Yes it is mate, looks great when it's clean and the sun hits it. Shame that it wasn't sold over there.

Started cleaning up the engine bay - got the autosol out and gave the cover a bit of a spruce up as it was looking a bit tired. Also started cleaning up the mani - just did one pipe though for now, and that needs quite a bit more polishing. Also, there's some new blue ht leads in there too replace the old blue ht leads. Had it so long now I'm having to replace mods that are starting to look tired

Just thinking actually, it might work out cheaper for a repair by a local auto radiator company if you can find one.. These are some before and after pics of my heater bypass pipe (new one wasn't available).
-
I'd be surprised if it was different to the rover 400 / mgzs one.. But it's not guaranteed to be the same. Would be less of a risk if it were cheaper https://rimmerbros.com/Item--i-GRID003155 https://rimmerbros.com/Item--i-JEF000080P Might make finding a second hand one easier though. One thing I notice is that this one is only for the rover 400 / 45 / Mg ZS and not the 200 /ZR. This makes me think that the ek one will be different from the mb, but again, that's just a hunch. Would anyone else know for sure?

No worries mate. The knob is a razo one. I had one for years but the leather went all tacky from the car being damp, so I got a new one recently. The trim is the standard vti trim I think, although there may have a carbon effect one as well.
-
I've just taken a few photos that might help understand where things are.. Clips on each side towards the front. If you put for fingers in at the front, but at each side, you should be close enough to release them without stressing the trim. These locating tabs at the back mean you need to lift from the front These are the slots the locating tabs go into

To right... The way up is on the a1 dual carriage way, then a fast flowing A road - about an hours drive - and had the wife and kids in the car. Bit scary really. 4 rainsport 5's are on there way.
-
It's worn all the way round, but worse there. I think that it might have been low pressure for a while without me noticing (on the rear), and maybe made worse by needing the camber /alignment sorting out. Dunno.. Just pleased it didn't seem to blow when I was driving!

So this happened today.. Somehow between driving for an hour up to muy mam's, and driving back again....
-
It's mainly the socket that looks dodgy - I don't think that it stood up well to the chip going in and out when I was trying to get the map to work years ago. I've got a zif socket in there now, but think that it needs a bit of a going over.
-
I suspect it's the soldering of the components for the chipping - it's not the prettiest job... Better than I could have done, but that's not saying much..
-
Light still on so probably ecu needs attention before going for mapping.
-
Going to try hooking it up again today - if there's no eml, then it's probably okay for mapping.. If not, then the ecu must need some more electronic loving.
-
Would love to get a full spray done so that the looks reflect all of the work that's gone in to the chassis, but it'll have to wait. Will look at getting some smart repairs done to pick up the odd chips and scratches.
-
Yeah, claying will be fine just worried about getting it machine polished.
