  ...fit Rover 800 stalks
 
bulletChris 'cjmillsnun' Mills over on the MG-Rover.org forum, has put together these great instructions on how to fit Rover 800 instrument stalks, to give adjustable intermittent wipe. NOTE - this project is on-going with regard to the intermittent wipe, the clever sparky bods are trying to come up with a solution. Still worth fitting the stalks though.
 
  ...remove the steering wheel
 
bulletAndy Phillips relays the steps on steering wheel removal here on the MG-Rover.org forum.
bulletDieter has this page on steering wheel removal.
 
  ...reposition the centre consol switches
 
bulletI found the position of the fog light switches in their default position to be unacceptable, the switches were difficult to see and locate because of the gear stick. There were two locations free next to the drivers window button that I wanted to use, so I decided to move them, this is how I did it.
 
  1. Remove both triangular foot well panels, each panel is fixed with two phillips screws.
  2. Using a 10mm spanner or socket, remove the two 10mm plastic nuts that hold the black unit that sits in front of the switches, move the unit to one side.
  3. Remove the multiplug from the switch(s) you want to move and push the switch from the back out of the consol.
  4. On top of the switch you will see two raised ridges close together, in the consol housing you will see a corresponding slot, this is all that stops the switch being placed in the 'wrong' location.
  5. Using a sharp knife, remove the raised ridges from the switch.
  6. Remove the blank from the location you want the switch to be in. Note that the blank does not have any location ridges.
  7. Push the switch in from the front and reconnect the switch's multiplug.
  8. Push the blank in the switch's old location.
  9. Bolt back the black unit.
  10. Screw back the two triangular panels.
