What I did with my Rover 75/MG ZT today? - Page 751

Did nothing on the MG today, but come Thursday when I finish for the week the now very dead alternator will be coming off.

Just bought some pagid rear discs. They are painted so should not rust? We shall see.

Best not press the brakes once you fit them to the car David, you won't want to wear off the paint

If its the barrel centre part they last a while, but now we have salted roads mine are rusting up.

Give the centres a extra coat of silver paint before fitting using the original coat as an under coat, then they should last a few years as mine have, once you see a dark patch appearing re-coat, you can do the edge also

mine have been on since 2013, second photo was taken in 2016, and they still look like that now 2017, maybe need doing in the spring ?

Got snowed on but finally put all the front end back together after waiting for the ducting to replace the air intake - much easier with bumper removed.

Sounds much better now with twin horns and looks better with stainless screws underneath. Greased all the screws for the ducts when refitting and adjusted the bonnet pins so it now sits a bit better with the wings.

took a while for the outdoor temperature display to read the correct temperature instead of -30C, I know it was cold but....

Pressed the snowflake button and drove around with heated seats, knitback driving gloves, cravat, and a quilted smoking jacket.

Took my heater matrix out and flushed (the missus has been complaining about cold feet). All went well, up to temperature, system bled, just starting to replace the covers and .... drip .... drip .... drip.
Break the offending joint, liberal smear of silicone, run niece to Heathrow in t'other half's Toyota (Made in England). Re-test on return and seems all good this time. Will check again in the light tomorrow before tidying up.
Next job is a back box.
