Day 2 of 5 – Tour of Lake District & a couple of other places…
Dalton-in-Furness…
A very short commute this morning from our fab digs, only a couple of miles along the road where it was good to see Adrian again and his MGF 1.8 (paint code LQW).
This time was to replace the clutch, as it was getting more and more awkward and juddering quite a bit. Full clutch fitted, plus the slave-cylinder had blown, so this was replaced, along with the uprated clutch-release arm with the grease nipple. A real pleasure to do, with no awkward bolts!
Adrian had noticed that the temperature gauge had risen slightly a couple of times, whilst we were underneath the car we noticed that the union on one of the heater pipes was leaking as the spring clip had lost its springiness, so a couple of new jubilee clips fitted to both of the hoses for good measure, this would have accounted for the temperature gauge rising, on pressure testing the system we couldn’t see any further leaks. So the cars all good to go for him once more with a nice light, smooth clutch pedal.
Thankfully the weather was a lot warmer than our last visit, when it was around -10!
We now find ourselves in our next digs of the trip in Seascale, with another beautiful coastline, although there is a bit of a sea fret going on. – https://ift.tt/zaX62V8
