Hi Colin. Thanks for organising a great day. Michael tried uploading these pictures the other night and failed miserably. So he left it to me to sort out. I added some pictures taken during the tour also. These are a mixture of some of mine and some of Mark Henderson's photos.

Hi Craig,

My user name is 'The Rover Man', my real name is Mike.

The wife has been working on my account for a while (calling herself 'The Rover Woman'). I liked your gold 75 and 25, particularly the prophetic temperature gauge on your 75...

hi mike was good to meet you down there and have a good chat our 25 is a little ill now as both drive shafts have failed c.v joints banging like mad and affecting driving lol.

Good to chat to you too. I am still trying to get a 28mm hole saw to fit my reversing sensors!

If your driveshafts have only started being noisy since the meet, all you need is a couple of outer cv boots. Glue together boots for a quick fix (6 months maximum, but it gets you through the cold weather and keeps the cv joint clean), remove hub and outer joint for a long term fix. Either way, it's about £10-12 per boot! If you need any pointers or a hub puller, give me a shout, but I have a feeling you know what you're doing anyway!

The wife and I are going to Larne (maybe both our boys + girlfriend too) and look forward to seeing you there.

I'm pleased to hear you've got the fog lights ordered. Do you have a relay yet, as I have a spare one?

Unfortunately, I don't have an intercooler bracket, but have a feeling that you may come across one at our next meet.

craig8661 · 18th February 2011, 22:27

not orderd the fog lights yet but that other thing lol.

drive shafts the rubbers was split when we got the 25 even passed its mot from the prev uncaring owner.

Thanks for the offer, but I have a 25mm and it's too small. I have a set of the original Rover reversing sensors, which need 28mm.
