I don't do body kits but I'd make the exception for this

This was how the holy one kicked the doors in of the Rover community.

Sod your feeding of the five thousand, we’re off to maccy d’s, if I can get over the speed bump.

If your too much of a snob to park up in maccies for a coffee then don't roll with us.

Keeps going on and off and resetting itself back to 1.00am, often when going over bumps. Either a loose connection or dry joint I reckon.

Loose power connections. 4 pins on the back I think - ground, permanent live, switched live and "lights on" dimmer. At worst, the first 3 loose will cause all those problems and at best it's either of the first two loose.

Cheers Johnny - will take a look this weekend when I swap the wooden dash trim over from the parts car

The coupe's going to get a bit of love this spring/summer with some new front struts to make sure the MOT doesn't mention them again.

It'll also get fluids change - brake, gearbox oil & coolant - and a fuel filter if I can finally get the pipe nut loose

In addition to all the usual service items.

And I'll hopefully get round to fitting the shortshift gearlinkage (also courtesy of 1234dist) with a rebushed selector yoke to firm up the gearchange.

Get some pictures up of the new parts mule Arron.
