Wisbech was our first destination this morning where it was great to meet David for work on his Lotus Elise S2 120.
The cambelt service was due, so he asked if we could come over and carry this out for him. Cambelt, water pump, tensioner and alternator belt all replaced. Plus he’d bought a new expansion tank for it, as the old one was a bit murky, so we swapped this out for him.
Car now all sorted ready for some fun over the summer months, and a date to be arranged for later on at the workshop for a Kmaps tweak and fitting of 135 cams.
Good to meet David and his beautiful dog Boobles, didn’t get a pic unfortunately, but what a gentle sole she is.
Did get some pics of his fab car, I always say it, yes it’s a dream of mine to have one. Haha dream on! Oh and Jon wants one too!
Emma had got in touch a few days ago asking if, there was any chance, we could help her with her MGF 1.8 mpi (in CMU) that didn’t want to start from getting it out of winter storage. As we were going to be nearby and all went to plan in the morning we could get over to see her in Gosberton.
Due to being stood for so long, as it didn’t get much use last year, the alternator had seized, taking out the belt too. It was lucky that it didn’t wrap around the crank pulley and cause some serious damage! Unfortunately, the alternator couldn’t be freed off so a new one fitted. We had gone armed with a voltage regulator pack, hoping that this would sort the issue and be slightly less costly for her.
Good to see Emma again, and glad that we got her mobile once more so she can get it over for the MOT that she’d set out to do when things went a bit pear-shaped!
The trusty steed of our van had a milestone moment this morning as we drove on to the Humber Bridge… half a million miles!! That’s 500,000 miles of fixing MGs and the rest! 🤩 – https://ift.tt/DwenlxZ
