Back home now after 10 brilliant days in the north of the British Isles, with a mix of work and the odd day off to take in various locations…
We left our very interesting digs in Alnwick this morning and headed to High Felling, where it was lovely to see Rachael and Tony again, to see what was occurring with Katy, their fab looking TF 160, that had decided she didn’t want to start when being taken for the MOT a few weeks ago. Even after being looked at by their recovery company it still wouldn’t start. But, this morning with the threat of being ripped to pieces and investigated she miraculously started up with the first turn of the key! Checked all codes and investigated the immobiliser and all seemed to be fine. In case of any further problems we read the EKA code from the immobiliser unit and left them with it as a back-up should anything else occur. This code disables the immobiliser unit.
Thank you, so much Rachael and Tony for the new George, whose wearing the best t-shirt too! Plus all the treats. Great to see you both.
We then went on to Kelloe, County Durham, where it was great to meet Nick, who had got in touch a few weeks ago regarding an issue with his fairly new acquisition of a MGF 143 VVC. After trying a new cap he was still experiencing overheating with the car when on a run.
On pressure test, today, we found that the jubilee clip on the hose from the block was very lose and subsequently losing coolant. All other clips checked and tightened up and all now good. Minor service carried out while we were there and a couple of other niggles sorted.
Managed to dodge the worst of the weather and get home in daylight.
We set off last Monday with a few things in the north east, a stop over in Beadnell, then Glasgow and Pitlochry on Tuesday, Port Augustus on Wednesday with a boat trip on Loch Ness, which was fab (didn’t find Nessie though!), then headed up to Halkirk. Back to Pitlochry on Monday and then Alnwick on Tuesday.
Really great trip, with brilliant people and places. Good to be back home and to be greeted by our very happy and vocal Binx puss. 🐈⬛ – https://ift.tt/363HZbI
