Yikes, quite the bad luck. The Rover item I removed was in working condition, but everything coming out of it was black and horrible.

Hi Fraser.
In what way did the MK1 Tazu fail? I've not heard much bad press about the early one and the one I had was perfect.

My cars have been neglected for a while now due to all my time being spent overhauling my garden. Anyway, a day away from all that . . .

1. Oil and filter change 2500 miles early. Disapointed I can't reset the service indicator unless it's less than 1000 miles.

2. Fitted a large undertray

3. Repaired the paintwork on the Seat splitter.

Fed up of my Landrover brolly floating around the boot so, I made a couple of Brolly Brackets to keep it under control.
And yes, I can still get the boot floor up.

Very swish

That looks a nice neat job..

Car has been washed well put through a premium wash at Tesco's today.

Now it's all nice and shiny ready for Powderham tomorrow.

But knowing my luck of late and because I have to park under a tree I expect there will be a large bird doodoo on the bonnet in the morning.

Finally had the pass on the MOT so hopefully not many more problems.

See what I did there not many more as there is always something.

What a great idea. Did you buy or make those clips?
Sorry. I read it a second time - you made them!

Cleaned and polished the forked alloys:-

Even the one in the boot!

RayH,

I had a flash of inspiration and made the brackets from what I had available, they are a bit soft really but, do the job.
I may purchase a couple of chrome / stainless spring clips (know them as Terry Clips) if I see any on my travels.
