Fitted a new thermostat (thanks DMGRS), keyhole method. Shame someone had been there before, snapped both the curved pipe and the bottom of the stat housing and glued with them in with hylomar... Damn you, previous owner.

Driven mine to Aberdeen for the weekend, nearly 1000 miles and MY ZTT 260 didn't miss a beat.

It is amazing how much less traffic there is once you get past Carlisle, I left Aberdeen at 6am this morning and I had managed to get to Penrith by 9.30. The other half of the trip took a lot longer. It is amazing to be able to set the cruise control at 75mph and not even touch a pedal for over an hour.

Fitted dual horns, chrome gear stick, tourer wheel surround tool storage and leather centre console lid. Got a key fob on the way with a rover 75 logo and the storage for the tourer boot with lid.

Almost there with all the PPD fitting.

Looking good, could I ask what phone holder you use and how you fitted it?

Cheers Keith

It’s a Brodit Proclip. Website link with instructions:

Really easy to fit you can get the ones that have the charger integrated too.
