Malton, North Yorkshire.
Adam had got in touch back in February regarding a 2003 TF 1.6 (in paint code JFV) that he’d bought a couple of months previously, which according to him was in a bit of a sorry state, so he set about giving it a new lease of life, having some welding done to the sills etc. He asked if we could go over and do the cambelt service and had thought that possibly the clutch was on its way out.
Cambelt, water pump, tensioner, alternator belt and new expansion tank cap all replaced.
Fortunately, for him, the clutch itself was still good, but the slave cylinder was probably the original and had certainly done it’s time. This was duly replaced and the clutch release arm freed off and all the old manky clutch fluid flushed through.
Couple of other things sorted, missing bolts replaced, plus greasing up the front upper control arms. He’s got himself a real bargain, and pleased to see that he’s invested in the car and will have some fun over the summer.
Really good to meet Adam and have a chat, whose been the owner of a few other MGs in the past. Plus a bit of an earlier finish than expected. Just as well as we’ve got a crazy few days ahead at the workshop! – https://ift.tt/sJzifnp
