Well that was a successful day in Wigan today. Rescheduled from Wednesday as the weather was totally horrendous, we got to work on brothers David and Peter’s MGs.
First up was David’s MGF 1.8 mpi (in HFF) for head gasket replacement and full cambelt service, along with replacement of the clutch-slave cylinder.
Next up was full cambelt service on Peter’s 2004 TF 160 (in HFF) that he bought from us four years, that time flew by!
Great to see them both, as always, and have a good natter while we worked. David kept up a constant stream of cuppas and had got in special pies for our lunches, which was very kind.
Plus the sun shone all day, so we were pleased we’d made the right decision as it would have been a tad miserable in the wet and wind.
We were at the workshop yesterday, where we met Jon and his son, who had driven down from Redcar in their 2004 TF 135 80th Anniversary, for replacement of an intermittent starter motor, we found also that the battery had a hole in its side and its cold cranking amps were down to just over a hundred. So we replaced the battery too and she’s good to go. Date to be booked in for the service, check over and MOT next year ahead of their European tour in the car next year, where they will end up in Austria, very nice too, sounds a great trip. Great to see them both and the weather was good for a top down drive both ways.
Van all stocked up with the necessary kit for our trip away, next week, taking in the west of the country. – https://ift.tt/yfYGe19
