MG ZR: Cams & Maps

[lolsteve]

So its been a pretty shitty weekend



Friday afternoon went to rolling road place to get exhaust welded and put on for a before/after map waited about 2 and a half -3 hours to be told nah too busy come back tomorrow. So bummed that I'd waited Friday I tried to do a fuel filter change as needed doing after having been say fir 18 months.  
Bottom nut connecting fuel line to filter rounded off and thw filter split so couldnt put it back together. so Friday had been a total shit stain of a day. 
Saturday had 2 friends come over to get some bits off bluey however we decided they see if we could do they one filter first , we tried molt grips, filing down the nut to a 13 and out all our force into it resulting in..The filter shearing off leaving the fuel line with a chunk of filter on it.  Became apparent it was a original rover part and it had been cross threaded into the filter. Some top class build quality there.
phoned rolling road place to ask of they can do a fuel line change too as this one line runs from engine bay to fuel tank. They said they'd do it but they were closing in an hour and a half so better be quick if we want to get it to them. Luckily it was only a mile down the road so with a quick trip to halfords to grab a tow rope my friends zs made a very rough towing down to the garage. note the clenched buttocks all the way down and the 10 learner drivers who apparently were learning to drive on that road at that specific time. 
So that was Saturday, nothing gained and everything lost. 
Saturday evening saved it through beers and nazi zombies 
Sunday was snow


So that's the weekend not been the best I've had tbh cost me a fair bit and the only thing I have to show for it is a halfords tow rope of which the metal hook clip thing has broken
