Monday morning at workshop and ready for the arrival of Nigel and Jo, in their 2003 MG TF 135 (in Typhoon – IAB), who had driven up from Burnham-on-Sea on Sunday.
Initially booked on for a rear subframe replacement, as it had been noted, when they took it in for the recent respray, that there were holes in it.
Once up on our lift to give it an inspection we noticed that it was only the gearbox support arm that was holed and not the subframe itself.
We replaced this with a galvanized one and then rust treated and painted up the subframe. Whilst in there, we carried out a clutch replacement and a full cambelt service. The clutch had certainly done it miles, so was the right time to replace it.
The 4-way coolant connector just about fell to pieces, so this was replaced with new. The brake lights weren’t coming on and was found to be a faulty switch, so this was also replaced. All done and then sent round for the MOT on Wednesday afternoon.
It’s a beautiful example and does now look like a new car!
Lovely to see Nigel and Jo again, when they made their way back up the country to collect this afternoon. We waved them off on their long journey back, only for them to turn around after half a mile, as we’d omitted to refit the speed sensor, so we waved them off again and hope they have a smooth run back home, despite the truly grotty weather.
We will see them again on Sunday at Stoneleigh as they will be manning the stall again at the MG & Triumph Spares day, it’s a good event and worth a visit if it isn’t already on your calendars.
Everything now all complete on Julie’s TF 135, following the MOT on Wednesday, which brought up a few advisories. Now ready for her to come over from Grimsby to collect on Monday. So essentially we had an unexpected day off today, which was nice.
Have a great weekend everyone near and far. Maybe see a few people for a long overdue catch-up on Sunday! – https://ift.tt/zt5P2Fg
