A couple of cars dropped off at the workshop over the weekend, so we were back there and then back on the road for some local ones over the last couple of days.
Paul came over from Barmby-on-the Marsh to leave his Abingdon 1.8 mpi with us for the annual minor service. Although covered in some road much the cars still looking fab. A general check over and all ready for collection.
Jack came over from Leeds to leave his MGF 1.8 mpi in Wedgewood with us for a few things; heater control valve, minor service, new clocks supplied and fitted, handbrake adjusted and the hood he asked us to look at as it wasn’t closing properly turned out to be due to two of the hood control arm bolts having sheared off. So these were drilled and tapped out and new bolts fitted, resulting in a fully functioning hood! MOT carried out and she’s all good to go again, looking fab still since we did the head gasket last year.
Big restock and empty of all the recycling required with the van following our Scotland trip so we’re all good to go again.
This morning found us on our first call of the day in Barton-on-Humber where it was great to see Pete again and his TF 160 (in LEF) was due the cambelt service again. All belts, water pump, tensioner, all filters and plugs replaced. Plus an upgrade to the rear brakes with one of Will Naylor’s conversion kits.
Our next stop was in Rossington where it was lovely to finally meet Jane and her hubby for minor service on their very nice looking MGF 1.8 mpi (in CAQ). We’d met them very briefly whilst on another job a few years ago and since then frustratingly had been unable to fit them in. We look forward to seeing them again next year, date duly booked in!
The final call of the day was over to Howden to check out a ‘strange noise’ that Simon had heard on his wife’s fab TF 135 and had asked if we could come by when we had a minute to check it out plus check out a bit of a wet boot interior. Strange noise was due to the wear indicators on the rear brakes and the wetness due to the gaskets on the rear light clusters being old and not doing their job anymore, so will need replacing to cure that problem.
A very welcome change in the weather over the last few days too. – https://ift.tt/cAFhY14
