Day 3 of 3 – NORFOLK
An early departure from our digs this morning in Gillingham and we headed down to East Bergholt, not too from Colchester.
Paula had got in touch to see when we could take care of her fleet of three MGs. We’d last seen her four years ago for work on a couple of them, but she’d managed to find a local chap to take on their care, sadly though he’s had to take retirement.
This morning we carried out a full cambelt service on her 2006 TF 135 (paint code PBT), alternator belt replaced plus a new cover as hers was missing. This is Paula’s daily car so that’s got her back up to date with the service.
Lovely to see Paula again and have a chat. Plus have fusses with her gorgeous woofers Olive and Pickle! (Didn’t get a pic). We look forward to returning next spring for further work on the other two. Thankfully, we had a barn to work in as the weather was a bit wet and miserable this morning.
From there we headed up to Hartest, near Bury St Emdonds, to check out the hydragas on a Rover Metro 1.1. The owner felt that it had become a little rigid, so we set it to the correct ride-height and then checked the spheres, which did have a decent amount of bounce. Sylvia will see how it goes from there and let us know.
So we’re now heading home. This trip was originally planned a few weeks ago and should have been a bit longer, but we managed to shoehorn in as much as possible. We ended up with these three days free, due to a postponement at the workshop, which has worked out well all round, and thanks to everyone for their understanding. – https://ift.tt/YwRaUkv
