Wednesday morning found us near Sheffield, nice to see Pete again, for annual service on his great looking 1997 MGF. Hydragas pump up and replacement of the soft top also done for him.
From there we went over to Waltham to investigate what was happening to Julie’s TF135, from her description it sounded a bit like Lambda sensor, but on code reading it turned out to be one of the coil packs, so this was replaced and car back to sounding nice and smooth again.
Today, Thursday found us in Cannock Chase and good to meet Alan for head gasket replacement on another very tidy looking 2001 MGF. The gasket had been replaced just 2 years ago, but had failed again, and on 3 of the cylinders. Coil pack and full set of plugs needed also, as car was misfiring on cylinder 3. A very timely replacement of the alternator belt! See pic below!
Absolutely soaked to the skin, torrential non-stop rain all morning, as soon as we packed everything up and closed the doors to the van the sun appears. 🙄🥶
