A short run to our job today from our digs in Stirling to Kippen, where it was good to meet Des for investigation of a problem with his TF 1.6, that he and his wife have owned for the last five years.
Unfortunately, the alternator belt had given way, taking the tensioner and cambelt, which subsequently resulted in 14 bent valves. After a discussion, it was decided that the car was too good to let go and Des wanted to save the car, so we have taken the head away with us to fully refurbish.
Good decision, as the rest of the car is in really good condition. Really felt for Des, but it’s nothing can’t be fixed, it will be good to get this one back up and running again. 🐝
Having an unexpected afternoon available to us I had a walk to the Wallace Monument, when I got back we just had enough time for a tour of Stirling castle. Both really interesting places. – https://ift.tt/363HZbI
