Emitting tire fixed.
Who is this Stupid rESPONSIBLE mANAGER in Continental decided that the small tire barcode sticker has to be glued where the tire sticks to the rim?

Took 10 /TEN!/ minutes Titan-like effort with the flat screwdriver to remove the sticker.

Might as well have the discs too. As you say, they'll come in handy. I have four KV6 Rovers, although the only one currently on the road is the one bought for spares! One is jhaving the belts done, but I need to fix the brakes on the spare quickly as have a number of long trips to do. I'll wait to here. Payment - paypal or bank transfer.

I see the high performance cars have discs of larger diameter, I guess this is the upgrade you have done.

Yes, packaging heavy awkward items is a bit of pain, I do it regularly as I sell Rover parts for 1934-64 models; the 75 being the first modern car ever owned.

Will waitto hear from you so we can finalise the deal.

The original set up is as my car although I can see the discs are a different maunufacture. These parts will do fine for me please. Let me know when they're pack and weighed eitc, and how to pay you. Best to pm this info.

One of mine is a low mileage one I want to look after and add various gooodies such as satnav and powerfolds. Have to strip off the subframes first as these are rusty but the body looks excellent and I'm hoping to find it is. Not this weather's work though.

Absolutely nothing, although I have noticed whilst moving it around at work it has a single ‘knock’ when setting off in reverse from the rear passenger side so I might have to try and have a look tomorrow.

................................ Was started today, fired up on the first time of asking. Took the Bear for a run up to Cheshunt in Hertsfordshire, done some shopping and drove back to where the Bear lives on a temporary basis.

Then drove home with Redfive and got her washed, seeing as she has travelled over 1400 miles in the last 10 days including attending 3 meets, think she deserved it.

Re-affixed the high level brake light to the rear screen, removed the locking wheel bolts and replaced with standard, checked the tyre pressures, went to change the air filter but the one on it appears to be new, so left it, polished the chrome and touched up a couple of stone chips.

My 75 tripped over the 50,000 mile mark on the way home from work. She was clearly as unhappy as me about leaving her 40s as I was and popped a brake light bulb on the way in, so she's been treated to a new bulb this evening plus a ROVER branded coil pack cover as a birthday treat.

MOT next month so last weekend I thought it was time to get some jobs done, Replaced the entire rear number plate light fittings, not easy as someone else had clearly had a go in the past and gotten carried away with the silicone.. Took some time to sort it all out.

New front disks and Pads, Disks had been coated so gave them a light sanding to remove some of the coating and over a few days the breaking had taken it all off and breaks performing very well. Air Bag light now off, Thought I was in good shape. Driving down the slip road after leaving the M27 the squealing began, left break locked on, oops thankfully there is a garage just down the road, I had a good feeling the second I pulled up with my now very hot wheel... There was a courtesy car outside, A 75 😊

Was half expecting to need a new calliper, I walked to work and let them get on with it, they un-ceased it and gave it all a good clean, looks like the coated disks I fitted caused the issue … £50 all back up and running.
Great service and really friendly staff, if your ever in need and in Fareham/Southampton pop and see these guys. https://segensworth-automobiles.co.uk/
