What I did with my Rover 75/MG ZT today? - Page 1349

bl52krz · 22nd March 2022, 15:05

awhile out shopping, Decided to fill up the V6 with the best 97 octane at B.P. garage.Took 33.67 litres.£61.58. £1.89.9 per litre. At the moment doing 23.7 mpg. This is just Local journey’s. When I was putting Asda fuel in, I was getting a little bit more than 20 mpg using it the same, local journey’s. So although dearer, I am getting around 2.5 mpg more. It also runs better, and starts easier. So not really bothered about the extra cost..

New bonnet struts from SGS arrived in the post today so popped them on. 5 minute job.

Finally put the car back together after fitting the Mini handbrake compensator and returned my headlining!! Not bad for a sunny days work!

I think I might have solved Mo's lurching problem.
I tightened up a loose throttle cable.
Revs still bounce, but I am now convinced that is a sticking idle air control valve issue.
I'll try to clean that out today.

Started Part 1 of my Oil and Filters Service yesterday on Leslie my 75, what a Faff to change a airfilter on the diesel! at least next time it will be a breeze!

Got out early doors and fitted new MAF and PCV filter

Fitted some chrome securing points to the boot floor of the ZTT. Totally pointless, but they do look that bit nicer than the black ones.

Fitted new mtec front discs and brembo pads

Brake judder and cheap pad squeal now banished

Took the Bear out for a 3 figure blast, 69.9 mph, down to Liskeard. Love watching the fuel gauge move almost as quick the car.

That burble sends you to sleep at 69.9.
