Only a few miles down the road to Swanton Abbott and great to meet Hugh. He had a bought a MGF 143 VVC to do up, so asked us if we could come and do a few things to get her sound, and then for him to get the bodywork sorted etc. We were able to fit him in as Haydn’s gasket had gone whilst he was up in the north east, so the slot became available, shame not to meet Haydn, glad he got sorted, but Hugh was extremely grateful.
There was no history with the car at all, so we replaced the head gasket and carried out a cambelt replacement, water pump and tensioner, alternator belt replaced, plus hydragas top up. Fab morning meeting his gang of beautiful Greyhounds!
From there we went to Shropham, Attleborough, great to see Stuart again.
His TF160 had been having some coolant loss, we found it to be the internal heater control valve, so this was replaced.
His LE500 was having a couple of minor noise issues. We had advised Stuart prior to our visit about the idler pulley, which he replaced. Minor hydraulic lifter noise, so we added a can of Wynn’s hydraulic lifter cleaner, this cured that one. Minor noise still appears to be coming from the air con compressor. Hopefully due to the fact it hasn’t been used for some time the compressor noise should subside.
Date to be booked in in January for underseal trestment, plus other snags to be sorted.
Fab weather all day, not looking the best for tomorrow! – https://ift.tt/363HZbI
