Day 5 of 6 – South Coast & some other places too…
After departing from our digs in Fleet, this morning, we headed a bit further north to Farnham.
Robert had got in touch with us as his 1996 MGF 1.8 mpi (in paint code HAM) had been given an advisory at the last MOT, on both headlights, the tester thought they were actually at the edge of a fail.
So today we replaced them with two new units, given the astonishing price that they are they don’t even come with any bulbs! Ride height set to the correct height too, as they were finding it slightly uncomfortable. Hopefully this will improve it and they’ll be able to see where they’re going again, not that they ever use the car in the evening, not the point I know, but at least it does make this already tidy car look a lot more tidy, and it will be comfier too.
Very nice to see Robert again and have a brief chat before we were on our way again.
Next stop was in Aspley Guise, Liz and Phil had got back in touch as Liz’s 2001 MGF 120 mpi (paint code COF) had sprung a bit of a leak.
On pressure testing we found the culprit, so this was replaced with new hoses from our stock on the van. Well Jon did all the work as I was temporarily incapacitated by my annoying recurring inner ear prob and could barely stand up. 😵💫 Bit frustrating as I’d left my meds at home as not needed them for yonks. Liz directed us to a local pharmacy for a get-me-by.
It was really lovely to see them both again, (sorry both I was not my usual self), and pleased that it was a relatively simple fix and not some other underlying issue on their fab looking MGF.
We’re in our last digs of this trip, near Bletchley, for the night, before heading further north in the morning for our last call. Can’t believe it’s Saturday again, getting a bit late now and just realised Strictly Comes Dancing is on the telly! Got to go. Have a great weekend everyone near and far. – https://ift.tt/igkXpLf
