Tucked away in our car park at work. It's under the building so nice and dry. Collecting parts over winter, then back out in spring ready for POL 2020. Going to miss driving her, but she needs the rest. I'll drive my ropey Galaxy over winter.

Replaced two abs sensors for the third time this time with OE originals from Rimmers and the fault magically disappeared, the curse of shoddy aftermarket parts strikes again!

I hope you rattled the cage of the factor who supplied the sensor from ECP then Richard?

It has to be said, the sensor I sent you was definitely NOS genuine Rover that I've had on the shelf for a couple of years or so, and as we chatted about, the sensors supplied by ECP are no good.........ask Derek "BigD" about his launch car

Glad to hear it sorted out the issue for you

I gave the tourer a good drive to wales and back, after delivering gran kids Christmas presents, what a wet and windy drive that was. still stretched its legs for it, added a good dose of injector cleaner also which I do every winter.

I have read so many times that you can feel difference between 75 and a ZT.

Even the little things alter the way it feels. Having just fitted the dark ZT plastics to the interior of my 75 ( I now have a real walnut dash / ZT plastics and leather steering wheel) The last thing to change was the gear knob, You wouldn't think it would make a difference, other than looks. However, my gear changes now feel very different, a much more positive feel. It actually feels like a different gearbox.

What a difference a good knob makes, who says "size does'nt matter" lol
