On the 260 I've only needed to put a set of Zero quads on. Its perfect.:drool4:
http://gallery.xpowerforums.com/data...ero2600032.JPG

Tim nice shiny engine bay, what year is the 75 ?

2002 Andy.

I have so far modified one crank (made it oval), one set of piston seals in the auto box and four sets of tyres from full tread to bald.

Have I got the type of modifications wrong? ;)

In that case, I have upgraded from Harmony to a Symphony set up.

Stil love her to bits though. Much to the other half's annoyance.

I thought you had put a new wheel on :bigsmile:

Yeah but it was the same type. Therefore the only 'mod' was taking chunks out of the original rim!

BTW You need to add a further mod to your list.....modified number plate:party:

:clap: :laughing2:

:trans: lol! Hope you get an 'interesting' plate!

It's 'interesting' at the moment to see if I get the RIGHT flipping plate :)

A few on the ZT...
ITG panel filter, with modified cold air feed from the front bumper.
Fitted 245/40/18 tyres
Fitted new stainless steel back-box

Can be seen here at:
http://www.brit-cars.com/content/category/10/15/36/

am i being thick..? I've thought about it and all I get is **** Venty Fave...are you a vegetarian, perhaps? (Good that you've got full auto aircon ventilation on the Connoisseur):D

R70 Fve
 

Just got it. Good one.

Mind you, mine's also got a unique number plate - at least I jolly well hope it has!!

Just as well really, nature of the beast :lol:

I want MM1 but I haven't got 119,000 squids to spend this month shame really :lol:

Supercharged V8 with upgraded brake pads and fluid

Showoff :)

Lets's have a pic of the engine bay so we can all :drool4: over it please.

BTW welcome to the club and the forum :)

Christopher can you remind me what you did to get the trip computer working once you had fitted the Hi-Line Cluster? cheers

You mean the 'message centre' version yes?

In my case I fitted it, them the stalk with button and switched on ... that's all. The trip computer is accessible via the button on the stalk .. tell me if I've got the wrong end of the stick ...!!!

So no-one has fitted any of those RARE accessories you can only get from eBay?

:laughing2: Have you not herd John? ALL of the last remaining rareitems have been tranquilized,captured and taken to a reservation were they can spend the rest of their days in peace with out the worry of being sold on flea bay. :D

Just added footwell lights to the rear, having done the fronts a few weeks ago, and got to wait for darkness now to see the total effect

Welcome to the club! :cool:

Not heard of these before? Were they a standard fitment on some models or an after-market add-on?

Look at the how-to here: http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/index.php?thepage=mods

;)

It's a home made affair I did though - none were ever available for the 75/ZT.

PS: and the rear footwell lights I fitted can be seen here ...

http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/foru...9c2144cb77.jpg

They look great. In a face lift MG they would look brill at night they match the dial lights

Thanks, yes. I went for white light as the amber was too gloomy as footwell lights - it is crisp and clear and even serves a purpose ;)

It's like being in the cinema Chris :munch:

Now if I could get the kids to wear flourescent toe nail varnish......:lol:

I didn't use LEDs like Christopher did, I just bought four £1.99 universal interior lights from the local Motorists' Centre.

With 5w festoon bulbs the fronts are fine , but the rears are a tad brighter than the rear interior light. Still look excellent though, and make the seats look as if they are "hovering" above the floor.

Don't know whether to do Puddle lights next, or rear-facing red door edge lights to replace the reflectors. Anyone done either?

My 1991 Rover Sterling had 14 courtesy lights as standard - inc one above each door. My 75 now has 9, the standard 3 front and 2 rear, plus the 4 footwells.

- Wood steering wheel, gear knob & handbrake grip
- Trafficmaster
- Xenon headlights (twice..)
- Drivers grab handle
- Front parking sensors
- Heated washer jets
- Jvc AVX2 DVD head unit + DAB tuner + Ipod adaptor (blue surface mount leds lighting replaced with amber)
- Ron's tu3b

Coming soon:
- Headlight washer jets

Mods Done

Upsolute Remap - already done before I bought car
RoverRons Intake mod
Symphony SLE upgrade
TrafficMaster fit
Wood Steering Wheel and Gear knob - still to do handbrake
Retrofit Boot Trim to Pre Project Drive - had to get rid of the terrible original
SE Crown Alloys replaced with 16" Muiltispoke with Low Profile Avon ZZ3's
And biggest claim to fame
Replaced Complete Centre Console without removing front seats (previous owners phone holder mess)

Hi,

Could you please give details on how the above items were fitted. I'm very interested :drool4:
Regards,
Majed

The trafficmaster fit is covered in great detail on the 'other side'. http://forums.mg-rover.org/showthrea...highlight=TMC:

Does the trafficmaster system work on the continent?

Fitting Xenon units is relatively straightforward, the only vaguely tricky bit being the removal of the front bumper. The xenon headlights simply replace the existing halogen units - no change in wiring is required. There are no 'legal' problems over here in the UK, don't know about France though. The difficult bit is finding a pair of xenon units - I just sold my spare set, but you might find a pair of LHD ones on ebay.

I did a post on my front parking sensor fit here: http://forums.mg-rover.org/showthread.php?t=148239 I must admit I did not do it the easy way, which would have been to use an aftermarket kit. If you go the OEM route, the difficult bit is finding the loom from a rear bumper system.

Thanks a lot
 

Thanks a lot for your information. I will make some research now.
Concerning Traficmaster, it seems that it exists here under the name of V-Trafic from Mediamobile which have some deal with Traficmaster. To what extent are they compatible? I'm not sure, as I have not tried it yet. :o

See this link: http://www.trafficmaster.co.uk/page.cfm?key=europe

Must of missed the how to on this one ;)

was the slow puncture a add on as well http://www.clicksmilies.com/s1106/la...smiley-011.gif

Repeat this procedure as and when necessary

:) Thanks for that

This morning I fitted Traffic Master. Managed it in under 30 mins, a breeze even for a novice like me...

Now I'm curious what the 3 sectioned pyramid means....

:clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

Good Work apywell,

I belive the 3 sectioned pyramid means the motorway is clear.

Me, modify my car? Who'd ever heard of such a thing?! :rofl:

Fitted (at time of writing this):
- Reverse parking sensors.

http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/foru...151109abdc.jpg

:getmecoat:

I think you should make the picture active, in a way such that when one hovers his mouse over a particular area of the car, the modifications appear, like on some cars websites. In fact, I also think R70 deserves a website of its own for the mods... :pillow: :envy: :drool4: ;)

ooh! you've got me thinking now!!! :) :drool4:

Chris,

all you need to do now is convert it into a ZT and then you will have the ultimate 75 modification.:D

However...it IS a fantastic shade of silver.

One modificatin too far methinks!!

You know, what even though I've checked the plenum a number of times I only got around to doing the spyhole mod a few weeks ago - but I must say the guy who thought that up must be a genious:bowdown:

Stubs

Anyone been doing anything interesting to there cars ?

I've not added anything but the local 'mob' community have kindly removed my Union Flag badge from the boot lid :mad:

I have added a wooden handbrake lever and wired up a permanent (when ignition is in position one) battery feed for my SatNav phone that I've routed behind the dash with the plug exiting just above the light switch module. No pics (yet) I'm afraid but there is one of the handbrake somewhere...

He's a bit ugly but I love him. Still can't seem to find what car it's from. (Thinking about the mesh grill thing soon............)

I like that Viking as well

Wouldn't mind having one for VeeKay

My two latest mods are these.

See the how-to for the boot handle here;

I also managed to fit in Julesbass' bonnet release mod too.

I note in the HowTo that you say the one with the word Rover impressed into the surface is for the earlier, pre-project drive cars. My 51 reg car which apart from a plastic wood dash, appears to be pre-PD, has the coloured Rover viking longship badge in the centre, as in the one you removed.

As the badge is deteriorating a little, I'll be looking for a replacement of one sort or another.

If I get one from an earlier car, it will match the Contour wheels I have replaced the later Crowns with, I suppose.

I thought I was looking at something entirely different there. Then I thought, well it might work! And now to my point....would this little cubby thing be adaptable as a boot interior grab handle? Clutching at straws maybe, but it looks the part. Any thoughts anyone?

I assumed the one I replaced was post-PD, but interesting to note that yours is pre-PD. The badge on my original was deteriorating also, hence the replacement. I prefer the look of the 'ROVER' ones as it gives the boot smoother lines IMHO.

Now that's an idea!

Are you going to try it?http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/foru...ons/icon12.gif

Well, I do have a few things to do on the car, (thank you, thank you, thank you Crofts!). And I need to remove the boot liner to secure the new boot handle with some self tappers, so whilst the liner is off, I shall investigate methods of attaching the trinket tray as a boot grab handle.

Let us know what the outcome is, won't you.http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/foru...cons/icon7.gif

Certainly. Personally, I don't have a problem closing the boot, but I am aware of others having used the same handle as that fitted to the boot floor/carpet.

Update:

I did some other mods this past weekend, including the excellent spy hole mod. Whilst checking the boot handle, (and therefore having the boot liner off), I checked where the trinket tray could possibly be attached. Unfortunately, I was visiting the in-laws and forgot to take the trinket tray to take measurements, etc. Doh! But there is a large rectangular opening in the boot skin above the lock mechanism that an looks ideal location and should be a deep enough recess for the trinket tray to be flush with the liner. The only issue is how to secure the trinket tray to the boot skin.

The other mod I did was fit the door handle finishers and boy do they look great!

Part No 7 in here

sorry a bit of topic.

Closing the boot of the Seventyfive may be a dirty thing especially on bad and rainy days. For the saloon there doesn�t exist any internal handle and even for money you can�t buy this helpful accessory from Rover or any known major vendors. The boot lid handle by T.Haag is the solution. It is a simple and handy part which is installed to the boot lid and invites to close the boot leaving the fingers clean. Especially owners with Sandstone Beige interior won�t miss this little piece of aluminium.

Retrofitted a Symphony HU and CD changer. Apart from that absolutely didly squat!

Ahem..... :D http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/foru...ead.php?t=4252 Boot handle with OEM looks ;)
