What I did with my Rover 75/MG ZT today? - Page 418

STUBIE · 1st November 2015, 16:15

Fitted a new Balance VIS Motor obtained from Matt at DMGRs after PHil-T4 tested it last weekend at the last KingsLyn Meet.

Seems to have now got back its low down torque again.

Treated the tourer to 6.5 litres of synthetic,oil and air filters as a thank you for letting russ abuse her ECU

Today I delined an IPK that had been away to "one of the professional companies" twice for repair at 100.00 a shot

Took 20 minutes and the gent told me when he sent it away before it took 3WEEKS #!!

the guy was so happy he insisted on paying me DOUBLE my usual fee....
I want to sell him a set of lights next... :

Took the roof rails off to try and solve the water leak into my boot. I'm now tempted to remove them permanently, if I can find suitable blanking plugs.

Does anyone know if the round ones from Rimmer's fit properly?

Thanks,
Rob

Parked on the drive too close to one of the concrete fence posts, resulting in a lovely scrape on the n/s corner of the front bumper. Grrr!!!

Drove it, and found out it does indeed have a fuel leak.
New HP pump time, confirmed as leaking.

Was woken up at 5.30 AM with the alarm squawking

NSR door open so it reckons.......foggy as hell and assuming water ingress into the lock mech.

Damn and blast
