Intank pump
Well, after ordering a replacement pump from DMGRS last week, had to let the storm pass and installed it yesterday.
No more hesitation under acceleration thank god, I really thought my autobox was shot. Edit:scrub that still getting throttle cutout underload. Arrrgh. Think the scrapyard calling its name. Not throwing any more money at it now. EDIT 2: No its fine, was air in the system from messing around with the fuel line. Molly isn't being scrapped. Oh and finally put on my side 75zt club stickers. Hope everyone has a happy Christmas. Last edited by simondhopkins; 14th December 2021 at 17:07.. |

Bled my coolant system again. This time tried to get the expansion tank off to raise it as far as it would go on the pipes but the bolt holding it on is well and truly seized so I filled the header tank to the brim and squeezed the top hose repeatedly, lots of bubbles appeared. When they stopped I emptied out the header tank to the right level using an anti-freeze tester. Hopefully all the air is out now but I'll monitor it over the coming week.

I put another tonne of aggregate down on my car parking area. I need another tonne to finish it off, extend it forward to my boundary, level with the Astroturf. Sooner or later, another tonne will turn up
I've put down about six tonnes of aggregate so far, I get all of it free from work. If I didn't take it away every day, 150kg at a time, then it would just end up being put in the skip which work would have to pay to have taken away. Normally bulk bags turn up without labels on them so nobody knows where it is supposed to be going and after a few weeks we just get told to scrap it. So a win/win situation really, freecycling at its best. My mooring was a quagmire before I started. Last edited by Southern Star; 11th December 2021 at 19:46.. |

I had to recharge the battery on the v8 as it was flat. I did it a week ago as it was flat, so I think its time for a new one.
Once recharged it was good to listen to that v8 burble into life again, roll on next spring. |

Fitted new front and rear number plates (courtesy of Matt Dickins) to the 75 tourer and repaired the floppy o/s door mirror on the ZT-T.

Drove down to Oxfordshire (which was good in itself as my car gets used too often on short journeys and a 100 mile round trip blows out the cobwebs especially as I chucked half a litre of Liqui Moly in the fuel tank yesterday) and there I picked up a set of 16" Union alloy wheels from club member Typhoon190 to replace the 17" Star Spoke alloys I currently have as I don't like the low profile tyres. I've been meaning to do this ever since I bought the car and it's only taken me nine years to get around to it.
Started deep cleaning them with a toothbrush etc but haven't fitted them yet as I was worried about running out of daylight, I find wheels with bolts an absolute PITA to fit and will probably get some M14 threaded bar in the week to use as a guide. Or I might just give my local friendly mechanic a brown beer voucher to do it next Saturday. Then I think I will probably sell the Star Spoke alloys on here. |
