What I did with my Rover 75/MG ZT today? - Page 854

What am I going to do to my ZTT today? Well I can categorically say b.u.g.g.e.r all! It's absolutely smashing it down with rain and my car is sat in a state if disassembly on the drive. Oh well, at least she's covered up while waiting for my attention.

Frustrating though, I just want to crack on.

Rodded the plenum now we're getting more rain and leaves will start to be falling soon.

Yesterday to be precise!
As the sump plug was stuck, I ordered a Laser vacuum oil extractor. I picked it up yesterday and put it straight to work and it is fantastic.
The engine took the full 7 litres of oil to refill so it must have extracted most of the oil.
Oil filter changed, together with the air and PCV filter.

Also cleaned and rodded the N/S plenum, however it wasn't too bad. It had a replacement ECU because of flooding in this area back in 2009.

Scrubbed the sandstone seats, which had gone a bit grey and now they are the correct colour again.

Fixed my non-functioning drivers internal door handle.

Mercifully easy, as it had just unhooked itself somehow.

Yesterday in between rain and hail storms I managed to give the old girl a quick going over with my new DA polisher.

The paint work looks so much better, but I'm going to need stronger cutting compound to work out some of the deeper scratches.

Hi Iain
If you have put 7 litres back into the car then it is over filled as the CDTi only takes 6.8 litres of oil. I always like to refill with only 6.6 litres leaving it just below the high mark

I picked up the 190 today from the garage having all it's work done to pass the MOT, here's to another 12 months dodging the grim reaper.

For the first time in a long time I am awake enough and have the energy (night worker) to give the car a quick clean and check the oil/ water and happy to report fluid levels are ok. That's it for my day off now off for a nap lol.
