I wish .
I dream of having a barn/unit with enough space to work on the my Rover in comfort and have space to store all the parts and tools to do it.
Plus i could also have a cabbie and a coupe for good measure.

Been a bit of a bumper year for spare parts purchase. Two front subframes, set of head lights , bonnet , nearside front wing and now a front bumper. Just need to make space to store it all safely

Has anyone used Midland Car Breakers? Just wondering if they have a good reputation. Don’t want to do a 400 mile round trip for something that might have been kicked about a yard for a year.

That’s great. I have gained so much from the experience of others on this website its difficult to keep track of all the topics. Particularly as some are hidden in a general heading. Glad you made a repair of sorts.

I've had this problem I believe it's a spring in the mechanism that gets damaged.
I recall someone putting a post of the forum where they repaired or changed the spring

That's great I'll definitely give it a go

Bit wet on Sunday and lots of people left after a couple of hours when there was a downpour. Stayed for another 2 hours but it got a bit lonely
Should have driven to Milton Keynes

Used Blue-Tac and Autoglyn Trim restorer to good effect on the black roof trim today. The surface finish is still matt , I guess its just weathered, but the process has certainly got rid of the white polish marks and darkened it up a good deal.

Have you tried Breakerlink .
They have come up trumps a few times for me
