My MG ZS repair diary

lol, yeah the heater motor is the 3 bolts in a circle on the bottom of the heater box.

I replaced a split cv gaiter the other day, I noticed it while fitting poly bushes to the arb links and mounts.

Good going, always a relief when they get through.

Good read this thread! top work on getting the old girl fixed and still using it! Sounds like your getting every pennies worth out of the car

Fitted front ARB bushes as the knocking noise came back.
Sprayed my winter wheels I was trying to sell, I did it on bank holiday Monday, it was a hot day so they dried really nice. 5 cans from the £1 shop.

Look good.

I did a spare wheel, OK till I tried to put the clear lacquer top coat on, horrid mess, but its only for a spare!!!

Couple of jobs I finaaly got round to doing.
Rear parking sensors.



New front bumper as I broke my repaired one towing it to the garage last year.
LED D.R.L on a MK1 front fog light switch so it looks factory-ish.
Also painted the front fogs yellow with glass paint forom hobbycraft.

Won some cloudy headlights for £21 in Aug.
Took them to my bodyshop guy in the hope of a polish up, tells me he has a new method.
800 wet and dry, then laquer on top.



I fitted them on Friday.

They look good, but I'd be concerned about how durable a lacquer is going to be on them.

12 months MOT, woohoo.
2 advisorys, minor corrosion on a rear brake pipe and leaking water pump which got sorted the same day.
Happy days.

Lights look good, well done with the MOT.

O/E from the factory they have lacquer to prevent U/V discouloration.
If one sorts them out one should re-lacquer.
