Day 3 & 4 – North East – 9th & 10th May…
So we had an even shorter commute this morning, down the lift and into the car park of the hotel!
Our first visitor was Steve who came over from Wallsend in his 2005 TF 135 for the cambelt service, shortly followed by Michael in his 2005 TF 135, for the cambelt service too. Both cars behaved very well and we got them all sorted in no time at all, great to have a catch-up and a chat to them while we worked. Thanks to them for the Maccy Ds cuppas!
Our next visitor in the afternoon was Alan who came over from Cramlington for the cambelt service on his LE 500. Great to see him again too and have a chat while worked and thanks to him for the Maccy Ds cuppas.
Thanks to the Marriott hotel for understanding and letting make use of their car park.
Fab weather all day too. I had time later in the afternoon for a walk along the Tyne and visit old haunts.
The recovery company had us booked for a pickup between 8:00 and 12:00, and the lovely lad who came was there at 8 o’clock on the dot. He dropped us off at the workshop around lunchtime. Unfortunately, the power steering pipe on the donor van was broken too, so the plan to replace it this afternoon didn’t happen, a new one is now on its way from China.
So contents will be transferred over to the other van tomorrow, while we’re working at the workshop, ready for us to head back up north on Sunday morning and get things finished off on Susan’s car etcetera and then over to Bishop Auckland on Monday morning. Phew! 😵💫 – https://ift.tt/nWpiyVT
