Default Thankyou to Andy And Debs - Trikey's

Ref my thread: https://the75andztclub.co.uk/forum/s...d.php?t=298656

Having collected the CDT from Norfolk earlier today with a new clutch and driven home about 35 miles, it is amazing just how light the clutch now is to operate.

The Trikey's also changed the brake fluid, performed a T4 brake circuit bleed and general T4 diagnostics as well as giving the whole car a thorough going over.

Overall, a great weekend's work by them and to be highly recommended to anyone looking to have work done professionally on our cars, especially the clutch.

PS I am thinking of starting a "What Marinabrian has not done for me thread" as he did not turn up to help!

I spent most of the day under the car in the shade ☀️

Deb was the hero passing me the tools, and keeping us hydrated. Rogue also popped in and brought coffee which was very much needed.

It’s amazing how different a diesels clutch feels when fitted with new parts and the master cylinder bled through to remove all the old fluid.

Well, whatever Rugue fed yourselves with the coffee has certainly benefited the car. So my thanks to Rugue also.

I definately owe Andy and Debs the odd coffee for all the help i've had over the last few years so no worries there

Marinabrian, who's he ?

Sorry Maninder, I was doing some important things this weekend, mainly involving beer, sunshine, food and stuff

I did however get the chance to look at one of my own cars for a change, and a check over prior to MOT this morning.

It passed I'm happy to say

Brian

I didn't fancy breaking one of my nails I suppose

Oooh, spa day at Ramside Hall on Friday though

Now I have to admit, that sounds far preferable to dealing with horrid dirty gearbox bits and bobs
