Spark HGF FIXED !!

Today Mike (MJS) fixed our HGF,he replaced the water pump,cambelt and tensioner,also the alternator belt.Great job done!Highly recomend him to all MG owners,a really nice guy,prompt and reliable and most importantly, great price and also made no mess on Spark!

Excellent! :thumbsup:
I see it's the usual failure on the old gasket. :yesnod:

I'm surprised to see a plastic inlet manifold. I thought all TFs had the metal manifold fitted.

spark is a 115,not a 135 and they were fitted with a plastic manifold.Really glad its back on the road for the drive to work tomorrow.

:woohoo: Result

A very professional service. Just as a matter of interest what was the great price?

Thanks for that ! You learn something new every day! :lol:

The total cost with 10 % discount for car club members was £453,which we think is great value.We are confident with his work as he has done other work for us,servicing etc.

Especially as 'Ohio' isn't just around the corner. :silly:

excellent nice to see spark fixed, and the body pannel cover used to prevent scratches.thats a good sign of a decent mechanic :broon:

That does sound like a good price. I've heard of people paying silly money for this work. Did that include the new antifreeze?

Was the head skimmed or pressure tested?

Thank you for posting the pictures of Spark's treatment, so glad you are pleased with the result, i know that Mike has a good reputation for quality work, clean and tidy job and a terrific price too :thumbsup: result :woohoo:

One of our members at Epsom MGOC paid Epsom Motor Group (still MG Dealers) £1700 for a head gasket job on a 2005 TF 135 which included water pump , cam belt and tensioner. Horray for Mike, Jon & Russell :woohoo:
