What I did with my Rover 75/MG ZT today? - Page 830

New discs pads and a backplate to make the front end spot on. To be honest, the old pads and discs weren't that bad but with the hugely discounted items sitting on the shelf, it was a no brainer. They'll probably outlive me and the motor! Me 67 and motor 19 !!!

Should keep Mr MOT happy next month.

I had all four back plates replaced with new one when brakes were done... my rears were shot.

Mine had a hole, where someone had been levering the bottom edge. Didn't want to catch my fingers on it, so it had to go. All nice and shiny now!

Cleaned and reassembled four diesel inlet manifolds with EGR and MAP sensors ready for our July nano meet, the sweltering heat helped with cleaning them as the heat made the gunk soft

cursed it (or rather MGR) for putting the hazard warning switch in such a silly place that I managed to knock it getting out the car this morning and got home to a flat battery.

Walk home to get my other car and a set of jump leads and all was good.

That's the second time I've done that with this car.

Fitted new lemforder drop links, went for a test drive after and joy , no rattles.
BUT NOW MY ABS LIGHT IS ON

Got that feeling that I am just chasing one fault after another with the car

I decided to use my new special tool for extracting all the internal parts of an injector, I am going to give it a good clean tomorrow once I have finished I will make a thread/how to Arctic.
