Couple of things to note however.

1) Handbrake is non existent and the car also rolls when left in reverse gear (not ideal because I live on a hill)
The above can be sorted quite easy with a SSC at the Nano.

2) It lurches in 1st gear and has a slight vibration when nearly at the clutch biting point.
maybe it need bleeding? not doable at the meet.

Quote:
3) Steering makes a rather odd vibrating noise when on full lock
May have something to do with the Nearside Front Steering box has seepage (2.1.1 (e) (i)) you will find this on the MOT link in the other thread.

Quote:
4) Both front windows won't go down, they make a grinding noise
Could the wires are corroded or it has lots of grit in the window channel

Seems I have bought a bit of a shed it shall be fixed though
All Rover 75 and MGZT will need work because they are getting on now, it all depends on if the owner has the stomach to tackle the jobs
