A day out of the workshop today with a run down to Bromsgrove, where it was great to see Keith again for work on his two fab cars.
Head gasket replacement carried out on his MGF 1.8 in Volcano Pearlescent (EAC). Keith had also noticed an intermittent problem with a misfire/loss of power. We found this to be down to a piece that had broken off the distributor cap, and a worn out rotar arm. Would you believe we used our last one of these items two days ago, (having been sat on the shelf for ages), typical. A call to the local euro car parts who luckily had one of each on the shelf. Car back up and running lovely again.
In the time we last saw the car, Keith had treated it to a Mike Satur 4-2-1 manifold and Daytona back box with the oval tips, looks and sounds very nice.
His TF 135 was suffering from a sticky throttle, so we went armed with a replacement pedal, which was duly fitted and all found to be good again.
What an enjoyable day with great company. Big thanks to Keith and his wife for their hospitality, many cuppas, food and the biggest chocolate eclair ever! Not to mention lovely fusses with Pippy and Buster. – https://ift.tt/363HZbI
