  • In this video I clean some life back into an old MG ZT Turbo diesel, I bought the car locally from a tradesman who had used it to get him to and from work after owning the car for 14 years, unfortunately it's been neglected for the past few years and needs some TLC .... That's where I come in.

    the best way to remove all of the alcantara pilling is with a cordless beard trimmer.blade flat on seat and just mow
    it like a lawn.

      Or you can use a fabric shaver/fuzz remover. That worked great for me, and it costs only arround 8€ ~ 7 pounds

    I live in the US and I have never seen one. I never would have known that it was 14 years old, it is rather funny how a car that you have never seen before doesn't look old because you don't have anything to compare it to.

    A tip from a country that suffers from a lot of tar spots (Sweden), is that we use it as one of the steps in washing. Covering all of the car up to the handles in tar remover, then pressure washing of!

    Love the Rover 75 , I bought the 2.5 V6 Tourer a couple of years ago . I had always fancied one and I had just been through a terrible time getting over a serious RTC . And as my vectra has just been written off and the insurance paid out for total loss . I thought it would be nice to have a change and a bit of something new .
    I found the 75 V6 Tourer and paid top price of £800 for it as I knew the engine was bullet proof and was recommended that engine and model. And it sounded beautiful and drove graciously and so comfortable . I had it 2 weeks and I could have cried and nearly did , the gearbox went on it and I was told to fix it would mean the engine and gearbox would need dropping out to change the clutch and pressure plate . The quote was a further £900 !!!. I couldn’t afford it and as I had bought it from a private seller, I couldn’t get my money back. In the end I sold it on eBay for £120 😢😭🤬.
    But despite this I’d love to own a British racing green MG ZT 75 Tourer with black leather and silver alloys .
    I love peanut butter and strawberry jam sandwiches. Discovered it after my son moved to America and suggested I tried it. But it has to be on thick Hovis white bread 😊.
    Really enjoyed this video and great work. ✌️😉

    Thanks for going through the effort of making these videos on top of the work itself. Pretty sure plenty of clean cars are clean because of you. I've always been on top of the cleanliness of my car but the videos still help. Here's a question and maybe an idea for a video: how you maintain your tools and keep them running? What's your routine? I would imagine the vac needed good attention after the car which had fire extinguisher emptied inside.

    Great job once again. As for your question, Barbeque sauce on pizza instead of marinara. I thought it sounded gross, but it's actually really good. I don't like pizza without it anymore. Also making a hot honey ham sandwich with a glazed donut instead of bread. Cut the donut in half and put the glazed side in (towards the meat) put on your meat and toppings and pan fry. It is so good.

  • @bobthebarsteward
    @bobthebarsteward Před 4 lety +1

    Try some sandpaper on those alcantara bobbles, works a treat and no worries about cutting skin or fabric. Bonnet release cable is a common fault on those cars, it's quite often the small plastic box on the wing that the cable goes into into that's at fault, not the cable itself, that and the two catches in the slam panel being bolted on too tight, slacken the small bolts off just enough to allow a little movement and clean them out. Sorted.

    I had the ZT190 (2500cc V6) for 14 years, traded it in 3 years ago. It had a FSH inc. the cambelt changed twice. Great cars, just a shame the clutch causes expensive problems, and the handbrake continually needs adjusting. The one you sorted, at least had seats that weren't ripped like they usually are! That diesel engine (M47R) the R means restricted performance, is a grean engine, and some in the Zt/75 community have tuned them to pushing 250 bhp and tons of torque!
