What I didn't do to my Rover 75 MGZT today

Was rudely woken by the sound of Mrs Noc's CDT cranking over without firing up this morning.

Told her to take my car to work and went back to sleep.

Having my first cup of coffee for the day I thought it is a long time since I checked the plenums, and we have had a fair bit of rain lately.

So that was the first port of call, and luckily it was as dry as a dead dingo's donger. Mmm, less than a quarter of a tank showing on the gauge, so next check was a listen to the ITP........ and the sound of silence.

So swapped it out for a spare from the garage.

Now I've mentioned before about the unknown cowboys who have worked on this car before, and lo and behold they had been in the tank too. The static pump was not clipped in and floating around.

And can anyone spot the problem in this photo?

Yeeehaaa!
