What I did with my Rover 75/MG ZT today? - Page 313

Had to put a spare on the NSR because of a puncture.

Luckily I had a couple of Comets with decent tyres.
But I dont have a matching set of tyres now.

****!

Change front and rear OS drivers door due to trolley dinks from super market and the chap next door

first I clayed both doors before fitting, hopefully these will stay dink free for a while

then stripped the old door out of the wiring and window mechanics

finished prototyping the bi-xenon setups...

Voltage smoothing design working well on bench and in the car.
Hi beam "Flash" for Inner HID generator and divert mirror isolated from low beam.

The lights are now ready for road testing and I will get them fitted in the morning to Roswell and they will make a first appearance at the POL.

Learned a couple of things... needed to keep a bulb in the sidelight loop to keep canbus happy.
The slightly more expensive imported Halo's are better quality then the UK sourced ones...

If you think a problem through you can do most things...

4 weeks and 5 circuit layouts is a lot of work...

Fitted a new old stock seal, because the driver's one was an awful mess. Much better now, and hopefully, much quieter again, as a result!

Good for you Frazer, those seals when split bug me to high heaven

Ken.

Fitted door finishers to both front doors and put on discs and pads again at front. Needs new top strut bearing but appears the pinch bolt shank is seized, needs some more work on it.

took off my motobuild -1" rear springs and shockers and replaced with "standard" comfort springs and shockers (wife is not happy with razor sharp handling),will replace fronts in next few weeks and advertise all for sale when done!!!
Happy Motoring

I'm going to take a razor to my alacantra seats today and give them a shave.

Checked fluids & plems all sweet. After dinner it's time for wheels off and check all suspension & brake parts
If there's time I mite give it a wash.

Last minute change of plans means I didn't go to POL. Up early and both the 75 and the coupe have been polished. Also, the airbag light on the 75 has been extinguished
