What I did with my Rover 75/MG ZT today? - Page 148

I did what I've done for the last three weeks, look admiringly at my Connie and think why did you blow a power steering hose just before your MOT and why is it I can't find a replacement part.

but still couldnt get the abs sensor to work

Hmm, I have my doubts to be honest

Was helping out a mate to fix his MGF's blowing exhaust. A stud had sheered its thread in the block which resulted in poor seal and gasses blowing out

Had to re-thread the block and put an oversized stud

Nothing with my ZT (yet) but took one of my toys out to the White Lion Antiques breakfast meet.

Its a Reliant Scimitar with a 3.5l Rover V8 & 5-speed 'box (plus dubious bodywork modifications)

Passed its MoT for the first time in years last week

Furthest its gone (~10 miles), under it's own steam, in all that time so the shock made it a bit incontinent

I take it you can't make up your mind which colour you like

Brake fluid change with the assistance of SWMBO. One of the most straightforward jobs of the weekend.

Have a squealing which i was attempting to fix yesterday.(no not SWMBO this time lol).....the auxiliary belt is skimming over the compressor but when I turn the crankshaft manually it moves. Checked the tensioner and it seems weak but didn't have the 3/8" square bar to move it . Ran out of time to remove it and examine the effectiveness or would I know what or how to check it ? Presumably spring loaded but are they needing replacement after a certain time.
Aux belt has rover written on it so wondering was it ever changed?

I just fuelled up again, other than that the car needs nothing.

Oil change still 3500 mls away.
