Back to Craigie, near Kilmarnock, a year after we carried out the head gasket and cambelt service on Jon & Fiona’s TF 160 ‘Spark’ (in CEV), when they asked us to return to carry out the minor service today.
Plugs and all filters and oil replaced. They asked if we could also fit a new expansion tank, and sort a couple of other niggles. We noticed that the exhaust hanger had snapped, which would have resulted in a melted bumper, so we welded on a replacement hanger we had on the van.
Lovely to see Fiona again this morning, shame not to see Jon. It was lovely to see their very friendly cat Leo again, who was very keen to get involved. We look forward to our return visit next year.
From there we headed over to Glasgow to see Robert’s TF 135 ‘Spark’ to swap out the water pump for him. Didn’t see Robert though as he’s still on his month long trip to Crete, not at all jealous of that. 😆 His mum came over to make sure we were supplied with drinks etc, which was much appreciated.
Making the most of an early finish and the welcome sunshine we went over to Irvine beach for icecreams and a walk, well I had the walk, to Troon and back, it’s such a beautiful coast line with views over to Arran in the distance. – https://ift.tt/1tMsjid
