What I did with my Rover 75/MG ZT today? - Page 1438

That's a lovely barn!
Managed to fix the cruise control; easier than I thought with help from friends on this site (adjusted the switch which before didnt even know where it was). Think it was disturbed when I did the clutch. Now i need to play with the reversing light switch that was probably messed when I took the gear box out to do the clutch! Wo is me!

It was built around 1600! It's nice apart from the barn owls that live in there, lovely to see but they drop bigger bombs than a Lancaster bomber.

Replaced the front brake pipes and flexis as the old pipes were seized solid.

Typically I thought I had new front discs, turns out they were rear ones! I now have two sets of rears and no fronts, ahh well...

Hi Andy.
I had to do the same on the NUK when i had it but never got round to ding the brake line to hose, passed the MOT though, do you still need to pull the connection up into the star shape and add the small hose retaining clip.

Yes, still to be done, ordered new clips as typically I cannot find the ones have Steve.

And... tackled the rear brakes today, weirdly the backplates and handbrake shoes were in great condition.

Put up an owl box in our barn some 20 years ago; the only thing that seem to nest in there are spiders!

Just managed to replace the reversing light switch in the gearbox so now have lights and beeps! Hurrah (or whatever). Now need to pin up the roof lining some more and re-fit the under engine board!
