The Dreaded MOT
Ok, so a few weeks ago i asked my mechanic friend take a look at my ZT with it's MOT almost due...
He advised me that it would need a o/s rear upper suspension arm as it was badly corroded and a wishbone for the front right, it had slight wear but also had a damaged rubber.
I sourced a pair of the aforementioned arms, cleaned them up a little and painted them with a couple of coats of hammerite. Also bought a new wishbone and bush.
Last weekend, My friend got started changing out the rear arm and rang me to inform me a spring was broken as well. So i rushed out to find him some replacements, i got a pair (been there done that with a single one) and delivered them to my friend, who promptly mentioned that the other spring was also broken (i knew it!!!) anyway, as he had to change both springs anyway, he decided he may as well change the other arm as well.
O/S rear upper arm
O/S rear upper arm
Broken Spring
new bits fitted...
All that was needed then was a couple of numberplate bulbs and off she went for her MOT..... And passed :)
So now perhaps i can spend a little time on her and tidy her up a little...
