stock in the event of this happening, so old one removed and replaced.
The offside wishbone had corroded so this was replaced. Initially it was thought that the handbrake cable was at fault, but turns out it was the nearside caliper, so this was replaced. Unfortunately, one of the subframe mount bolts sheared off, so this was retapped and then the car was taken round for its MoT. All now sorted and ready for Chris to collect tomorrow, when we look forward to seeing him again, it’s been a few years since we last caught up with him.
One cancellation which meant we had an easier day today, just as well as we’ve a busy weekend ahead with collections, drop-offs and a couple of small jobs over the two days.
Hope everyone has a great weekend and keeps wrapped up warm and safe during this cold snap 🥶 – https://ift.tt/gSnb5VD
