Default Is there anyone with T4 in the Essex area

Hi all, just wondered if there was anyone in Essex with access to T4?
I have recently purchased a gold Rover 75 Tourer which has a couple of issues that I am slowly sorting out. The electric mirrors do not work at present, and the drivers door lock needs changing.

Having read up about this, I understand it is a very common fault. I am planning to change the door lock actuator soon, but I would like the speed locking and the double press to unlock switched off before I do, in order to not wear out the new actuator.

Can anyone help with this?

It also requires some paint correction due to the previous owner re-spraying parts of the bumpers and the front wing. Will post some pics of the car once I have had a go at this.

That's probably the driver's door switch pack which needs taking out, taking apart and the contacts cleaning with contact cleaner and/or a pencil rubber. There's an excellent "how-to" on here somewhere although I think you might need to be a subscribed member to access it.

Kevin at Wickford is a MG Rover specialist and has a T4.
He knows these cars inside out and is very competent.
P.M. me if you would like his phone number.

Yep, the mirrors will be down to dirty contacts on the driver's door switch pack.

According to the t4 map Chelmer Auto Repair Services is closest to you who have a t4. Your closest MG Rover Specialist who has a t4 is Kevin in Wickford.

The mirrors not working will just be the contacts on the driver's switch pack needing cleaning.

I can change the dealer options for you in Thurrock Essex, however I use toaf so if you ever plug into a t4 at a later date you'll need the dealer options changed again as the t4 undoes any dealer option changes done using toaf.
