So we all know about headlamps going cloudy, and that it's possible to polish them up. But from the factory there wasn't an issue for many years. Once polished they go cloudy within a few months.

As a potential solution I bought new repro units from Rimmers. They are clearly not OE but have stayed clear since fitted 18 months ago. However its possible the levelling motors inside have failed. They did work, but don't ...

Hi All,

I need a new windscreen for my Rover 75. I have ordered all items from Rimmer Bros. However, it appears that item ZUA000960, which is the chrome finishers strips (x3 pieces) that go around the windscreen are no longer available. Obviously, I'm hoping that Autowindscreens can remove my existing strips but I image they will break being 20+ years old. Any advice or suggestions?

Can I use 3a screw connectors on a towbar wiring loom inside the car boot?

I have fitted the towbar and sockets to the exterior and just need to connect the second hand wiring loom with relays inside the boot to the wires going to the rear light clusters (left & right).

I think I've identified a suitable replacement for the long time unobtainable two piece clip which fixes the bumper to the front wing on our cars, usually know as the 'fir tree clip'.
The original clips seem to have been manufactured by a company called TRW and they produce a very similar two piece clip, these are supplied by a retailer called JetPress and their reference number for the clip is TPF071, here's a link ...

I've just been reading the 'How To' detailing how to align the front bumper on facelift models on the other side.. At one point in the 'How To' it seems to suggest removing the fir tree clip that secures the bumper to the front wing at the uppermost edge of the 'S' line of the wing / bumper:

Raising the slam panel is important because it in turn raises the headlights, allowing vertical movement of ...

Just checking which major parts do I leave off when fitting the towbar? The towbar seems to replace the large horizontal support bar? But do I assume the two very large polystyrene padding sections are also left off the car?

At the centre of the rear of the car (and only seen with the bumper off) there is a plastic or polythene plug that needs a hole made in it to push the wiring through. ...

I have connected my car to the PSCAN reader and it is showing:

Wheel speed sensor front left open circuit.

I understand that this could be a break in the wire from the sensor to the ABS unit.

How do I find this break in the wire? Is there a usual location?
Can I use a multimeter to check if the sensor is working?
If so how?

The sensor is a genuine MGR part ...
