Transport Guru MP Moderator Posts: 4947 Location: Bromley, Kent | Update. I installed my Rover ZERO temperature warning system, it is, to be honest, a little bit naff, but I like my genuine accessories and have never seen one installed [other than Cerbera's last 2 Metros] so thought I'd install it. I was putting it off for a while but no idea why as it took me about 1 hour to fit and it works 100%. Some photos: The dash LEDs, they currently sit above surface. I am going to to get a spare blank then eventually set about countersinking the black plastic circle into the blank so it looks a little more official.  The control unit that is placed under the dash:  The temperature probe which is located on the front of the car, barely visible to the untrained eye:  That's it for now!  | ||

Transport Guru MP Moderator Posts: 4947 Location: Bromley, Kent | DotMatrix - 24/8/2011 9:21 PM some nice and modernizing additions there Yeah, I've decided a 25 is too much to insure until at least May next year, so I want to refine and modernize my car a bit until then. | ||

 MP Admin Posts: 8747   Location: Greater London \ Essex | Looking good, can never understand how Rover needed a control box for that temperature indicator... reminds me of something we made for about £1 in A-Level electronics Boot tidy looks good, I'd go for one if I had a boot left after the audio install  | ||

Transport Guru MP Moderator Posts: 4947 Location: Bromley, Kent | This afternoon before I have to go to work for my grusome late turn I thought I'd put in my GTi grey carpet, and as always it took way longer that I thought it would, mainly because of a rounded off torx nut on the rear bench. I was also VERY happy with my floor pan with not even a SPEC of rust anywhere and everything included all insulation bone dry!  Here are some photos:  Waxoyl marks I previously had applied around the drain holes in the passenger footwell. I did check under the front interior blulkhead unsulation aswell and all was dry and rust free.  Driver's footwell.  Overall front floorpan.  Ill get some photos of the nice GTi carpet in soon. Totally forgot and wanted a sit down. lol Edited by 111Sli 3/9/2011 7:21 AM | ||

Transport Guru MP Moderator Posts: 4947 Location: Bromley, Kent | Today I waxoyled the underneath of the car for the second year in a row, last year's coat was a base so from now on every year will get not as major top up coats before the winter to keep the salt away. Some pics, as we all like lots of pics:  Excuse the pansy exhaust, it's all in hand.   | ||

Transport Guru MP Moderator Posts: 4947 Location: Bromley, Kent | Ok, yesterday Martin came down from Gloucester to sunny South East London for some Rover 600 headlight covers I had and bit of a road trip. I had made my miniature 'extension' Y- piece loom for the twin horns. Martin and I then hunted for somewhere in the bay to mount them, and we decided on the carbon canister mount of the side of the battery tray. [May vary for other cars- ie. MPis... etc..??] I have taken some photos of the mount and also made a rough diagram of the wiring 'loom' I made up. You will need: - 2 additional oval 2 pin female connectors. [From Rover 25 horns] - 1 addition male oval 2 pin connector. [From Rover 100/ Metro rear fog lamp (inside car behind rear light cluster on driver side)] - Soldering Iron & solder - Heatshrink or Insulation tape. - 8mm, 10mm & 13mm sockets, 1/2 ratchett and various extension bars.    You can see from the golden colour Rover 25 bracket it's positioning and how we had to slightly bend it out to avoid resting & vibrating on the battery tray.   Edited by 111Sli 19/9/2011 6:13 AM | ||

Transport Guru MP Moderator Posts: 4947 Location: Bromley, Kent | Something exciting! lol Something, I've wanted for a long time but never really been able to find in good enough condition for a half reasonable price, but here we are- I finally have one.  I had to modify it to take my radio controls from my previous steering wheel as I don't think any TF wheels came with radio remote [?] and if they did, good nick Silver ones will be crazy money and rare as! lol  The radio remote doesn't fit as snug as it does on normal airbag wheels as the curve profile is different from the standard Rover wheel. I'm keeping the MG airbag for a while til I can neatly enough cut the bottom of a Rover wheel, although I don't think I'll be able to keep the SRS light [MOT?] as it too low and in line with the cut, so I'm after the same type airbag as I had but with no light. The LED rattles around inside the new TF wheel.  I love it! Feels so much nicer and noticeably smaller than my old wheel but chunkier, so feels nicer to hold and steer. | ||
