Not as busy a couple of days at the workshop as expected, but we weren’t exactly twiddling our thumbs…!
Andrew brought over his 2001 MGF mpi, in LQW, from Goole first thing Monday morning and left it with us for a check over of the issue with the engine management light being on, plus an MOT. On code reading, found that the forward Lambda sensor was faulty, and the CAT that was on it was well below efficiency, I’ll be polite and not say what Jon said. 🫢 Correct CAT duly fitted, plus a new Bosch Lambda sensor. Everything else checked over, prior to the MOT, and then sent round for the test. It was lovely to meet him and have a chat.
Justin came over, from Cottingham, in his LE 500, that was also due its MOT. The rear brake pads and discs required replacing. He’d certainly had his moneys worth out of them. Good to see him again.
It was really good to meet Andrew and his wife, who had driven over from Harrogate in their 2001 MGF 1.8 mpi in CMU, which was in need of a hydragas lift. Good to have a chat with them before they headed off to enjoy the rest of the day. We look forward to seeing them again in a couple of months for some further work.
Simon came over from Dromfield yesterday to drop off his ‘04 TF 135, in MBB with us. So today we carried out a minor service, replaced the underfloor coolant pipes, carried out a health check and then sent it over for its MOT. Great to meet him today and have a chat with him. He’d bought the car from Matthewsons last year and is looking forward to having some fun out in her this summer. Date booked in for the cambelt service, undersealing and MOT next March.
Sunday morning found us at the workshop to meet John who had come over from Stockport to collect his ZR 160 track car and trailer that we’d been storing for him since we carried out the work on it. Wishing John a good season ahead!
Unfortunately, the other one we had squeezed in for a minor service was on Paul’s new acquisition of a 2000 1.8 VVC MGF, which had then developed head gasket failure, plus he had since found that the cambelt service was also due, what a shame he couldn’t get it over to us in the end. We’re trying to find a date to get out to him.
The other one we had booked in for our two-day underfloor treatment, unfortunately had to cancel last minute, due to a having a minor prang in his other car, so needed the MG to get to work.
A good few days, with some really lovely people in their fab MGs!
Van all stocked up with supplies and kit for the next few days away for the remainder of the week, with the first stop in Mansfield in the morning.
I enjoyed a long walk home one evening and met this rather cute pony on the way, and thought he deserved a mention. – https://ift.tt/A2GUz8I
