What I did with my Rover 75/MG ZT today? - Page 1411

Moved the driver's cupholder over from the 1.8 to the 2.5.

Thanks again to Number 6 for selling this to me

Fitted the replacement rear parking sensor, all good again.

Fixed my CD changer. Swapped Union alloys from the 1.8 onto the 2.5 (I had a slight vibration at motorway speeds that I think was rear wheel balance). Refurbished and fitted pre-project drive D-pillar exterior trim. Deep cleaned the spare wheel well (water ingress had caused an old tool roll bag to go mouldy).

Removed passenger front seat in an effort to find factory fitted wiring for my planned leather seat upgrade, which are electric and heated. Sadly despite being a 1999 build Cowley car, my 1.8 Classic SE does not have any seat wiring. Going to need a loom and assistance, and probably a trip to a midlands nano-meet! 😂

This old girl clocked 190000 today, then gave her and the other a foam and then a hand wash.

Drove on the motorway and confirmed that new wheels/tyres fixed the vibration. The Crowns need 2 new tyres (10 years old and starting to crack) and balancing.

Visited a paintless dent repair shop for an estimate for a few small dings on my ZT-T. As they are mostly on the roof he is going to try glue-pulling them so that the headliner doesn't have to be removed. He is optimistic that the results will be good. I've seen his work and he is a perfectionist so I am confident that he will do a good job. An added bonus is that his prices are much lower than conventional body repairs.
I will post before and after pics when the job is done.
