Wow, mine has that sat nav, had no idea you could update it. Although I have no idea how now you've posted lol. I got one of those gearshifts as my current one is loose. Not fitted yet, though.

Very jammy, managing to get one of the DVD drives for £40!! I keep looking for one and they're all well north of £100. Hope I spot a bargain some time soon too.
Be interested to know how you get on fixing the dead pixels / replacing the screen in the bordmonitor. Mine needs doing too.

The gearstick is a nice addition to the interior but it doesn't seem to click down like the old one did, if you pull up on it then it comes straight off. It doesn't effect its use though and for £5 I am not complaining. I just wish that I knew where the brand new chrome and leather one is that I bought a few years back! |

Been a little while since I have posted an update but still bits and pieces going on in the background
After a life near the sea the air conditioning radiator has seen better days, so I decided to set to work replacing it. First job, off with the bumper Then off with the crash beam and slam panel These headlights have seen better days, more on that later Followed by removal of the fan and cowling to reveal the offending item And so the nice shiny new condenser was put in place Whilst the car was apart I took the opportunity to address the intercooler hose. The o-rings were leaking and as can be seen the old hose had seen better days. I bought a nice new shiny hose (thanks Jules) and fitted it along with uprated o-rings. At this stage it was a good opportunity to address the cloudy headlights. Before And After And finally, fully reassembled. On to the interior I have finally got around to replacing the technical grey lower parts with walnut and also the addition of a walnut ZT steering wheel At this stage I decided that the gear knob that I bought from Rimmers didn't match the new look, so decided to replace it with a wood one from a BMW E39. Now to decide whats next on my list of things to do |

Very nice. I'd be interested in your thoughts on the brakes, as I've just done a similar 190 upgrade on my 180 auto with re-furbed calipers and new discs and pads all round. I was also always unhappy with the original brakes, but find the new set up a huge improvement.

Looking very nice . Maybe I have old fashioned taste, but I have always preferred the look of a wooden dash. I think it looks much classier - & brighter.

After spending a weekend in Stratford-Upon-Avon it seemed a bit rude to miss the opportunity of taking the MG back to its birthplace
