🇳🇴 Our Visitors from Norway! 🇳🇴
Over to the workshop first thing on Monday morning to greet our overseas visitors from Norway, who had disembarked from the ferry in Hull. They are on their latest tour of the UK and are members of the Norsk MG klubbs gruppe having met up from various locations in Norway.
Part of their tour was to come over to us for some work on their MGs and in no particular order, over Monday and Tuesday, we carried out the following:
Per and Berit who live in Asker came over in their 2004 TF 135 80th anniversary (in Goodwood Green – HQM). This was fitted with a new ‘Mike Satur’ stainless-steel exhaust back-box, new exhaust down-pipe, rear and forward Lambda sensors were replaced, brake discs and pads all round, new clutch-slave cylinder and free off of the clutch-release arm.
Svein and Bente who came over from Slattum in their 2005 TF 135 Spark (in Xpower Grey – LEF) wanted to have a preemptive head gasket carried out, full cambelt service done also, plus a Kmaps remap.
Are who lives in Kristiansand had driven over in his 2002 MGF 120 (in Old English White – NNX). On this we replaced all four hydragas spheres, a Brown & Gammons coolant alarm kit, new resistor pack and a Kmaps remap.
Jan who also lives in Kristiansand was on the tour in his 2002 MGF 120 (in Old English White – NNX). This one had a bit of a shorter list, which was to change the gearbox oil, fit a resistor pack, which is a little bit more awkward on the left hand drive cars, and also a Kmaps remap. The two white MGFs are two of three that exist in Norway.
Are was in his 2002 TF 160 (in Xpower Grey – LEF) and comes from Bronnoysund. On this we fitted a ‘Mike Satur’ 4-2-1 stainless exhaust system, this is also a slightly more awkward job on cars fitted with aircon, but we got round it, although taking a lot longer than is usual. Then finally a Kmaps remap.
Steinar and Kare weren’t needing anything this time on their TF 160 80th Anniversary and Bernt was on the tour in his 2001 MGF, it was lovely to meet him.
A tough couple of days, which we expected, and we did it almost all on time ready for their departure. Couple of delays with having two cars held up at customs and Are’s MGF undergoing a thorough inspection by the port security. Typically these were the ones we had planned on tackling first. The 4-2-1 took a while longer and another remap added in, but we did it! Both a bit achy now.
It was so great to see some old faces and meet some new ones too. Always a pleasure to meet up with them when they’re on their tours of the UK. We’ve met up with them in a few locations over the years now and even had a trip over to service the cars in Norway back in 2013.
They do keep their cars in tip top condition and take great pride in them. Thanks for entrusting us with them.
It was down to the wire getting the forecourt finished and concrete laid, I was in a slight panic about where they could all park, as all seven cars left with us overnight as they took a minibus into York to see the sites on Monday and Tuesday, returning to us mid afternoon.
We wish them safe and enjoyable onward travels, as they head into Wales on Wednesday morning and then on to the Cotswolds, a trip of 10 days in total with 7 cars. We will continue to follow their tour with Steinars regular Facebook posts. 😎🇳🇴 – https://ift.tt/AJOt3Uu
