Cool A spirited drive…………

…………………………. Today in the Bear to, and from MG’s in the park. Met up with GazzaV6 in his MGZT, “Scrappy Do”, and a well sorted MG ZS.
The Bear covered 362 miles and we got 24.27mpg. Using the super unleaded.
And that was travelling at Warp Factor 3 and a bit aka 69.9mph (ish!).

In the “Pride of Ownership” Redfive got Highly Commended award. Lost out to a very highly detailed MG ZT from Wales.

Met loads of old friends from the various MG clubs I used to frequent.
Lots of sympathy for Banana but all said “She will be back”, I blooming hope so. The Bear is killing my petrol wallet.

Angry

Didn't make it there the B threw a hissy fit and had to be recovered home
Lot of ignition controlled circuits not functioning but it's not making any sense
Tomorrow is another day to try again and my patience.

Far easier to repair than a 75, good luck with it!

That's about what I get from my ZT V6. Suspect the automatic box might be to blame.

Thanks Andy, it's kind of sorted itself, but I think the main culprit is the fuse box, fortunately it's not like our 75/ZT fuse boxes . Although it's up and running I won't trust it till a replacement arrives and it's changed.
