š“ó §ó ¢ó ³ó £ó “ó æ Scotland – Day 2
Up early this morning and departed our digs in Auchencrow early this morning, missing out on their very good breakfast unfortunately, and headed over to Chryston, near Glasgow, where it was nice to see Ross again for some work on his TF 135 (in JFM), that we last saw a couple of years ago for cambelt service.
Ross had noticed a very slight coolant loss, so we carried out all of our usual checks and finally traced it to be coming from the spring clip on the underneath of the expansion bottle, that had lost its springiness, this was duly replaced with a new jubilee. Fortunately, for him it wasnāt the proverbial!
Minor service carried out. The EML had been coming on intermittently, however it had turned itself off by the time we got there. On code reading it came up misfire causing increased emissions. Coil packs inspected and plugs were changed anyway, as part of the service and all seemed good, although to note he has been using E10 fuel.
The passenger window wasnāt working, this was found to be down to a dodgy switch, this was replaced with another one that Ross had already bought, quite handily.
Gerry had been in touch asking if we could give his MGF (in JBH) a pump up when next in the area. The plan was for him to come over to us, but he got held up in traffic, as the Edinburgh bypass was closed in both directions, so we ended up going back over to him and met him at Gyle shopping centre. Car pumped up to factory spec.
As we were passing, we stopped in for much needed cups of tea at the Kelpies. š« āļø Always great to see these two beautiful beasts.
Weāre now in our new digs for the next couple of nights, ahead of our visit to Daisy Bank in the morning. – https://ift.tt/h9ljdEb
