I have not been on for a while but been busy with getting cars on the road
my mk2 zs is still on the road and still going and only just hit 27000 miles in the last few days
back in 2014 I purchased a 1.8ltr turbo with possible head gasket failure so ripped the head off and I had the biggest surprise ever the head gasket had been replaced with the uprated one and it turned out to be a cracked piston so the engine was ripped out and sent to a engine reconditioners to be fully rebuilt and that was on the road for the 1st December 2014 and in feb this year this I purchased a ztt v6 with only 55000 miles on the clock and that suspected cam belt failure as the person I purchased was reversing in the drive and it went bang and would not restart so checked it all out no cam belt whatsoever and it turned over and started straight away and that was after a year of standing in the drive at the home of the previous owner. so the best £200 which I had paid for it. so at the moment it is at my friends garage having some work as it failed the mot on broken rear spring, two front drop links and discs/pads all round and having the belts changed.
on a completely different note I am now an owner of a genuine mg rover t4 diagnostic machine which I purchased new. before anybody asks can I do remaps the answer will be no all I can do is a diagnostic on your vehicle
not sure what the actual going rate is for diagnostics so I am thinking £50 plus mileage if I have to travel or you can come to me.
