Well onto something that has irked me about SWMBO car for some time......in the form of some previously beautifully crafted OSF brake pipe
 So while I was waiting for the rain to pass over so I could tackle some jobs on the ZT, I cobbled this up....... So once I have a chance to fit this luxury new kunifer item, it should look something like this......... I love the way things are so nicely done (not) by garages in a hurry when in fact making this pipe took about fifteen minutes, and will be the only thing holding the two hlves of the car together in forty years time  Brian |

Yesterday. Drove 380 miles round trip to Shropshire. And it wasn't an enjoyable drive. The front tracking is getting worse and the vibrations and hollow engine knocking isn't any better after a new conteca crank pulley. The brakes are rubbish too. Oh! and the gear change is getting really sticky.
New Hydromount, discs, pads and service kit are on it's way to me, so a christmas sort out is on the cards. |
