Bit of a short week this week…
James travelled up from London on Monday to collect his 2003 TF 135, that he had left with last week for some work. (All detailed on last week’s blog). We went in on Sunday to finish off a couple of things, one of which was to replace the top ball joint on the offside front, fortunately the wheel bearing wasn’t affected and this resolved the issue without the need of a track rod end either.
Nice to see James again and meet his cute woofer, his traveling companion for their trip back home.
This morning found us on a local call in Hull, where it was great to meet Mark. He’d fancied owning an MG and found this 1999 MGF VVC in Solar Red – CMU, back in July, this also resided in London with the previous owner, sure we recognise it, but unfortunately came with little paperwork. Although, he did know that the cambelts hadn’t been replaced for 10 years.
So today we carried out a full cambelt service. We swapped out the coolant temperature sensor as Mark suspected this was faulty, but it’s obviously a problem with the gauge itself. We ran the diagnostics, which showed that everything was working as it should, so he will address the issue next year. The radiator bleed screw was snapped off so we replaced this with new. That should have been the last job of the year, but we’ve got a couple of calls in the north east next week.
Thanks to Mark for all the welcome warming cuppas. Good to have fusses with his very cute woofer too. It’s certainly a very nice example he found himself, hope he has lots of enjoyment out of the car. – https://ift.tt/7sjES1G
