After having my ZT-T for 2 days ( and the 2 days off work..)
I have....

Replaced the ageing battery with a spanking new Varta (£55.33 - a steal!)

Replaced All broken bulbs...there were a few - after I fitted new battery!

Flushed plenum top and bottom..

Checked all bearings for noise..

swapped Wheels front to back - and found two wheel nuts had seized as it had stood for a year..! ...fun getting those off..

Re-fitted Rear lights - as they were hanging off! Really, who designed the flimsy securing hole/tiny piece of plastic to hold them on..???

Washed, polished, valeted - and enjoyed every minute of it!

...just a shame I have to work now for the rest of the week...damn...

Refitted the shiny black front subframe, along with it's shiny silver lower arms and shiny new rear bushes.

Then refitted the shiny steering rack, to the shiny subframe, the rather rusty looking drop links to the shiny anti roll bar.

Stood back and admired the shiny blackness of the shiny subframe contrasting with the shiny silver of the lower arms, then refitted the PAS pipework clips, and lower rad hose clips.

Then it started to rain, and get dark

Do I get an award for the use of shiny, shiny, of shinyness in this post

This is working out to be very rewarding indeed I have to say

You can't beat stretching a ten hour job out over many days, with lots of frabblement in between

Did you buy and fit the whole maf complete with housing? or did you buy the sensor only?
I`m interested as a few here are just buying the sensor only and I have been following their reports.

Bought and put on a new set of locking wheelbolts for £15.00 from STS wheels in Slough, more wheels and bits than I've ever seen in a warehouse as clean as a McLaren workshop!!
