Im attenting the Leicester fix it day on saturday and am looking to get the front pads/disks replaced on my car, Ive had a look on europart and there are 2 diff brands of pads (and disks) and they seem to have quite a price difference, can anyone give an opinion? Also, im unsure if ordering the pads on the page below will give me pads for both sides or just 1?

Also, as far as I can tell, the passenger seat pre-tensioner has activated - as it has squished up tight. The drivers seatbelt tensioner appears to be absolutely normal as if it has not gone off. Why would this be?

The SRS light is illuminated on the dashboard.

Can anyone offer any advice.

Was my mum's car since new, sold to me two and half years ago, but I've hardly used it and can't justify keeping it.

Needs to go to a loving home to be used and enjoyed! ;-)

Just passed MOT again with no problems, have replaced several parts in the last 2 years and upgraded the stereo, not done too much else.

Good points:
No major problems, still looks great, parts replaced in last 2/3 years include:- battery, alternator, 4 tyres (Continentals), exhaust, top & bottom hoses, stereo, and the boot lock (!). Two working remote fobs. Runs like a bird, handles very nicely (as you'd expect).

12 months MOT, 5 months tax.

Bad points:
A few very minor scuffs & scrapes in the usual places. Ocasionally pops out of reverse, bit lumpy starting when cold (fine when warm), need to run her once or twice a week at least to avoid the battery draining, brakes are totally original and although still legal you'd probably want to do some work on them as I never got round to it.

Looking for any sensible offers, please PM (message) me if you're interested. Location Sussex/Surrey/Kent borders if you want to look.

Thanks for reading this far!

Ahhhh the MG is more fun but dreaded HGF is imminent in the 116. Just negotiated a 135 with HG replacement promise for £3000 total. PX on mine 2000 ... so should I buy 135 or stick with the 116 or buy the yellow porsche????? Ahhhhhh I have 24 hours to decide/ Or could blow the budget totally and get Ferrari 360 Modena for 35000?? ORRRRRR at extreme ltd Uk get the x-Power SV for 40000. Problem is I've spent a shed loads on cars in the past but the MG has been the most fun. But my daughter loves the 360????? I can see why!

OE Locking wheel nut key http://forums.mg-rover.org/showthread.php?t=471144&goto=newpost Sun, 20 May 2012 20:38:24 GMT Evening all! Just while looking through my glovebox, ash trays and door pockets on my ZR, it appears I don't havea locking wheel nut key!

I think the locking ones fitted are original (round with 2 slots either side? - under a metal cap) so if anyone has a spare key laying about for a mk1 ZR could you please send me a pic just to confirm its the correct one I need, or failing that, where could I get an OE one from?

Been noticing it missing a beat or two on acceleration, could this be the cause?
