Thought id take advantage of my week off and the good weather so gave mine a once over today as she was looking a bit grubby and decided finally ordered my windscreen trim and got work to order me the chrome sill trim so its starting to look half sensible again

Also put the 2.5 litre torpedo door badges on as well.
My 2003 Tourer is getting bling-ified!

Well done fella I have just done the same today, looking good.

Put my torpedo badges on today, shamefully measured 5 inches in instead of 50mm, so they are not ideal

.

However, I'm fairly sure that there are no rover nuts with tape measures at work, so there they shall stay.

Then tried to fix the sat nav, re-sealed the rear lights as I think it's got wet. I get a flashing red light which goes off when I do the bonnet/boot thing. I can hear the sat nav fire up but nothing on the hi line screen.

A heat gun used carefully will get them off again.

Yes. Best to do that for the paints sake

Well, mine didn't do that much.................

It's been parked up for over a week.

Using the Cloverleaf Alfa MiTo for most of the driving now

So my ZT is saving me £80 a month at the moment

It's a bit of a job changing the interior but with help from Trikey completed in a few hours.

I had already changed the carpet to green, so it was just the dashboard, door cards and seats to replace.

Center consol has to come out. Then the dashboard top [Thanks Andy]..........

Hells teeth - that looks scary.

Fantastic result though.

Filed down a bit more of the hub to get the ABS sensor to read, must be getting closer as the speedo is now starting to give intermittent readings another 0.5 - 1mm and I think it will be there.

Hoovered it out, gave it a jet wash....... already salty again

Hi John, What is it you have done to need to file the hub?
Only curious as I am going to have front bearings, ruluctor ring and ABS sensors done at my local Rover specialist and wondered what problems he may come across.
