Well the mechanicle stuff on my rover 75 connoisseur tourer is now repaired it has 12 months MOT and its also taxed and home from Scotland BIG thx to the Luti's and maxxedross for collecting, storing and doing the work for me. So far the car stands me at ?1200 it also needed new O rings on the intercooler as it was not getting any boost (did them today at home) it still averaged 47mpg driving it home from Scotland with no turbo.

Still to do is the n/s wing just bashed it out for now

New Genuine Driveshaft ?47 inc p&p (ebay zwarehouse)
New lower arm ?90
New n/s Strut ?67
Car ?875

you cheeky git!!! :boxing:

ZT is no way an old mans car!!!! I am well impressed with the ride and handling of it compared to the ZS. Although mine does have the 'sports pack' apparently which peeps can no longer buy :unsure: so here I am hoping my rear springs don't break any time soon lol.

To much a big car to lug about on an already highly stressed engine, if anything a 260 V8 is by far the better car.
