welcome aboard!

Are the marks from hood dye maybe from a previous attempt to clean it up? That stuff sticks like glue to paintwork! Try some metallic T-Cut and see if it comes off.

UPDATE !!!

I have bought a hardtop, see pic, I think it looks great ( i would have bought a black, silver or blue depending on which came up first, was close enough and price)
( also I can highly recommend driving the A507 from the A10!!)
now I have to put in a circuit for the heated rear screen, has anyone hear done that ??
From what I can see the different layouts make it difficult to buy the right bits !
I think ours is a MK2 ??
has anyone done a guide ??




@ talkingcars I bought some clay (eBay £5) on your advise, WOW it just lifts the spots out, with out sticking them to the clay,
very weird stuff if you've never used it, cleans really well, but leaves a big mess !!!!

@ leigh Ping I was stressing about changing the clock as it looks broken but have just seen your YouTube clip with biro...awesome !!
thanks for that !!

Fish around in the rear by the passenger seat and you'll find the loom for the heated window.

Your car is Definatly a tf so mk2 or tf switch will fit or try a freelander one as there the same.

All you need is a relay and switch, the lead will be behind the switch panel in your centre consol.

Oh...... Get the hard top off!!! Summers here!!

@Andy the tyre man thanks for help !! rest assured hard top in shed till oct !! it was hard work driving 50miles home with it on the car on Sunday
s'pose it stopped me getting sunburned

also bad news..... amber engine warning light has come on/staying on my wife took it in to local MG/Rover garage for advise/cheeky diagnosis
where the staff were obnoxious to rude......took it to local independent who looked at it straight away but couldn't get computer to communicate with car

dunno what next step is....

Next step is to buy an OBD2 reader off ebay. Then you can reset the light after checking the fault codes.
You can buy a plug in one or get a bluetooth unit that sends the info to your smart phone using an app called Torque
