Wasn't there somebody who does a full kit with all the bolts you need for under the bonnet?

I expect I probably do about 12k over next two years, so disc should last for at least another 10 years lol.

Hmm cost, mine weren't that cheap as it's a 190 with full vented discs around. Guys at Chelmer Rover have done good job.

Checked the bulkhead plenums as the rain we have had the last few days prompted me to check and I'm very glad I did!! Water was just lapping at the bottom of the black plastic ECU housing :eek:

There was no sign of any water ever being on the ECU so I'm happy I got to it in time.

Another little job done :}

Oh and whoever did the pollen filter on it last managed to get it upside down and back to front

Ordered a door lock release cable for my front drivers door. I have "repaired" the broken one twice now and next time it lets go I'll replace it. Not in any hurry to remove the door card!

Well today I had a wee holiday off work so I put my mind on the zt,

I bought 2 new FAI front drop links to cure a dreadful rattle at the front it seems to have taken most of the rattle away but just not as smooth as I would like it to be everything else seems to be tight enough tho,

I then proceeded to paint the brakes all round my mg is trophy blued so I opted for SILVER lol, so as the paint was drying as I was using a 2 post lift I tidied a few mudflaps.

Getting boring, I know.....

But again did nothing. Just fuelled up and drive.

Maybe I should do something to post about :)

Having said that, trying to get the wheels balanced tomorrow

Removed about 1/2 litre of evil smelling gearbox oil from the sparewheel well of my 1.8 Turbo ZT-T, which had spilled out of a Supra gearbox I collected the other day. :duh:

At least the well won't rust now! :D :getmecoat:
