FL2 Engine oil
Well yesterdays dry day was taken advantage of by doing a quick engine oil and filter change from today and over the weekend the rear diff, PTU, and the Haldex, gearbox oils will be changed.
1 Exhaust will be rubbed down also, and painted up. 2 Awkward oil filter so used the tool i made to do the job 3 4 New O-ring fitted and a little new oil on the O-ring before re-fitting the oil pot and filter. 5 6 7 New copper washer for the oil drain plug. 8 9 Make sure oil filter is fitte3d correctly then add new oil. 10 Move onto the oil changes above today and this weekend.

I didn’t wash the car, nor did I look for the rear abs sensors with any enthusiasm. However, I continued my unproductive search for a 75 auto tourer.

was hoping to drop the sub frame and gearbox but so many difficulties. The gearbox in now has a problem staying in 3rd; the clutch has gone etc. Have a different gearbox + clutch kit but 1st time I have tried to work on the gearbox; there seems to be lots of salt spray corrosion on the aluminium bit. When (if?) i get it apart will so some spraying with waxoyl before it all goes togather again.

On the way to the 25th Anniversary Meeting at The British Motor Museum, I failed to plan, and missed the wonderful photo-opportunity of capturing the odometer reading of 081810 (after missing 081180 some time last week!)... AND during my return journey the equally note-worthy reading of 82000.

A couple of weeks ago I curbed a wheel on my ZT-T.
I repaired the minor damage and repainted the wheel then, of course found that the hubcap colour no longer matched, and the remaining 3 wheels looks a bit scruffy so I decided to repaint the lot. I got the hubcaps done then ran into a week of cold, rainy weather so nothing got accomplished, and now that the weather has improved I have a ferocious cough and cold so nothing is getting done. sigh*
