What I did with my Rover 75/MG ZT today?

[Rooney]

Stripped the sandstone interior out of my saloon ahead of fitting my preferred black leather with piping.

Will also mean I finally get to have my airbag light off as the connector under the passenger seat was loose causing intermittent appearances from the annoying red man

I can never make up my mind which interior I prefer, sandstone looks stunning when clean but the grey and smokestone is more practical to live with ??? I suppose have one car of each it the answer lol !

[Rooney]

The only time I like sandstone is when its in someone else's car.

I love it in photos but as you say, in practical terms, it's not the best

taken both rear lights off my tourer today after Halfords lout managed to snap the lugs the screws go though, found the one of the screws just spins in the hole and i have one screw missing, no wonder they were both wobbly, have now cut and JB welded L clips on to the light clusters, just need to leave them over night to set, tommorrow planning an oil change again, did it a couple of weeks ago as it hadnt been done for a very long time, chucked some cheap oil in to flush it, so tomorrow oil and filter change

Hi Tony
With the fixing that is spinning in the light aperture, you see that it as an outer lip of about 2/3mm, at north south easy and west points, or 12,6,3, 9oclock use a sharp punch to indent the rim into the body it will stop the fixing from turning, once you have repaired the light lugs re-fix using plastic number plate screws/bolts they hold great and will not rust into the fixing point thread.

Can't believe you let Halfords even go near your motor

Here is my first choice below, but as you say darker leather easier to live with, I currently have black in the MGZT 190 and also black in the FL1 but the next FL2 I get I have looking after the cream leather.

Thanks, couldnt get it out so i punched it through, have used an expanding drylining fixing instead, the sort that as you do the screw up it pulls the sides tight.... will post photos tomorrow when it's day light
