A day on the road today to round off the week…
Conisborough, was our first call, to source and sort an oil leak on Mark’s TF 115 (in MBB) that had been noticed by Mark when storing the car. It was found to be coming from the drive shaft on the offside, so this was removed and a new seal fitted. There wasn’t any further leakage on running the car on axle stands afterwards so hopefully this will have cured the issue. Great to see Mark as always, we found out that as of this morning he is now a published author, so I shall be buying his book, which sounds a very interesting read.
From there we went over to Bracebridge, as it was cambelt service time again on Lorraine and John’s Trophy (in FAR of course). Cambelts, water pump, tensioner and all other service parts replaced. Hydragas topped up as she was looking slightly wonky on one corner. To be kept an eye on, and may need further investigation. But at least she’s all good and ready for the summer. Great to see them both.
We didn’t make it to our last call, in Spilsby as planned, absolutely not like us and never done before! But, we had a genuine reason… we’ve both got Covid! 😮💨 I was first to succumb and started to feel awful on Sunday, so I had 2 days off, then Jon felt bad on Wednesday so he had a day off. Fortunately, we were in the workshop most of that time and bumbled on, quite successfully it turns out!
We messaged everyone this morning to make sure we were still ok come over. But, when it got to 5 o’clock and we still had a bit of a trek and another two calls to do we had to call it a day and head home. It had taken its toll again, absolutely drained 🥺 Sorry Denis and David, thanks for your understanding, we will be back soon!
Have a great weekend everyone, looks like there are quite a few events taking place so hope you all have fun wherever you may be. 🗺 – https://ift.tt/M1X85jv
