What I did with my Rover 75/MG ZT today? - Page 957

SideValve · 5th May 2019, 21:26

New radiator (£58 + vat :¬)
Engine Oil & filter
Gearbox Oil

After the new plugs & air filters last weekend I reckon that's enough maintenance for a while...

Darn, jinxed it

There is a spare wheel on F/O/S which vibrates between 65-70mph. I'll need to get that balanced properly.
Apart from that, one of the new door cards rattled. Looks like I'll have to take it off again and check the studs.
Got back home at 02:40 and yes, someone had parked in my spot

What kind of nutter drives round at daft o clock in the morning anyway?

It wasn't me, I was at Woodall services being reamed out of nearly four quid for a cup of coffee

Got up, filled the ZT boot with a load of cack, and headed South.

Unloaded boot in the South, drank coffee, ate biscuits, frabbed with a couple of V8 kit cars, then drove east further filled belly with curry, then after an appropriate pause in proceedings, I then drove North.

After feeling a little less than my usual self, stopped at Woodall Services to top up caffeine.......took out second mortgage, drank powerful cup of coffee, then drove home via filling station, £78

Dismantled poorly T4 equipment, ate tea, took dog for walk.

Looked in dismay at the internals of a T4 interface that looks like it has been on expedition with Jacques Cousteau

So 666 miles covered in 24 hours, and tomorrow is not tied to be much better.

Ho Hum

Drove it. Admired it. Parked it.

Took Kims front offside wheel down to Grahams tyres on Leppins Lane to sort out a deflating problem. The back of the rim was crusty. Hopefully all is now sorted out

Subjected a lady customer to an avalanche of info about our cars. Bet she was glad when I left

Then on the way out there was another 75 on the road outside the garage. It wasn't hers

I'm sure I used that place when I had my place on Middlewood Road.......might be a fading memory though, this was before they built the superflop, I mean tram

Yeah, I think they've been there forever. I always use them. Not had any problems as yet.

Towed the van down to Brean, can't think why I washed her yesterday??? Heavy rain most of the journey, but now easing off.
