What I did with my Rover 75/MG ZT today? - Page 639

Today I replaced the n/s lower control arm and Bush.

I didn't like it and never want to do it again.

Oh dear, the o/s items ate still sitting here waiting for me to fit them!

To be on the safe side, I have just completed a major upgrade on the fuelling system.
This is to help alleviate any potential problems, whilst uplifting fuel.

Great idea, didn't even know that gadget existed.

Is there one to warn me not to pour 'milk' over my battered fish, thinking its tomato sauce.

Warning! Milk... Milk... not tomato sauce.

My wife bought a biscuit tin. She recorded her voice on the little recording device inside the lid. 'Leave the biscuits alone' now shouts at me when I lift the lid. Damnit'

Car in garage today for a good waxing (Waxoyl) in the nether regions.

Parked it up and started using the coupe

Lobbed the four wheels from Mrs MB's car in the boot of the ZT drove to Turbo Dave's and used his tyre changer to unmount the tyres.

How much easier was it to use a modern tyre changer rather than my old walkaround

I then drove to the the wheel refurb place in Washington dropped off the four wheels and then onto the refuse centre to dump the four gash tyres.

So next week I'll pick up the shiny new wheels and fit the shiny new tyres, then hopefully they'll maintain their pressure........if not it'll be an expensive trial

Anybody know how to remove the upper shroud. The Haynes book told me to remove the instruments and it should slide out. I cannot see any connection between the instruments and the 'leather'. M.
