Days 9 & 10 – Banbury, Worcester & Pershore…
We drove up from our digs yesterday morning to arrive in Banbury for work on Gary’s ‘04 TF 135 in paint code MBB.
Having recently bought the car earlier in the year it came with no service history. So Gary got on with carrying out the minor service and replacing the underfloor pipes and he asked if we could come over to do the cambelt service. Plus we replaced the gearbox oil and flushed through the brake fluid.
Really great to meet him, and his colleague, and have a chat before we went on our way. We were only staying fairly local last night in Wroxton.
This morning we headed further north to our first call of the day in Worcester, where it was really lovely to see Tim for work on his LE 500 in paint code 106 and number 494/500.
Tim had noticed that the wishbones were starting to look a bit flaky and a small hole had appeared in one of them. So these were replaced for him, without any drama of snapping off subframe bolts we were very pleased about! Minor service also carried out for him.
Great to have a chat while we worked, and thanks to Tim for the supply of beverages and biscuits. Hope to see him at a show or an event some time in the coming weeks.
From there we headed over to Pershore, where it was great to meet Richard for work on his ‘99 MGF 1.8 mpi. Richard had noticed oil leaks from both of the drive shaft oil seals. So these were duly removed and replaced with new ones for him.
We’re now heading back home, after 10 nights away and a total of 964 miles, looking forward to seeing the cat. It’s been a successful trip, great to see some old faces and to meet some new ones too. Plus the added benefit of mostly decent weather. ⛅️ – https://ift.tt/nKXY0zl
