Day 4 of 5 – Tour of Lake District & a couple of other places…
Cockermouth…
Another short commute this morning from our amazing digs in Embleton along to a farm just outside of Cockermouth where it was great to meet Don for work on his ‘99 MGF steppy (paint code HFH) that he’d bought about 18 months ago, and had been spending time getting the car up to spec.
This morning we replaced the brake lines on both the rears with copper, plus we replaced all four brake flexi-hoses with braided ones. The plan was to replace the front to back brake line too, but this had already been done we found on inspection.
The door striker was worn out so a new one that Don had bought was replaced, this decided to put up a bit of a fight as the lower bolt had seized and rounded off, so grinder duly deployed!
Good to meet Don in such a beautiful location and have a chat, thanks to him for the brews and biscuits, and the kind offers of breakfast and lunch, but we didn’t realise breakfast was included at our digs, plus the valued provision of a barn should the weather be inclement once more.
After a run through very picturesque countryside, we’re now settled in our last digs of the trip, where we’ve stayed many times before, in Gretna, ahead of our call in the morning… – https://ift.tt/ikuZI20
