Years of ebay scanning finally paid off ;)

LINK If these are the wheels in question, they will look nice once they've been refurbished and diamond cut :drool4: I was in Redcar last week too :getmecoat: Brian :D |
Yes that's the ones , the spare although tatty is the original diamond cut finish which looks amazing so need put the refurb next on the list ;)

Looked for a 'clonk' on hard braking or going over a pothole, also thought the steering was a bit vague.
Found the rubber from the housing at the rear of the front lower suspension arm had completely gone. I do have one to fit, but along with this apparently unsolvable power steering fluid leak decided to start using the spare 75 instead. Unused since August I hope it will do 150 miles to Birmingham airport tomorrow. |
Followed advice from forum regarding the chrome surround on my drivers side door handle coming loose. Tonight put Bostic on it and a pencil to hold it in place as suggested. Will see in a day or so if it has worked.

Today I upgraded my light Oak dash to real walnut. So far it's the biggest job I've done on my car, and although it's a small job I'm quite pleased I managed to do it. when I disassembled the centre console I couldn't put the cigarette lighter back together because for some reason I was trying to force the lighter flap into the console with the locking pin in... It was only after a sleep I realised what a nunpty I'd been and that I'd spent 3 hours trying to force something into somewhere it wasn't meant to go!
The panels took a hell of a lot more force than I expected to push into place, but re-assembly was actually easier than taking it apart in the first place. All I have to do now is install the airbag panel as I didn't have the right tool to remove the fascia. I do really think that MG Rover could have invested in some longer wires to make wiring up the cigarette lighter and clock easier! |

New pair of tyres arrived in time before heading off to the caravan with the kids for the week, could I find the locking wheel nut anywhere? Nope :duh: luckily the local tyre place removed them without much fuss for £10 a nut still kicking myself for losing it the wheels haven't had to come off since they went on about 15000 miles ago it is a mystery :shrug:

Took her for her MOT, she passed, three advisories though. Well pleased.:D

Lifted the rear end up high and started to wire brush, apply plus gas, free off, then coppaslip and re-attach all the fixings on the brakes and suspension components ready for the upper arm replacements. Off side done, stopped for a cuppa and a slice of cake and then it looks a bit black over't'wife's mother's, so axle stands out, wheel back on and jack down. Tomorrow is another day!:} (Assuming that I don't seize up overnight!):duh:
