Vinyl gives the same overall appearance of leather but at a fraction of the cost this can often be the preferred option.
Replacing the alternator on our 2008 Range Rover Sport
July 26, 2018
The battery light has come on on the Range Rover so it’s in our workshops having the alternator replaced.
It’s a fiddly job on the Range Rover with some reporting that it is a full ‘body off’ task. We’ve managed to gain access without having to carry out anything too dramatic.

Refit after paint
July 26, 2018
Our 1983 Mercedes 230E has returned from the paint shop having had the welded areas blended back in. The loose components have also returned so we are now on the final stages of fitting up. The internal arches have been stone guarded too to help fight against the debris that comes off the roads during a drive. This will help also to prolong the life of the paintwork.

Fitting up the power steering
July 26, 2018
I won’t lie to you, fitting up the power steering hasn’t been ‘EZ’ (sorry, couldn’t resist), through no fault of anyone in particular but simply due to the fact that this may be the only Jensen 541S of it’s kind to have one in.
We called upon the assistance of EZ Electric Power Steering, the market leaders in the manufacturing of classic car power steering. Luckily they had experience in the Jensen 541S having produced one before but unfortunately it turns out that the one before happened to have a manual gearbox.
Upon arrival we quickly noticed that the new system built for us was not going to fit correctly so back to Holland it went, along with the old rack for a new system to be made.
Meanwhile, whilst some of us are hard at work…

Looks like the boys are enjoying the sunshine up in Scotland. Gordon has been joined by our good friends Shaun Harkness and Greg Lister for a spot of dinner and drinks.
Shaun has brought along his latest toy, a Triumph Bobber.
And we look forward to Greg taking on the 650 mile trip to visit us here in Suffolk on Sunday 26th August 2018 for Bridge Classic Cars Classic & Sports Car Show. Open to everyone feel free to come along too.
