    Wow that some pretty intresting stuff, love to see it when its complete.

    Got nothing on apart from testing driving the hybrid after the battery is charged, may not be the alternator as I thought, but 2moro will tell.

    Hope you have a good time mate.

    Do you know what Tim you reminded me I need sort out the tool shed, take everything out and reorganise.

    Off to the scrap yard 2moro to get some parts for my 75, that's where I got my ZT trim and alloys 18inch which are being hydro dipped, still waiting on them.
    There's 3 Rover 75 and I think there two ZT's.

    If one of them is a V8 and can be fixed with some repairs, then I'll save it and repair it. If its is a V8 that is, knowing my luck there be both V6's.

    I'd be surprised you will come across any V8's at the crappy. We tend to know what/when/why through our intelligence gathering system.

    Just come from there now and................................. There both V6's, both turn over fine and I asked why were they were scapped, This is a good one the owner of it couldn't be botherd to replace a few sensors that were dodgy and scrapped it to buy other car.

    This is what gets me it DRIVES fine really I've go around in it.

    Got the parts I needed, no V8 but if it was one of them, one was MG power gray and Royal Blue. I could tell you know I would have bought it there and then.
