Scotland – Days 11 & 12 – Dingwall and travel day…
Another really short commute this morning, from our digs in Dingwall, and up the hill to Eddie’s house for work on his ‘97 MGF VVC, in paint code KMN, that was originally exported for the Japanese market.
Eddie’s owned the car for a number of years now and we last saw it a couple of years ago when he lived near Forfar.
Today we replaced the underfloor coolant-pipes with stainless ones and changed the gearbox oil. The heater fans weren’t working on all settings so he wanted us to replace the resister-pack, an easy job usually, but not on the aircon models, a bit more work is involved, which we already knew, but thought we’d give it a try anyway to see if we could find a short-cut. So that’s on the to-do list on our next visit, when we will return next year to replace all of the spheres and carry out the cambelt service, which will be due then.
Great to see Eddie again and have a good chat. Thanks to him for the cuppas and cakes, much appreciated. Plus it was good to have fusses with their lovely woofers Chewy, Poppy and Melvin!
Another night in Dingwall last night and we then departed from our really fantastic digs this morning. The landlady couldn’t have been more friendly and welcoming. We know where we will be staying next year for sure.
As it was a travel day today, Jon nipped over to Inverness for a part for the van, the handbrake cable decided to give up on us the other day, and I enjoyed a lovely local walk up the hills, beautiful spot and some fab weather thrown in too.
Some very picturesque scenery as we headed over to our next and final destination in Acharacle, where we’re now tucked up in a pod for the next few nights, ready for our first of two days at Chris’s in the morning. – https://ift.tt/QWRfCm6
