Bled some more air out of the coolant system- third and hopefully final time after water pump change. Heater was gurgling, so took her to top of my drive which has a bit of slope. Ran her facing uphill and downhill, heater now hot with no noises.
Turned off the the Airbag light by highly scientific jiggling of wires, undoing yellow connectors and refixing (battery disconnected for 30 minutes first).
Short test spin to be sure brakes are biting after the replumbing I did.
Replaced one number plate bulb, then found both were out of action! Cleaned the contacts, and after some faffing both lit.
Will give her a wash and she's off for retest on Tuesday Morning.

Cool

Took Banana for a wee run. Seems ok at the moment. But will not be happy till she has been plugged into a T4 to find out the starting issue.

The only thing I have done today is order two o rings for the aircon pipes from DMGRS. The next thing is to fit them and get the aircon re-gased. The bonnet locks since i took them apart and cleaned and greased them work like silk now.

Smile Shiny MG!

Washed, clayed, waxed and polished the ZT-T today, quite pleased with the result.
Used the Farecla clay mitt - does a good job.

Took the Nuk to the local tip full of garden waste, queued for about 30 minutes to get in and was out in 5 minutes, put the star spokes in boot ready for a trip to City Powder coaters in the morning.

Washed and started to clay. First time I've clayed the car and thankfully nothing too nasty coming off, just tree sap up top and loads of tar further done. I've finish tomorrow evening before starting to touch up a few stone chips with my new Chipex kit.
