As good progress had been made on the stepspeed and the welding on TF 135 was complete we went on a relatively short trip down to Clarborough near Retford this morning, where it was lovely to meet Mike.
Mike had previously owned from new back in the day a MGF, but unfortunately it had been written off after only 5 months, and ever since then he wanted to find a, near as possible replacement, and he found himself this one a few months ago. So we were asked us to come and carry out a full cambelt service. Including removing a squirrels old nest and belongings!
Mike had changed the underfloor coolant pipes and was having a problem with bleeding the system and getting the required amount of coolant in. We found there to be an air lock, which was stubborn to remove, system all bled, ran up to temperature and radiator getting nice and hit, which it previously hadn’t been.
Fab looking car, and low mileage which had obviously been very well cared for with the previous owner. New exhaust to be sourced and the back window is currently getting sorted with GE Fittings in Ireland, then the car will be back to full spec again.
