The 75 and ZT Owners Club Forums - What I did with my Rover 75/MG ZT today?

Did nothing with the 75 but picked the classic cooper S up from the bodyshop. Amazing how something so little can make you so happy! Mrs sworks dropped me off in the tomcat and we travelled home in convoy. For two old British cars that most people don’t like they seemed to get quite a bit of attention

I know what you mean Mark... The wife and I took the ZT and TF out quite a bit this year during the summer months, and pretty much every time we stopped off somewhere, albeit a shop or pub, both cars certainly got some very nice remarks.

I don't reckon I will ever find another car battery as good as this one, will it get me through another winter? :icon_rolleyes:

The battery must be at least 7 years old now, it was on the car when I bought it.

Talking about batteries,got in 75 Monday,not used for about 5 weeks,flat batt.
Not a single light on dashboard. Charged it up yesterday,refitted this afternoon started 1st time. The battery was bought less than 6mths ago,recommended supplier. Not impressed.

My 'new' replacement front bumper arrived yesterday, to replace the one on the car that was demolished by an unfortunate wee deer. The new one is almost immaculate but I just need to find time to swap all the trim, foggies, headlight washers etc etc :) (and it was free postage!!!!)

I discovered a broken bottom mount today while tying the exhaust up!

No problem, a ten minute job....

...until the captive nut on the subframe sheared off.

You gotta love these cars ain’t you.

Nut and bolt will work, as long as two spanners can be used at the same time
