Day 2 of 5 – West of the country…
Steeton, just outside of Keighley, for work on Ross’s 2003 Rover 75 1.8 turbo, in White Gold, with only 30k on the clock, that he’d bought from a chap in Carnforth, who had owned it from new, but is now unable to drive it sadly, and didn’t want it going for scrap, so Ross promised he’d get it fully serviced and sorted. His friends have affectionately named it ‘Werther’, which we think suits it.
Anyway, after driving it about for few days he’d noticed that there were a couple of tell-tale signs that the head gasket was on its way out.
So today we carried out head gasket replacement and cambelt service, along with alternator belt and new plugs. Really nice sounding smooth engine, glad it’s all done and having a new lease of life, for Ross to enjoy. The car had obviously been well maintained and looked after.
Great to meet Ross properly today and have a good natter while we worked. Plus we had some fab weather thrown in too again.
We’re now in our digs for the night just outside of Dalton-in-Furness, where we’ve stayed before. Lots of admin to get through so no chance to get to the beach, but I was up at the crack of dawn for a good yomp up the hills in Keighley first thing this morning. – https://ift.tt/TRLEhlN
