Hiya all how you doing, some know from the enthusiast site for those who don't I'll introduce myself.

My names David i'm 23 and from North Wales, yet i still struggle on this day with the Welsh laungage lol, I can understand it but I've always got to reply in English.

I'm a current owner of Rover 75 Connie 2.0L Diesel on paper, but its much more its Combo of the ZT exterior trim and the walnut interior of the 75. :) Verse the HYBRID best of both worlds. :) Which is having few problems at the moment, but I'm not the quitting type. it WILL be fixed ;)

I've joined to gain as much infomation as I can regarding the V8 engine. my dad's put a bid on a ZT and so far things are looking good. Cross my fingers.

Plus as well you've got to have a banter with the lads after were all driving gyms of a treully brilliant car. :) Mine may not be a V8 but still has a heart of MG and Rover behind it. :)

I had it when I bought the car already on, got the car remapped by Phill T4 160 and a bit more after upgarding the intercooler. :)

Well worth the jouney :)

Had to replace the MAF sensor before the remap, its the orginal Bosch and not a universel junk. ;)

Had one on the car when I bought, Replaced the maf sensor and hello 160 bhp upgrade from Phill T4. Well worth the trip and a bit more after upgarding the intercooler.

Replaced it so I wouldn't have to replace the o-rings that were prone to failure. ;)

Hopefully I've sorted it out the eletrics issure today, hopefully a good drive in the morning shall power up the alternator. Lack of use kills cars and batterys lol.

Seems to be a lump of carbon based debris under the car :)
Best sort that out before getting it of the axle stands.........

This is was a job I did a few months back, had the bottom arm and bushes done, drop links, coil springs and mounts, and the track rod ends.

I've copper greased the hell out of the underneath, there was quite a bit of debris but all cleared now.

This is one I'll maintain to the end. :)
