Ant how to I do is always posted here first then onto other forums, it is a lot easier to edit on here than other forums, also our Nano meets run along side this forum, I am really surprised that this great forum which as some great experienced Rover 75 owners does not get used more, there is also a lot less bickering on here than other forums.

I'm sure times will change in the near future and this forum will get more usage
