Day 4 of 10 (11) – South West – Swansea & Pontarddulais…
A very short commute this morning, in Swansea, from our digs over to Geoff’s house for work on his 2002 TF 135, in paint code LEF, with a very low mileage and not a great deal of service history.
We carried out a preemptive head gasket replacement, along with the cambelt service. The car is in really good order and Geoff wanted peace of mind that everything mechanically was sorted on it. Thanks to Geoff for the cuppas and the grateful provision of a garage, as the weather was pretty dismal today.
From there we headed over to Pontarddulais, to check out a couple of things on Mike’s MGF that we’ve been to see a couple of times over the years. He was experiencing a problem with emissions, on P-scan this was traced to be due to be three possible things; the ECU coolant temperature sensor that had an error code, the lambda sensor although giving a reading and being fine for the first ten minutes, when tested was coming back as not okay, the car also had what also looked like a cheap after market CAT.
Mike and his wife Carol had recently taken ownership of a very tidy looking BRM, that they’ve been having some fun in on auto-road trials. Shame we missed Mike today, but lovely to see Carol again, we look forward to seeing them again in the spring next year, when we return for the cambelt services on both cars.
Back to our digs, no fun-fair today as the weather continues to be truly dismal. Come on summer, where are you? – https://ift.tt/k5RJhns
