What I did with my Rover 75/MG ZT today? - Page 13

BaroqueMoon · 10th February 2014, 02:13

Today I washed the 75 with a Gerni I bought today. Washed with plain water then sonax car wash then rinsed again.
Very impressed with the results especially evident with the wheels and in the wheel arches.
Hand wash then Wax next then clean the concrete drive. Then the patio. Then the outside of the house, then...well you get the idea

If you put a screw driver or similar onto a notch on the cap and tap it round with a rubber hammer

Been driving my ZT like a mad man and the fuel consumption has gone up to 20.4 mpg from 19.1 mpg around town. Whooppeeeeee

Went out to my 75 at 710am and pressed the unlock button, nothing

tried my jump start battery, still nothing, waiting for RAC to arrive and late for work !

Funny as when I drive my ZT with bit zest she seems much crisper on throttle too.

Broken battery I assume.....

Annoying of course, on the other hand; if that's all, it's not that worse.

Thanks. That crossed my mind but then I decided as its plastic, its not actually got a problem and the missus had just made a cup of tea it could wait for another day :¬)

Would be so much easier if they'd put it under the bonnet.

Removed a broken rear spring and fitted a nice set of lowering springs
