And here we are, it’s Friday again, that was a busy old week and I’ve not had chance to write any updates of what we’ve been up to!
Monday morning found us in Walsall for the head gasket replacement on Peter’s TF 1.8. It was pretty gunked up and took a bit of clearing out, but it’s now back up and running as it should be.
A very damp Tuesday morning took us over to Billingborough, near Sleaford for work on a couple of TF 160s, one belonging to Alex and the other to his friend Giles.
Minor service carried out on Giles’s 160, along with replacement of the Lambda sensor. Cambelt service carried out on Alex’s 160 along with a couple of other bits.
Great to meet Alex and his lovely woofer Lola, and nice to meet Giles briefly when he popped over after work.
The following day, Wednesday, we were back down in the area, this time to carry out a couple of things on Emma’s MGF, in Gosberton. Lovely to see her again and have a chat before heading a short distance along the road to see Rodge and his LE 500, that had recently thrown up an error code of P0610. Himself and his good friend Dave had recently changed the starter motor, but had inadvertently mixed up the cables. This was duly located and sorted by Jon. Hopefully it hadn’t caused any lasting damage to the starter motor itself, but if it has, they now know where to plug the cables back in! Great to see them both as always, and to have chats with Bobby dog. Big thanks to Rodge for the huge bag of cakes and buns! Needless to say was Jon all sorted and content for the evening.
Yesterday morning, Thursday, we were in Belton, near Doncaster, where it was lovely to see Pete and Sue again, to carry out a full cambelt service on their TF Spark. Great to meet their Puggle ‘Ollie’ too!
We should have been doing a head gasket and cambelt service in the afternoon, in Wombwell, but this was cancelled earlier in the week as the owner had got rid of the car. So an earlier than expected finish I took the opportunity to walk back home over the Humber bridge.
That takes us to this morning, and we had a couple of very local calls.
The first call was a couple of miles up the road to Swanland, where it was good to meet Peter and his TF 135. Short cambelt service carried out for him, with only a couple of awkward bolts, we’re pleased to have the servicing up to date for him. Plus it was lovely to meet his very cute pup called Toby.
From Swanland we headed only a few miles along the road to Cottingham to carry out the minor service on Justin’s LE 500 (number 60). We didn’t see Justin this time, but thanks to his son for the cuppa.
Our last call of the day and last one of this week was just a short distance along the road, to check out a couple of niggles that Melvyn was experiencing with his fairly new acquisition of a TF 160. List made of niggles to sort and a date to be booked in to return.
Busy week, not to mention a very cold one! Thanks to everyone for some fabulous hospitality in keeping us fed and watered all week, it’s so much appreciated. Have a great weekend everyone wherever you may be, wrap up warm! 🥶 – https://ift.tt/Ylje0Hm
