VIN/specs question
Greetings. Baby's first post after bringing home my new 75 this afternoon. Always wanted one, had a bad week, decided I deserved a treat, found a FSH 2005 2.0 Conn CDT SE at a reputable and flexible dealer not too far away, did the deal, and brought 'er home. I've spent the last 2 days poring over many threads here becoming familiar with the highs and lows of the model and seeing what's possible in terms of mods etc. so I appreciate the forum already.
I've tried to access the spec-check at mg-rover.info but it doesn't seem to like my VIN. Is this a known issue or indeed is there a better site for car-specific specs? I'm puzzled that despite having digital climate control & heated seats, I don't appear to have air con which almost made me re-think the deal (I got over it though). I knew the car didn't have cruise beforehand and have already found three 6-pin plugs (white, blue and green) behind the walnut switch panel so I'm hopeful the loom is there when I go to install it. So any help with a site for spec-checking the car would be muy bien. Thanks, Dougie.

Reebs was kind enough to check the car out and discovered it's a facelift Connoisseur SE. It appears not to have the any of the optional pack:-
Electric sunroof Rear sunblind Side head impact airbags Cruise control Auto dimming rear view mirror Rain sensing wipers Message Centre instrument pack including trip computer Trafficmaster alert although it's soon going to have cruise control. Oh, and of course the best feature on the car - the rear blind. Just cos I can (and I've already got one for twenty squid).

The good thing seems to be that although your SE does not have the extra 'SE pack', the wiring for those goodies appears to be there for them
As I said, what you got in the Mark 1 Connoisseur SE as standard, they seemed to divide up in to Conn SE / and Conn SE with extra SE Pack for the facelifts Anyway, happy retro fitting P.S, Here's a guide I did to retrofitting the Auto Dipping Rear View Mirror https://the75andztclub.co.uk/forum/s...50&postcount=3

Nope that's a separate thing, you'd need to replace the windscreen glass too as the rain sensor has a different 'patch' area for it to go.
