Back on the road today after our couple of weeks in the workshop, with our first call in Chapel Allerton for work on Alaric’s recent acquisition, after his last car that we worked on some time ago was written off by a chap on his way to buy some lemons.
Today we replaced the head gasket and carried out the cambelt service on his Rover Tourer 75 1.8 turbo in Odyssey Blue. The car had previously had the head gasket replaced with a Mk II elastomer.
Alaric was concerned that the head may have been warped and would need replacing, but after a clean up was found to be good to go, which he was really pleased to hear.
Nice to see him again and have a chat whilst we worked.
From there we went over to Harrogate where it was lovely to see Pat and Diane again, and of course have fusses with their gorgeous dog Bertie.
Minor service time for their fab looking TF 1.6. Plus a couple of niggles needed sorting.
Good to have a catch-up, complete with a cracking brew, homemade cakes and biscuits. Thank you, both, they were really good. 🍰
Admin almost caught up on and nearly home now. A long, tough day, but good all the same! – https://ift.tt/jDUJ7dP
