2004 rover 75 1.8turbo. Odyssey blue *Withdrawn from Sale*

Seriously think it is time to sell on my 54 reg 1.8 turbo auto
Have just spent the weekend replacing water pump, timing belt, and as one or two were perished, i changed all the cooling system hoses with new( including prt).
Finishing off, filled the coolant and had a leak from somewhere, only to find it was the radiator, i must have put a hole in it with one of the hose clips as it was pretty tight getting them out and in!

Have done a lot to car since i bought it. Head gasket and turbo needed replacing when i bought it, which i have done.

I will try and list all the other mods etc i have done since then;

full hk set up
illuminated sunvisors
auto dimming rear mirror
walnut steering wheel
powerfolds
rear sunblind
footwell lighting
walnut trim to interior
walnut gearknob
auto boot lid modification
zenon headlights
roewe bumper with splitter
new battery

It has one of seans android units in it with dvb, reversing camera and dvr, but this i think is better me selling separate.

As said at the top of page there is now a hole in radiator, havent the time and patience at the moment to replace it( old age i think), swmbo is getting pretty hacked off with me tinkering at the weekends plus a list of jobs to do about the place i have been putting off, the car doesnt do a lot of miles during the week.
I have been, bit by bit changing the interior from ash grey to personal line neptune blue leather, it just needs sandstone headlining/ c pillar trim/ one piece of b pillar trim.

New pas and aux belts( which i have) need to go back on after fitting new cam belt, may get them on, not sure!

The car has 41,500 miles on it taxed and mot until march 2015.

Obviously with the radiator leaking cannot expect to get as much as i would like for the car and need to put a price on to abide by the rules so, with all the mods done etc would like to get £1,200 or as near as!

If there is no interest then i might just eventually sort it out if and when time and energy appear!

I'm sure there is more to put on, so will add when comes to mind.

Ask away if needed!

Steve.

Will put pictures on, in a hour or two

Very nice. It looks like you've taken good care of that one. Good luck with the sale.

Afew more pics.!

Seats are heated memory, has a genuine rover fire extinguisher and a warning triangle in boot. I did buy some skirts and spats for the car in the group buy last month, may sell them separately though.
