Repaired one of my two wrecked T4's today after they'd been plugged into a car with some extreme electrical gremlin roaming around at Carter Bar on Sunday
Let's just say I wasn't happy when I discovered the price of the parts required for the T4 Mobile Plus Still you can't beat a good rant followed by a spirited drive home to save you from punching someone on the nose Brian |

I didn't change the glow plugs on the MGZT today as it is a 190 but I did on the FL 1 TD4 and I am pleased to say all went nice no snapped off ones.
Took it for a good drive to get the engine heated up removed all the manifold etc and used a good six sided socket with and good extension bar and 20" ratchet how to will follow as it is the same job for the R40 diesel. Arctic.

Removed the scrivets from the sill trim, removed the bumper and changed the bonnet release cables, and drivers side front wing.
Colour match isn't perfect but looks considerably better in terms of shape Just need to sort out a couple more niggles, but apart from two oil changes and a CV joint, not bad for a car I've done 11,000 miles in seven months. Oh and the sunroof doesn't leak, nor does the boot, just in case you thought I was talking about it's big brother Brian |
