AV54OFE Worthy of the R75 owners club window sticker again

Mangizmo · 9th September 2018, 16:47

After briefly owning a Suzuki Vitara which I considered keeping and selling the Rover, I sold the Suzuki and spent a few quid on the Mighty 75 to get it right back where it should be, its now pretty much perfect, recent work

2 new front disks and pads
Lower engine mount replaced
Both front springs replaced (rear springs replaced at last MOT)
Rear suspension arms replaced (the ones the springs sit in)
Front suspension bushes replaced
New Ring Lyra DRLs (really good product)
I feel I can now put the club sticker back in the rear window :-)

This is my second set, first set lasted 6 years so I can recommend them, they are RING LYRAS, they connect across the battery with another optional wire which goes to the pos side of one of the sidelights to make them dim to half brightness when you put your lights on, they sense the voltage increase when the alternator starts spinning, ie when you start the car and turn off automatically when you turn the engine off just like modern factory fitted lights, I have had them on a MK1 and a MK2 and they look great on both, the MK2 has 2 perfect sized recesses which I cut out and they push in a tight fit, they are £60.00 though but I think they are worth it, tried Ebay cheapos and they didnt have the inbuilt circuitry and they weren't as well made, here they are from Halfords
