What I did with my Rover 75/MG ZT today? - Page 111

Rovering · 6th July 2014, 04:06

Gave my Tourer the first wash it has had in my 3 days of ownership!
Checked the plenum drains were clear too, and as I thought would be the case, need a new pollen filter!
Checked tyre pressures, which I should have done on Friday when I collected the car!
Fronts were on 21 psi and the rears 20 psi. The spare space saver was 20 psi too!
Now all are where I want them, and the spare is at the obligatory 60 psi.

Thanks for the comment on the wheels

If you posted that pic on the OC, they will no doubt be discussing the "non standard" grille

Great car and a great pic

Aren't we the Owners Club site? Now about that non standard Grille

So, there she is. My very own 75! No name as yet! I spent an hours just giving the interior a once over. The light beige leather seats had some lightly ingrained dirt but a couple of squirts of cleaner and a soft nail brush had then gleaming! The worst bit is the soft covering on the N/S A pillar. This has come adrift at one side all the way from the headlining to the dash top and it looks a bit like a wrinkled stocking a la Nora Batty. Any ideas how to resolve it?

Now have two horns as per PPD - no longer have to worry about dozing pedestrians, etc any more!

I have spent the day trying to resolve the wipers activating when the engine is switched off or on and the intermittent stalling during gear changes, reduction in revs (suspect MAF but not sure whether to just disconnect it all together).....
