A round trip to Norfolk today…
We returned the steppy we had in for drive plate replacement to Jon in Trimingham.
After fitting the new drive plate supplied by Jon from Brown & Gammons, we fired up the car and noticed the noises described before were still evident. After a while they quietened off. After test driving they virtually disappeared. We warned Jon that there was other issues going on, that weren’t drive plate related. It turns out that gearbox itself wasn’t in the best of health. The gearbox dif has collapsed locking it to unequal drive on both wheels. The next step for us and unfortunately for Jon is to replace with a new gear box.
As we were local we also went over to see Hugh in Swanton Abbott, whose MGF 143 VVC had overheated, so we replaced the thermostat, then after all tests car up and running nicely again. Posted today to the
