Is anyone based in or near Newcastle?
Hi, all dear members.

Is anyone based in or near Newcastle?

I'v bought a leather steering wheel, Throttle Body and a BMC-CDA induction kit, but don't have any tools or a place to try to fit them into my ZS.

By any chance that someone can lend me some tools? I'll drive to ur place when u are free, so I can try to install them I'll be appreciated for that and gona buy us a drink.

I'm really run out my money and cann't afford to buy a set of tools...

Should be good enough to do the jobs you want to do.. You will need some more tools eventually though.. MG ownership (for me) means having a good tool kit or knowing a friendly garage. Unfortunately my friendly garage is in Manchester

Go buy a cheap socket / spanner set, will only cost a few quid.

Failing that surely someone you can borrow a few tools from? All simple things to fit

caled is just really nicecaled is just really nicecaled is just really nicecaled is just really nicecaled is just really nice
Which friendly garage in Manchester?
And that tool kit looks alright, I have a smaller version with just the 1/4" sockets in. The only obvious omission would be a torque wrench, but you wont get one of them for ?9.99.
Not new, any way.
