...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.
- replacing the window lift mechanism
-
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.
