Back out on the road today, it was a tad windy in Wakefield and not so sunny in Sheffield…
Great to see Tom again, whom we last saw a number of years ago with his previous MG. He bought himself this TF 160 (in JFV) in the summer, of which he uses as his daily runner. Full cambelt service carried out for him today.
Then we headed a few miles along the road where it was lovely to meet Steve who between him and his son had bought this ‘98 MGF 1.8 mpi (in MNX) to have some fun with over the summer months. What an absolute gem they have found themselves, with one previous owner and with still a low mileage and all in the original spec. The car was sitting quite low so Steve had asked if we could pump up the hydragas.
From there we on to Sheffield, where it was great to see Tony again whose MGF 1.8 mpi (in JRJ) was having an issue with rough running. Tony had replaced the plugs and the cat as this was found to have collapsed. On investigation and code reading it was found to be the rotar arm and distributor cap that both had minor corrosion. As we didn’t have these on stock we cleaned these up and reset the throttle body plus the stepper motor, which has resolved the issue. Although Tony is going to get hold of some new ones and replace them for good measure.
Some cracking cars today and great people, not too far from home. – https://ift.tt/GRNQDvT
