Stockport & Macclesfield today…
An early and a soggy start to the day to head over for first call in Stockport, where it was great to meet John for work on his ‘01 MGF 1.8 mpi in Old English White.
Head gasket replaced and the cambelt service carried out, along with a hydragas pump up and this fab looking car, named Frank, in memory of John’s father, is now back on the road and ready to go for its MOT.
Thanks to John for all the cuppas, and despite deploying the gazebo the weather did improve quite a bit.
From there we went over to Rainow, near Macclesfield, where it was good to see Richard again having reported an issue with his ‘04 TF 135 80th Anniversary.
Although the car wasn’t over-heating, when the car was sat ticking over, after driving, the fans would come on but wouldn’t go off, and the car couldn’t cool itself down.
On investigation and running our diagnostics we tracked this down to be the PRT not opening fully. So we replaced this with a new 83 degree PRT and ran the car back up temperature again, subsequently the fans came on and off as they should do and also the temperature dropped as it should. Happily all now sorted for Richard.
We’re now heading back home on the M62, following an extremely slow crawl along an always stacked out M60, despite that an enjoyable and successful day. – https://ift.tt/O1sZSXz
