Day 3 & 4 – Newton Abbott & Penzance…
We left our digs just near Burnham on Sea and headed over to Newton Abbott, where it was lovely to meet Alan and his wife Sharon for work on their LE 500 in paint code 110.
Cambelt, water pump, tensioner and other service items all replaced. Alan had noticed a very slight coolant loss, which only seemed to occur the day after a long run. We searched all over and carried out all of our usual checks and couldn’t find anything specific, apart from some staining below the water pump when it was removed. Let’s see if that’s cured it, Alan will report back.
Very nice interior of this car, that I didn’t get a very good photo of unfortunately.
Good to have a chat and a cuppa whilst we worked. We look forward to seeing them again next year!
From there we headed over to just near Buckfastleigh where we found ourselves at our next set of digs right next to Buckfast Abbey, what an incredible place, so much history, and set in a stunning location. We had a look into the Abbey in the evening and were lucky to have the place to ourselves to listen to the guest organist, for the coming weekends’ recitals, rehearsing.
Today was a ‘travel day’ and we now find ourselves in our next set of digs for the next few nights a mile or so out of Penzance. Had a stop-off for a walk round the harbour, couldn’t see any pirates though! 🏴☠️ – https://ift.tt/NUkPyY2
