(Hull), Wakefield, Leeds, Derby…
Whoosh and another week has flown by, with the beginning of it being an absolute wash out! We had received a couple of cancellations for this week, so I went through the cancellation list and filled a couple of slots. One of which, was a local ish booking in Bransholme, but it would have been a bad move to carry out the work, which was for head gasket replacement and underfloor coolant pipes, the car was in the street, which was just one huge puddle, along with flood warnings in the area, we literally had to take a rain-check. The owner understood and is happy to wait for a further cancellation.
We went over to Grange Moor, near Wakefield, on Tuesday morning, where, thankfully, it was dry, although a bit on the nippy side. It was lovely to meet Tony and his 2001 MGF VVC in British Racing Green – HFF, that he’d owned from new. Full cambelt service carried out. Good to chat with Tony while we worked, thanks to him for the cuppas and homemade cake.
We headed over to Roundhay, near Leeds, on Wednesday morning to carry out a full cambelt service on Mat’s year 2000 MGF 120 mpi in British Racing Green – HFF. It was lovely to meet Mat, who runs a classic car club, it was at a meet that he was given one of our cards by a friend of ours, thanks Chris!
Thursday found us over in Burnaston, near Derby, for work on David’s 1998 MGF VVC in Platinum Silver – MNX. Having owned classic cars in the past and also a current owner of two MGB GTs he fancied seeing what an MGF was like. He had found himself this excellent example, with very low mileage. Though everything else with the car was spot on, he’d found the ride a little harsh. So we swapped out all four of the hydragas spheres, hopefully he’ll notice a difference when he gets back out in it again, next spring. Small coolant leak, that he’d mentioned, traced and hopefully fettled. Great to meet David, with thanks to him for the cuppas and not to mention his garage, sheltering us from the grotty cold and drizzly rain.
We had the day off today for me to get on with some essential work needed at home and for Jon to get over to Rimmer Bros in Lincoln to pick up some parts required for some jobs coming up in the workshop over the next couple of weeks.
One of our enquiries this week came all way from America, now that would be great one to do, but I think we’ve managed to help him out remotely.
Have a great weekend everyone near and far, though looks a bit of a wet one all round, stay warm and dry. – https://ift.tt/uRhJ5nK
