North East – Day 1 of 3 – Felling & Blyth…
Our first call this morning found us back in Felling where it was lovely to see Rachael & Tony as always for work on their ‘04 TF 160 in Nightfire Red, affectionately known as Katy.
Tony had sourced a stainless Toyo exhaust-manifold and a Daytona back-box, along with a set of quad tail-pipes. So we duly fitted these for them, unfortunately the Lambda sensor stripped its threads coming out the flexi, so flexi retapped and a new Lambda sensor fitted.
Katy now has a very smart rear, and sounds great. They couldn’t be persuaded to have any pops and burbles added though!
Big thanks to Rachael for her fabulous, as always, hospitality. We bid our farewells and headed on up to Blyth.
Tony wasn’t in this time as he had to work. He’d reported a misfire on his TF 115, so we set about with code reading to see what was occurring. It came up with P301 and P300 and misfire causing emissions. First check was to look at the spark plugs, one of which in cylinder was found to be cracked. All four plugs replaced, codes cleared and on firing up all found to be good again. Pleased to have this sorted for Tony without incurring any major expense for him.
Making the most of the last of the daylight and some very welcome good weather I had a super walk from Blyth to Whitley Bay. We’re now in some really fab digs, near Holywell with lots of horses and woofers as neighbours! – https://ift.tt/Pe4LprE
