What did I do with my Rover 75 today?
We'll, first we went to Tescos.
I'm now sitting in it outside my house with a coffee and my ipad reading the forums. Perfect. Dave.

Vented rear discs are expensive, rear solids do the job. The front 325mm brakes are good, in practice and cosmetically.

Finally!
Finally found a way to fix the chrome door handle surrounds back on so they don't fall off every time I close the car door!
I did try the Araldite putty method but it didnt work for me -(I freely admit it was probably due to my ineptitude and not the the method that was previously posted!). First I 'filled in' a little area with Isopon mix inside the plastic mould as shown below - -: After these little 'pads' of Isopon had dried, I cut Velcro to shape and stuck it to the Isopon pads. ( I stuck both halves of the velcro together before I cut the shape to ensure a good fit and then after peeling off the backing, just pressed the surround back into place inside the car - - 'Heath Robinson' I know but it looks fine inside the car and so far the surrounds have survived the door slam test fine!

Machine mopped, and Supagard glazed the whole car today. Has a mirror finish and looks nearly brand new, but I'm absolutely done in!
