I set mine on Auto and air con with the temp at 20 degrees C and let it do what it was designed to. Strict instructions to her indoors to "Leave it!" It's very clever and won't try to warm the car until the coolant temp is OK to work.

Made various trips to the tip to dispose of lots of stuff you hang on to, but don't need to.
Life laundry, the first wash is in.........I hope the pikey's appreciate it Next on the list will be the 214, followed by the marina, and Freelander. Once I have a bit of drive space back, I'll be taking the new parts off the ZT and the duotone prior to chopping up the remnants. I've come to the conclusion there are much better things to life than storing shyte for all time. Brian |

They will love that wheel barrow, it wont take them long to find a wheel for it if it does not have one at the moment. I have got to sort out my sheds so in the new year I will be going through the boxes, I know there are a few brake calipers, exhaust short front pipes, crash bars, couple of doors, wiring looms etc.

Removed the front scuttle panel so it could be painted, cleaned the crud from the front window screen below the scuttle panel once removed, added a interior pull to the drives side.
Washed all three it will most likely be the MGZT last wash in my ownership, as my son is having it now I have my tourer. 1 also added some aquarium filter sponge to stop the leaves etc getting into the plenums. 2 3 4 Scuttle painted and back in place 5 6 Then the NUK was finally washed 7 8 Tomorrow I will take the four spare star spokes to be refurbished

Put the Peugeot partner van up on ramps and decided I don't fancy lying on my back to change the brake lines will take it to a garage instead, then hopefully sorted the boot leak out on both the saloons, waiting for some rain now shouldn't be to long before that happens

The evil black stuff, but worth it in the end, I have 5 ready at the moment along with the EGR's I put a nice new clean one on my Tourer the day after I got it

I didn’t do anything with my 75 but seeing all those R8 door handles going to scrap made me sad.......

We couldn't have the scrapmen taking away such valuable spare parts now Sorry Mark, they are both intact (despite Trikey's best efforts) but only one is the right colour though Brian |
