The hardest post I’ve ever written….
As you all know, Holls is a part of the garage, from the welcoming committee, guard patrol, shouting at fish in the the stream along side the garage, scrounging treats from delivery drivers, saving Pete from the airline which was always about to kill him, or simply snoozing in the window, she is simply part of the the garage. A few weeks ago we were given the devastating news she was very poorly and we didn’t have much time with her, tragically, that time came to an end last week and we had to say goodbye to our precious little girl. There literally are no words. She has brought so much joy, laughter and menace to so many people. She is constantly spoken of and asked for, only last week we had a new customer who was so thrilled to meet ’the dog from the internet’. My precious girl, you can run free now my baby. Eat all the apples you want and mum and Molly will look after you now my sweet sweet girl, sleep tight. You are and will always be so very missed 😢

Can you believe Pete is 50 today?! 😳

If you’re around, please come and say hi and wish him a happy birthday and get some home made treats

Note, we won’t be around between 12-1 pm, that’s when we close for lunch and today is a special lunch 🥰

T5 Update….

…. It’s been a week or so since I introduced you to the sorry tale of this T5. Now it’s update time.

So, I told you the head needed to come off. That was not where it ended. It turned out the crank shaft shells were completely worn (see pics), two of the injectors need to be replaced. The sump is cracked but also full of plastic parts (see pics) this has been a massive job. It’s starting to come back together now nicely and will hopefully be finished early next week.

The head has been skimmed and pressure tested along with the pistons and honed the cylinders by an amazing job, as always.

We are hoping to reunite this vehicle back with its lovely owner.

It’s been a long slog for everyone but these jobs always are. They can never be rushed and take time.

Another update when it’s all finished 🥴😬
