I saw it on FB, but these extra pics are mighty

And I thought my road trip to Norway* was going to be adventurous.... although granted mine is currently still at risk of HG blowing lol

I didn't get to the post office - but got a box ready for the injectors, so will get them sent Monday AM hopefully...

Epic trip though - rather Jealous

*Won't be happeneing now as friend I was going to visit is moving back to Sweden

Do it! As the MG slogan goes, "life's too short not too".

Glad we did it but could do with a holiday to recover from it.

Great story and great pics.

Wish I had the guts to do it, even the planning would put me off.

Glad the car went well, just shows how good they are. Didnt look out of place anywhere.

Cheers Peter .

Yeh, the car did well considering its age and mileage. A chaffed pipe and a master cylinder could go on any make or model of this age.

When you go to Norway, whatever you do, make sure you do "Path of the trolls" it was probably my fave part of the whole trip. Absolutely stunning. Geiranger is a must.

No rush with the injectors, the ZS needs to come off the road for a bit, I'm not quite happy with it at the minute to such an extent I'm looking at another "sensible" car whereby the 2 ZS's will be toys.

It needs bushes, brakes, a ball joint, indicators fixing, coilovers re-furbing and a bit of paint which the Swiss jet wash removed for me!
A gasket between the wastegate and manifold has just gone while I was setting up my new boost controller too.
All I'm saying is I wont be in a position to put your injectors in straight away I'm afraid. All these problems have become apparent literally in the last couple of days

I've been swamped with work all day so not been able to get out yet either - I've got the injectors boxed, but will keep hold of them until you are in a position to test it. It might be that I am ready to try again sooner than you, so saves us a bit of postage.

ping me on FB or here once you are in a position to swap em in I reckon will be the best bet.

I think mine needs a new IC hose - it is looking like boost leak is not a long time away from happening - and where it is, will be a bumper off job I reckon!

To be honest, I think that is a good idea. Don't want you to send them under false hope of what I'll have chance to do with them in the near future.

All sorts of ideas at the moment about which way I'm going to take the car now I'll have the luxury of it being a second car. Some of which are pretty naughty but we'll see.

Hope you get the boost leak sorted
