It seems to have been a blue theme for the last couple of days…
Back to it after a brilliant weekend and our first call yesterday morning in Stourbridge, where it was great to see Simon again for the cambelt service on his very tidy TF 135 Spark (in JFV). Date booked in for next years service and brakes. Thanks for the brew Simon, have a great summer.
We then headed a few miles over to see Gary again in Longbridge, for a few bits on his TF. But, we couldn’t get an answer, at the door or on the phone, and are a little concerned, especially given these strange times, as the car was in the drive looking a little forlorn, when we last saw it 3 years ago it was really nice condition. I won’t post a photo for privacy reasons or give anymore info, but just on the hopes that if anyone knows of anything within the community, could you please send Jon or I a personal message.
A very local one for us this morning in Hull, where it was good to meet Mike for work on his also very tidy TF 135 (in JFV). Mike had suspected the head gasket had gone again, and on pressure test it was leaking from the front of the block with evidence of coolant all around it.
Head gasket replacement carried out, water pump, cambelt, tensioner and alternator belt all replaced, as there was no service history of the car, and he had owned the car for 5 years.
From there we headed up to Beeford, where it was lovely to see Bob and Elisabeth again for the minor service on their, also very good looking, TF 135 (in JGY). A nice catch-up about holidays and adventures, with a very nice cuppa too. Dates booked in for the service next year and for underfloor treatment in January at the workshop.
Monday was spent, amongst other things, with Jon mainly working on the van, the exhaust manifold finally arrived after some searching, bit of a grim job, but all part of the essential maintenance to keep the trusty steed going!
A very welcome change in the weather so far this week. ☀️ – https://ift.tt/DkCAmY0
