Bit of a longer run this morning, down to Cleobury Mortimer, near Kidderminster for work on Tony’s fab Lotus Elise S1.
When we were there last he asked if we could do a preemptive head gasket replacement at some stage. The cambelt service was also now due. The car had originally been living in Perth when Tony bought it. He’s planning on a tour of Scotland with his son in August and just wanted peace of mind that all was sorted.
It was on its original elastomer gasket with plastic dowels. Head gasket replaced and cambelt, water pump and tensioner replaced, new alternator belt and set of platinum spark plugs. So she’s all good to go.
Really nice seeing Tony again who kept us fortified with a plentiful supply of tea.
We then pootled on over to Bromsgrove as Chris had got in touch saying something was occurring with his fab and well travelled MGF 75th Anniversary.
No error codes showed up, but on investigation it was found that it had very low fuel pressure, which points towards the fuel pump being on its way out. Replacement pump to be sourced and fitted. Lovely to see Chris and have a quick catch-up before we headed back north. On a very busy M1 now and time to do some admin and keep Jon supplied with chocolate at regular intervals 😄 – https://ift.tt/GUxRryq
