I had both bushes as bad as that when I changed them last October. One arm just fell out before I even asked it to!! Not sure what I'm looking at with the compressor?

The condenser is almost invisible since so many fins are missing!
Car feels heavier for having some now 😆

Mine was nowhere near that bad when I changed mine. If you are getting silver particles on the top of your engine cover, check your air con condenser.

Surprisingly it was still holding pressure, however the fan would go straight to high when ran so hadn’t used the AC knowing it could cause damage.
Don’t think there was enough fins left to be seen as particles on the engine cover!

The car also has a remote telestart for the fbh which didnt work, so a gander on here and I found the reset guide for it.
Now she can stand in the bedroom and get the car interior like toast before she goes out .
Your spoiling Karen Dave! Hope you are both ok?

Picked up my new (to me) 06 ZT 190+ saloon in Royal Blue (matches the 75 ) and drove it the 120 miles home. More than the 75 it cries out for a 6th gear. Great drive though. It has some of the usual issues which I will work through in due course.

I drove a 190 yesterday after curing a water issue, that gearbox was the first thing I noticed.

If I had a 190 as a keeper, I would fit a 75 V6 gearbox to help things a little.

I thought they were the same, thought it was just the diesels that had higher gearing?

The 190 has the 2.0 V6 gearbox fitted.
