I tried ordering that particular drop forge bearing from Autodoc, and got some other NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD- instead, and absolutely no satisfaction from them despite many emails and threats. Beware!

To be fair John, I suspect Bahuha's Emporium isn't a subsidiary of Autodoc

By the way, I reckon the MG6 would look good on a set of gridspokes

I can certainly confirm Frosty is a lovely example. Very nice indeed !!

Nah, he's a shoddily old 1800 Heather........he does look nice when he's clean though

At least the heater works, in fact all of his features work, in fairness though he's rather basic

He makes a canny discourtesy car though

No idea Steve, none at all, but at that price it may be worth finding out

Mr crappycrimp here😀

I would just like to thank Brian for all his work and the cuppas today he’s a grumpy old goat with a heart of gold really.

In my defence I was unaware of the abs issue that was the previous owner although I’m not happy I’ve been running around without airbags since June 2018 (and she’s had two MOTs in that time).

I have my list of fixes which will be addressed ASAP and Brian and I did have fun ragging the car down the road creating smokescreens🤣🤣

I notice Brian hasn’t mentioned my rather spiffing metallic green 190 callipers I think he secretly liked them😎.

Oh and frosty does look good but I like the silver primertalic ZT as well.

Thanks again Brian

Richard

Started on the list of fixes provided by Marinabrian replaced drivers side rear backplate and wheel bearing which fixed the abs issue that has been driving me nuts for the last 2 months. Also replaced the rear disks and pads and took the opportunity to paint the rear callipers to match the front ones. All in all not a bad days work made easier by using my tame mechanics lift and tools😀

Coded up a newly repaired ECM to the ZT and covered 240 trouble miles on test.

Considering the state of the ECM as received, I was dubious as to whether I could repair it or not..........looks good so far
