What I did with my Rover 75/MG ZT today? - Page 20

Put $60 worth of fuel in the 75. The fuel gauge almost got to 3/4 full.

Today i decided to fish the led bulb that had fell into my headlight, I had to remove headlight to do this and because I had the bumper off I changed the headlight washer pump at the same time.

I did think my new pump was a duff one as for about 10 mins and a couple of washer bottles full of water I realised my lights were not on so they would not work

I've had to leave mine at work over night and bring home a merc sprinter

Today I put an LED into my boot.

Let there be light

Well, my own 75 passed her MOT this morning. She needed new handbrake shoes, rear discs/pads, an ABS sensor, some number plate light fettling, rear suspension bushes and an OSR tyre. Cost me a few bob and did a lot of the work myself, but the car is a cracker and well worth the effort.

Collected car from garage after having new (well, remanufactured) turbo fitted.
Now I'm poorer, but should have cured the excessive oil use and smoky exhaust.

That should at least give you some peace of mind David, even if it cost a lot. Out of interest, how much labour or how much time did the garage charge you for this job?
Would be useful to know for future reference.
Cheers, Karl.

Ouch, that's a lot of money - but worth it, I'm sure.
Thanks for the info. No probs with mine yet, so keeping fingers crossed!
