Day 5 & 6 of tour – South West & South Wales…

Porthcawl and Gorseinon on Wednesday, Cardiff today, Thursday…

It was lovely to finally meet Paul and Diane, in Porthcawl, yesterday morning. Their TF 135 (in paint code JHG) was one of the last ones built, bought in the fire-sale period after the closure of MG.

Underfloor coolant pipes replaced with stainless, brake fluid changed, new spark plugs and a general check-over. Good to have a chat with Paul before we headed off.

From there we went over to Gorseinon where it was good to see Matt again and his ‘03 TF 160 (paint code JFV). Matt had been trying to chase down an oil leak, and asked if we could have a look next time we were in the area.

This was traced to be the seal on the exhaust cam that was the culprit. New one fitted and no more leaks. Alternator replaced for him, as well as fitting the correct bolts as the ones in it were too short. Nice to have a chat and cuppa with Matt before heading back to our digs in Pyle.

At least we managed to dodge the worst of storm Agnes! A very bracing walk in the early evening for me, along through the country park and the coast line on Sker beach, some huge waves and dramatic skies, what a stunning bit of the country.

Our last day, today found us in Cardiff, where it was lovely, as always, to see Ian and Hilary, for work on Verity’s steppy, that was in need of the minor service and an alternator belt change.

Another successful tour, with so many warm welcomes, great locations and fab MGs. Almost home now and a call into the workshop to unload a few things, ahead of setting off to the North East in the morning, for a wedding at the weekend, the only work we will be doing is pumping up Kevin’s Trophy, that is to be used as part of the ceremony. – https://ift.tt/t3rdQDN
