Day 3 of 5 – Tour of Lake District & a couple of other places…
Whitehaven…
A very wet and windy one in Whitehaven today for another clutch by the coast, where it was great to meet Mark, who had got in touch earlier in the year for some advice regarding some problems with the clutch that he’d been experiencing on his ‘03 TF 160 (paint code IAC) that he’d owned, at that time, for 12 months. He set about freeing off the clutch-release arm as we advised, but was still having issues and just wanted the clutch replacing anyway for peace of mind knowing that it was done.
Full clutch fitted today along with a new slave-cylinder. The release-arm had seized up a little again, so this was freed off too for him, resulting in a very smooth easy pedal on this lovely looking Sunspot, which did put up a bit of a fight, resulting in a couple of mashed digits for us both!
Pleased to have the car all sorted for Mark, with huge thanks to him for his lovely hospitality, on a bit of a bleak day, with tons of warming mugs of tea, snacks and even sausage and chips for lunch!
Having spotted the marina from the hill we were working on we headed down there, when we we’d finished, to hunt out the requisite fridge magnet. What a really lovely and interesting spot. If you follow up from the top of the seagulls head in the pic to just about the top of the hill that’s where we were working.
Now in some more really fab digs, in Embleton for the night and time to get the admin caught up on. – https://ift.tt/NnSBExP
