Got a present from ebay and fitted my 4 new shiny MG valve caps to the tyres then went inside for a cup of tea after all the exertion

Those Injector readings are really good Steve. Have you had them balanced somewhere?

Had a look at what codes it's thrown today - only P1300 and P1316 this time. Improvement over yesterday when it also had P0302. Really at a loss with this misfire now.
Seriously questioning my sanity and wondering if it's time to find a new car.


Then 3 hours later I spent nearly £350 on new front lower arm and rear arms...
Youv’e got it. Definitely you have got it. Sometimes it just creeps up without you knowing. Oh well.

Yesterday....
For a variety of reasons I used the tourer to go to work anf oaded the boot with some basic tools I needeed
Upon parking on site at least two people asked about it wanted to know what it is?
One of the builders called it a beast, and another moaned about a head gasket failure on his wife's rover.

Happened to mine after removing the undertray and forgot to put the edge screws back in to hold them ! The wind gets over them and forces them downwards into the road. Luckily I spotted it before it ripped the liner off above it! Moral of the story ..... check and double check!

Took Kims door cards off, sprayed the chrome bits a better colour. Cleaned the plastic parts, will do fabric tomorrow then fit the cards to Mo, who is cardless cos her cards are going into Kim (mo is changing from smokestone interior to sandstone). . . . . finally

Thats a good one. Where has it been based? Bonneville salt flats?

Fortunately I've managed to find something solid to weld too

Before



After



Well after a bit more dressing, I'll make the patch, and flash up the welder, needless to say I didn't bother to book the MOT

That's some mightily impressive rusting going on there, looks like someone covered it with some plop and let the tin worm crack on with it underneath........... Nice!
