...door windows
-
replacing a broken window stop
Before you check out the links below, Charles Simeon sent me a very
relevant check that can be made.....
"It is very important and easy to adjust the coachline of the doors
BEFORE adjusting the height of the glass. (This makes an astonishing
improvement to the overall appearance of older cars). Almost by default if
the glass stop has been broken for some time before you 'get around to it',
the glass will have pushed the door downwards out of line. It needs a T40
Torx to loosen the striker plate and lift it back into line before setting
the glass height. Otherwise like muggins here you have to take the card off
again and do the job twice!"
You should also check that the door hinges have not worn prior to the
above, Mike Satur sells an uprated hinge kit for the job.
- Tony's site covers this problem very thoroughly
here.
- DotComoff also covers the replacement of the window stops
here.

This article on the MGOC web site by Roger Parker covers the
subject really well.

...fit Rover 800
stalks
- Chris '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.

...reposition the centre consol switches
- I 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.
- Remove both triangular foot well panels, each panel is fixed with
two phillips screws.
- 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.
- Remove the multiplug from the switch(s) you want to move and push
the switch from the back out of the consol.
- 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.
- Using a sharp knife, remove the raised ridges from the switch.
- Remove the blank from the location you want the switch to be in.
Note that the blank does not have any location ridges.
- Push the switch in from the front and reconnect the switch's
multiplug.
- Push the blank in the switch's old location.
- Bolt back the black unit.
- Screw back the two triangular panels.
