Glasgow to Gateshead…
Day 6 of 7 – Latest Tour North.
A departure from our digs, in Irvine, this morning to head over to Glenn’s and Susan’s in Glasgow. Not for work on their car this time, but for their friend Aldo, who had just recently purchased a TF 135 in paint code CBT, from just near Birmingham, having given it the once over they found a few things to be sorted.
Having a slight change in our schedule we were pleased to be able to fit him in.
Minor service carried out, alternator belt replaced, as the one on it was squealing a tad. The underfloor coolant pipes were well past it so these were replaced with stainless. New expansion tank fitted, as the one on it was pretty grim and there was no chance of seeing the coolant level. Then, lastly, the brakes were bled through.
Date arranged at the workshop next year to carry out full underfloor treatment. Glenn and Susan will come down in their TF too for the same and make a trip of it, which is great.
Really good to see everyone today and great to meet Aldo. Big thanks to Susan and Glenn for their fab hospitality, complete with a supply of Tunnock’s!
A good run this afternoon, as we started on our journey south, bye for now Scotland, you’ve been lovely as always. We now find ourselves in our last digs of this trip, in Gateshead, ready for tomorrow’s activities… – https://ift.tt/F6E7hyf
