theboynoz is on a distinguished road
MG ZS MK2 - XPower Grey 120+ - theboynoz

Well i'm back, I did miss the club and the cars, and after driving the wee beasty home tonight I remember why I loved it! I may have even found a name, and break with tradition of naming all my cars the same, but that is something to think on.

Anyways, the pics after purchasing;













So for the list of work, a brief drive home meant some issues surfaced, they are;

Throttle cable, lots of play (2 second job tomorrow lunch time) - Fixed, no issue at all, 2 seconds!
Wind noise at motorway speeds - Nearside front door (Check rubbers, fix/replace as needed) - Believed to be clogged rain channels, will clean, leaked into passenger footwell
Tyres perishing (Replace as required, but good tread for now on most)
Alternator Whine (Possibly bearings, maybe something else needs further investigation) – Second hand unit fitted, noise gone!
Ruddy good clean (Including white vinegar to draw out smell of fags) – Done, not great but better than it was
Wheels! (Defo needing a refurb, maybe subtle colour change too) – Pricing up
MOT (Runs out in 3 weeks! Advisories already fixed!) - Booked in tomorrow 08 MAY 2015, checked car over and fixed blown bulbs
Dent on bonnet/Boot (May fix/replace, will se on how annoying it is and spare cash) – Pricing up
Totally standard! (Does it want anything or just site stickers ) - Site stickers Done, that’s enough for now
Handbrake (Pulls too high, will see if MOT passes it first) – Passed MOT, needs adjusting now I have fixed the brakes :S
Service (Due one, FSH though!) – Currently in garage with a lot of service parts sat next to it, will be done in next few days

Lets see what else crops up over the next few weeks.....

Should keep me busy during lunch breaks!
