...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.
