If so, do you have any regrets about 'downsizing'?

Just looking at the moment so depending on my payday next week nothing's going ahead as of yet

I am trying to remove the wheel arch liners to get at the bumper to see if I can fix the 'bumper popping' problem..

to remove the liner, the three screws on the outside come off ok, but the three black plastic screws in the body of the liner wont shift...are they actually screws or do the 'pop' in and out? They just seem to turn and turn and not actually unscrew..

cheers

However it's got a few niggles and I wanted to see if people thought that I should repair the problems (myself, not via a garage) or just sell it as is.

It's the 105 facelift, 3 door petrol, 2005 in silver and done 67k miles. The niggles are as follows:

• The usual BCU issues (although I have the parts to fix those)
• The drivers seat has scuffed and worn away quite badly on the outer edge
• The drivers door card needs to be replaces, the speaker grille has come off and the handle is taped together
• Both front and back bumpers have a significant crack and a few scuffs so need to be replaced
• There is a spot of rust at the bottom of the tailgate
• Finally it needs a new parcel shelf (the old one is ok but the bracket has broken on one side

I was thinking if everything was fixed then around £2k would be achievable but as is probably more like £1200. I've send a few messages to people braking similar models to get prices but still waiting. Just wondered what people thought?

Thanks in advance

PS if anyone has the parts listed above feel free to send me a message with a price! ]]> barlow1984 http://forums.mg-rover.org/showthread.php?t=471068 http://forums.mg-rover.org/showthread.php?t=471067&goto=newpost Sun, 20 May 2012 12:53:59 GMT Hi,

I've checked the fuses and swapped the relays about but i still cant get the indicators to work! Do the indicator stalks go on these cars or is it the hazard light switch?

thanks in advance for any help or advice. ]]> xsduk http://forums.mg-rover.org/showthread.php?t=471067 http://forums.mg-rover.org/showthread.php?t=471066&goto=newpost Sun, 20 May 2012 12:49:08 GMT It's Sunday and not raining for a change so I gave the car a good clean

If the whole thing has to be done, how easy is it to remove the door card.

Finally .....:ouch: how much is a replacement & where from!!

Afternoon all!

Week into my ZR 1.4 ownership, just given her a bloody good clean this morning, popped the bonnet to give a quick wipe up under there, thought I better check the oil filler cap and there seems to be oily deposits on it at the bottom and right up inside :(

Gutted is not the word :( however the coolant doesn't look too bad in all honestly and the level hasn't dropped. Have been told it may just be condensation as its pretty cold down here in Cambridgeshire and I only done a 8 mile trip this morning and a very short trip to the shops before this.

Is there anything else I should be looking for symptom wise?

Sorry, still pretty new to MG / Rover ownership.

Great forums aswell I must say! Very helpful!

Here's my new set of wheels :p

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3209050743...84.m1438.l2649

However, it will take a while before I fit them because I'm going to custom paint DIY :andburg:

I paid £315 instead of £365 and the tyres are basically new. I'll be getting some 215/40/17 for the rear in the future but for now I'll stick with the 205/40/17 all around.

Btw, I didn't think 17" wheels were that big...

So, what do you think about my deal? ]]> MGF and MGTF (Sponsored by MGF Mania) Shinigami http://forums.mg-rover.org/showthread.php?t=471061 http://forums.mg-rover.org/showthread.php?t=471060&goto=newpost Sun, 20 May 2012 12:03:59 GMT Got some hairpins on my nightfire red R25, the drums n callipers are really visible now.
