Discovered parking on hill water drains from under the engine after heavy rain...very handy for lazy 75 owners ...I think

Wife and daughters bought me this today, 5ftx3ft MG flag

Should look good against the red ZT.

Cleaned, derusted and painted fuel tank straps on my Ignition Blue ZTT whilst I had the use of a four post ramp.

Unplugged HouseElf's ECM this morning after a 125 mile test yesterday, looked at my box of dead diesel ECM and decided to repair one of them.

So after taking the MGF for it's first MOT in ten years, followed a nice run out with the roof down to the beach, with the wife and dog, I coded the repaired ECM to the ZT and marvelled at how unpleasantly heavy the clutch was in comparison to the MGF.

I can see me ordering an LUK Repset Pro in the near future methinks

Default Dust Caps

Make sure you copper grease the caps before fitting the Alloy dust caps as they have a very nasty habit of seizing on .

The rain finally stopped so wash waxed and polished, followed by a feed of the leather with Gliptone. Car smells like an old shoe shop now (not the new plastic and rubber smell you get these days - Yukk!)
