A very tidy, low mileage MGF 143 VVC in Desford, Leicester this morning…
Great to meet John who had got in touch, back in January, asking if we could come and work on his car. He has owned for the last couple of years, but recently had noticed oil in the coolant.
Head gasket replacement done and cambelt service carried out. A Mk II elastomer gasket had previously been fitted with plastic dowels.
All sorted ready for John to enjoy some days out when the weather improves again.
From there we went headed north and went over to Sprotbough. Steve and Marie had got in touch as ‘Ellie’ had decided to spring a leak. As suspected, from Steve’s description of where the drip was coming from, it was the spring clip on the PRT that had lost its spring. This was duly replaced and on subsequent pressure test no more leaks.
Another enjoyable day with fab people and cars, despite the very chilly conditions. We drove back through quite a few bad squalls on the way back. The old bus was rocking about a bit! 💨
