Now THAT'S a clean bay! Nice! Wish I could find the time to achieve that level of detailing myself!

[red robbo]

Thanks everyone!! She's not perfect by a long shot, but not bad for 10 1/2 years old.
Here's a couple of interior shots. The inside didn't quite receive the attention that the outside did, due to me sagging by the end of it!

Black Oak and a MG ZT leather handbrake grip.

Same colour as mine but much cleaner, where in Cornwall are you going?

Lizard for a week. Kennack to be precise. Around a good 700 mile round trip, with a few miles thrown in the middle for good measure!
Sadly, I'll break the 100,000 miles on the clock. ��

Love the seats with the mg logo! Where did you get the floor mats? Awesome car, credit to you keeping it so clean. I'm looking forward to the how to thread for cleaning the engine bay!

Car mats and seat logos from eBay.
Engine bay cleaning as simple as bag off the alternator (although some folk say it's not necessary) and ecu, spray EVERYTHING with Swarfega Jizer water rinsable parts degreaser, agitate a few parts with an old toothbrush, then either hose off or power wash off (I power washed off). Spray with Autoglym vinyl and rubber care (or summat of your own choice). Admittedly, it collects dust! ��
I did this over 2 years ago, I've just kept on top of it with a rag and the Autoglym vinyl and rubber care stuff.
Never had trouble power washing the bay, but do it at your own risk!!

[SteveH]

Cheers will give it a try.

Are the seat logos just transfers you iron on or something then?

[p_b82]

nice looking car that - my engine bay has the 'well used' look about it.... i just about get round to doing the paintwork once a month, but i just cba with the under bonnet stuff....

with the amount of leaks and mud due to no under tray I'd be there more time than not I reckon :)

[jaorton]

That shine...

[red robbo]

Yeah, just iron on. They've been on over 12 months now, and they ain't going nowhere! I laid the backrest down flat, well, as far as it would adjust, then with a combo of luck, judgement and my good eye, I placed 'em on the backrest, then gingerly put a towel over 'em, being careful not to move the logo ( I couldn't see logos with the towel covering [So be careful!]), then pressed a steaming hot iron on them..........and just about got away with it.:D

Cheers. I'm lucky, no leaks of any fluid..............
But I don't have an under tray.

[SteveH]

I don't have an undertray and no leaks on mine either. Just some slightly rusty areas!

[john180]

Now that is a clean car! Very very tidy!

Have fun in cornwall!

[red robbo]

Cheers chaps. Setting off at 3 am Sat morning. It'll be gentile drive to the Lizard.
But don't worry, the 180 will have a damn good thrashing in between!:thumbsup:

Thanks! All our Zed's look gorgeous!
But.......i'm getting itchy feet. I'm getting unnaturally drawn towards a Renault Megane RenaultSport F1 R26 230.
My Son has had a Renault Megane RenaultSport 225 for sometime.
I'm trying to shake it off...............

[LozMachine]

Borrow one for a couple of weeks and then get back in the Zed.
