Cleaned out the throttle body this morning, as there was some oil in there.
Also ordered all the bits I need for my baffled catch tank set up. :)
And put my company logo on the engine cover, wanted it nice and subtle. :) https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...599db3835f.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...c9fe354364.jpg

Got a new thermostat to fit, and whilst I'm there I'm going to replace the spark plugs. :)

Also got a better intake hose to fit, rather than the alloy one. :)

Looking Good! :)

Cheers mate 👍

Well today didn't go as planned, got thermostat stripped out. 90 degree plastic pipe snapped, was a nightmare to get out. Eventually got it out. Then the 90 degree pipe wasn't right, didn't line up at all. (kit was in the car when I brought it). Now ordered a genuine kit from Dmgrs. So currently sat on the drive with rags shoved in hoses and engine, till new kit arrives. Did get all the spark plugs changed though. Looked OE. Can't do the cold air feed, as I can't move the car to gain access.

I would have left the bolt out!

Would rather do it properly, don't want that pipe popping out. Would make a mess lol :)

New kit arrived from DMGRS, great service as always. All fitted, bleed, coolant topped up. Happy days. :Dhttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...561ffad776.jpg

Good man.

Must be time for a wash by now surely ... ;)

Cheers Dan. :D

I actually washed it Saturday lol......even know I couldn't use it haha :crazy:

First drive since Christmas day, so thought Dan would like to see a few photos. :Dhttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...8574f3d8ae.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...781a28b41a.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...3a012c85c5.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...edad6daddb.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...6705964700.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...1ea86cba72.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...75900a99a4.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...7d4bf7def4.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...f1f423a2bc.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...b37c045f54.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...3b2c833ab4.jpg

Looking good.

Clean as a whistle ... :)

See your side skirts have the same issue as mine had with the clips and some bulging. Any plans with that - not sure what can be done though to be honest.

Cheers Peter. :)

Cheers Dan, not sure yet. Need to get front bumper painted, so will ask if anything can be done at the same time. :)

First drive out in a while, drove spot on. Needs a good machine polish, and headlights need doing again......but love driving it, seems to pull loads better than my old one. :Dhttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...d5bb77f93b.jpg

Still a good looking car considering the age.

Yeah, it is......gets some looks still. :)

Thought I'd give the old girl a good scrub and polish. :Dhttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...c63dc4e2b8.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...74c9f9bfc5.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...2bd4b57804.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...a0988dce48.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...dcd884db35.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...d276ced19f.jpg

WTF ..... ???!!!!

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2004-MG-Z...0AAOSwNlla34aw

shame, such a uptogether car.

Can't afford to have 2 cars with the new business. Really don't want to sell. But needs must. :(

Shame - it was well loved. Good luck selling and hope it goes to a good new keeper.

Thanks Dan, I'm gutted.....im hoping so. :)

Sent from my F5121 using Tapatalk

It didn't sell, and I'm actually quite happy she didn't......as I was in 2 minds about selling her......so I'm going to get cracking on with her. :)

Good.

As and when you decide to move it on, there may be someone on here willing to give it a home, who may be in a better position than right now....;)

Mmmm.........wonder who that may be? ;)

Well deserved snow foam, wash, polish and wax. :)

And at a meet with a mate. :) https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...9ea78a82b0.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...0ae84139a1.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...659cb963a6.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...7ce2f0dfaf.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...dd5fa1bfca.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...7e4ef63143.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...0af2ea8139.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...471d5aa241.jpg
