Just warm your hands and ask her to relax before you start usually works for me!

Not many 75s in this part of the world... in fact, mine is the only Tourer I’ve ever seen in the flesh (metal?)

Yes actually I do have snake like hands



Quite good for bulb swaps and fitting brake pedal switches 👍

It's gone to Malvern, the wheels were all damaged, the front two were quite kerbed with worn tyres, the back two were badly damaged with gouges out of the rims, I'd never use them for safety reasons. The back tyres were good but I have two sets of Meteors with new tyres.

I only bought it for the number plate but had the car thrown in. It was a clutch failure. I was going to get it done but the garage it was taken to were told to scrap it by the previous owner. They had already ripped the tank filter out and destroyed the fuel lines, cut the coolant hoses. It would have cost more than it was worth to repair. I've had the carpet and interior out and all the usual bits to keep as spares. I'll put some pictures up when I get around to it.☺

Doing the timing belts on my ZT190 today.
Good progress made with everything apart and ready to put the new bits in tomorrow.
One nice surprise is what fell out when the wheelarch liner was removed.
