Hope it's not a rotten disappointment Trigger. 150k covered in the grim north, in potentially 25 grim northern winters.

Same here, I've been worrying all night about it! It was up for £300 last month with a running issue but I've spoke to the seller who said it was a split pipe that's been fixed... I'm currently on my way up in a MG ZT 190 which is the perfect car for a 300 mile round trip!

We should maybe put together some obscure videos of working on cars as well as test driving.

 

Did anybody watch that programme 'An MG is born' with Mark Evans (?) - it was great watching the mechanical aspect of that in detail as opposed to the brief overview on Wheeler Dealers/Car SOS etc. I really enjoyed that MG series.

 

Quite how many people would want to hear my northern accent swearing like a trooper at a stripped down M30 engine after a heavy night on the booze I don't know...

I spent Friday preparing my Land Rover Series 2a 109 for new paint, got down to the unit yesterday (late, because hung over) to apply the paint. Then it started raining. And then the leaking unit roof started dripping rain water all over the Land Rover, which would have had fresh paint on it if I'd got up on time.

 

Bullet dodged! It's official... beer saves time & money :-)

Looks like my drive after an oil change....Forgotten new sump plug washer and a few too many drips of oil

Posted

It's a banjo bolt arrangement at the caliper end and the washer on the new hose was slightly bigger than the old one, so it landed on a rusty surface. There's a stupid plastic shield (which was removed in the picture so I could break out the blowtorch) so I didn't realise what had happened until I saw the rapidly expanding pool of brake fluid.

Quite why you would choose to neglect a vehicle like that and be proud of it is beyond me

It's the 954cc TU9 petrol with 4sp manual box. Pulls well, serviced about 5000 miles ago and got new plugs recently.

Waiting to hear back from the seller at the moment.
