What I did with my Rover 75/MG ZT today? - Page 213

Removed rear seat. Found I didn't have the right Torx bit to undo the centre seat belt mounting so went and bought one.

Took out rear shelf. Confirmed wiring for electric blind was there. Replaced with shelf with electric blind. Really fiddly getting it back in because shelf with blind fitted doesn't flex like the old one without blind, but the 'How to' on here was very helpful. Found I had forgotten to connect the electrical connector to the blind, so had to half remove it again to get to the connector.

Fitted switch for blind to front panel. Checked all working

.

Treated the rear seat with Gliptone cleaner and conditioner. Ran out of daylight to get seat back in. Job for another day, preferably when not raining.

Decided to clean along the bottom the windows, inside the rubber, OMG

how much muck came out.

With a quick squirt of GT85 in the channels all windows now close a little quieter now

....blazed up one the best short-driving roads in the country to get my ZT-T even more muddy than it was - thoroughly enjoyed it - and the 2-bucket wash I gave the old boy afterwards -good drivers car the ZT..as I've just found out...!

My 75 looks great in today's sunshine. But it's far too cold to do anything.

I replaced my pollen filter,checked the plenums, then took out, waterproof greased and refitted all the fixing screws to the access panel under the wheel arch ready to do my Shannon tube, when it arrives. Should be easy peasy now.

I've replaced my coolant today, although it turns out it wasn't necessary. Better to be safe though.
I'll also be painting my new tow bar tonight.

Played around with the boost on the 620ti, and started to clean out the ZT-T but it was a bit chilly to be outside for too long.
Ordered a couple of goodies for the ZT-T when she comes out of hibernation.
