Wednesday morning found us in Royston for the head gasket replacement on Andy’s ‘05 TF 160, it absolutely tipped it down all morning, but the gazebo kept us mostly dry, all done and after a chat with Andy we headed over to Thrapston to undertake a hydragas pump up on Lee’s Trophy, we didn’t see Lee this time as he’d been called in to work.
A stay over in Ramsey for the night, in some really nice digs. It was there whilst I was doing the admin that we were alerted to the unfortunate comments on Facebook, we just want to say a big thank you to everyone for your amazing support and taking the time to add messages on both our page and group post about it, it really does mean a lot. Wow, thank you, so very humbling.
From our digs on Thursday morning we headed up to Turves, to undertake head gasket replacement on Matt’s ‘04 TF 115. Fortunately the rain had stopped, but by heck it was a windy one and cold. Good to get Matt back up and running again.
This morning, Friday, found us in Grantham for the first call of the day, where it was lovely to meet Phil and Tini for work on their W reg MGF mpi ‘Reg’, in HFF, that they’ve owned for 18 months, having previously owned a TF and fancied trying out an F.
Full cambelt service carried out, fitment of a new CAT and new gear cable ends and gators. Thanks to them both for the cuppas and Phil’s delicious homemade cake.
We then headed back up country, to Bilsthorpe, where it was nice to see Ray and Jan again, and of course Ollie dog and Rosie the cat!
Cambelt service carried out this time, on their MGF 143 VVC, with no issues, so the car is all set for the summer months. Thanks to them both for their lovely hospitality.
A bit of a slow crawl home now this evening. At least we’re only at the workshop tomorrow getting the work done on Susan’s TF and awaiting our visitors from the north east, Rachael and Tony, see you in the morning you two, safe travels! – https://ift.tt/4qiaZ2B
