Workshop week…
Nigel and his friend trailered up his 2001 MGF Freestyle in Tahiti Blue (JRJ) from Halesowen first thing on Monday morning for front subframe replacement. Great to meet them both and have a chat before they left. We got cracking with removing the old subframe, only to realise that in our very substantial stock of galvanized subframes for both F & TF we didn’t have a front one! Following a phone call to Will Naylor over in Stockport Jon dropped me off at home, swapped vehicles and headed off to pick one up. Thanks Will!
We got everything done on Tuesday, plus fitting new wishbones as both were completely rotten. Many bolts required grinding off and replacing. This is a ‘project’ car for Nigel so we advised him on a few things we’d noticed. He’d done a bit of shopping around for the work and found us to be the cheapest. He and his friend came back up on Wednesday to collect. We wish him well with the rest of the process.
Daniel had left his 2009 LE 500 (number 283) with us, having driven over from Gainsborough. We’d seen the car previously when he asked us to check out a fuel smell when driving, we couldn’t find anything at the time and with him being concerned about it we suggested leaving it with us for a couple of days to do some further checks. Whilst in with us, he also wanted the brake lines replacing, as they were an advisory at his last MOT, plus sorting the SRS light issue and replacing the drivers side door mechanism. Daniel had also supplied a replacement charcoal canister in the hope that this would also help alleviate the fuel smell. All done and ready for collection.
Van all stocked up and ready for a busy week ahead out and about on the road. Another one delivered to us today, ahead of work, from Essex. Have a great weekend everyone wherever you may be, keep warm! 🥶 – https://ift.tt/FSTBg7W
