Sunday at the workshop…
We had a couple of cars dropped off with us while we were away so wanted to get cracking on these today.
Jane’s MGF 1.8 mpi was still emitting an awful screach, despite changing the alternator belt twice. So it could only come down to one thing, that the bearings in the alternator itself had finally given up the ghost. We ordered a couple in while we were away. This was duly fitted today and all things nice and quiet again. Car ready for Jane and Lee to come over from Rossington and collect.
The other car was Andy’s TF 160. We’d replaced the head gasket last month at Andy’s place in Royston, but the car was still having an issue with coolant levels. He subsequently brought the car up to us when visiting family in the area and we carried out an oil-cooler bypass. Following a run around the area and then back home it was still having some issues. So he dropped it back with us to sort.
It’s quite probable that due to
The blockage in the oil-cooler it has caused the head gasket to blow again. So we replaced the head gasket once more, so hopefully this has now resolved all the issues with the car. Hope so as Andy’s coming up to collect it ahead of the coming weekend, when he will be going on the MG North Yorkshire groups annual weekend away. We’ll do a further road test on Tuesday anyway.
Van unloaded of all the stuff from our recent trip to the South West and then restocked ready for our visit to Harrogate and Wilberfoss tomorrow.
Back home now and I’ve an absolute ton of admin to get through. Then we’ll watch the highlights from the Spanish Grand Prix. Hope everyone has had a great weekend, where possible, enjoying the fabulous weather. 🌞 – https://ift.tt/2jhrUS3
