That's not a problem because one of the plugs on the back of the stereo does AM and FM - just need to experiment to see which.InTheRover'Over' wrote:Remember that 800s have a twin antenna feed, the metro does'nt

I had a feeling you were on about this one - while I never received one with the car, I do have a similar one which I purchased for a very low price on ebay a few months back. Alas, mine came with bugger all in it except the dividers (and another surprise - see below). Although it has the same style dividers to the one you found in the kv6.Lord Sterling wrote: Certainly:

Must be something along those lines, the car Mo mentions above could be a description for mine! R reg Ascot SE in Nightfire Red...only difference being mine was sold for £7,500 in 1998.BennyVitesse wrote:Those folders are a rare sight, usually if you bought a 100 you got the dingy grey plastic folder! It almost seems to depend on where the car first came from.
Thanks, I agree it's a nice colour - I personally think it suits the 100 more than it did my grandad's 800, but each of the cars carry it off well. I daresay the trims will be coming off at some point, they look extremely bland.BennyVitesse wrote:Well done on the car, Nightfire is one of the best colours the 100 came in, although I do advise ditching those trims, I swapped mine for Metro GTa trims and the fuel consumption went down!
Cheers gents, I will bear this in mind when I eventually get round to replacing the unit. I think I'll bide my time though and wait for a decent R960 with CD changer - be better looking in the dash and wouldn't look out of place (although any form of upgrade looks out of place in a rebadged Metro, no?)Richard Moss wrote:InTheRover'Over' wrote: wrote:

I do like things like this - small things which on their own may be worthless, but together create a better impression for the car in question, whatever it may be. Right down to keyfobs. Which is where my 'expertise' comes in!Lord Sterling wrote:There are a still quite a few Rover 100s around scrappys and breakers so apart from the usual parts, you can find stuff like this in them.
I have a collection of keyfobs/keyrings/tags/etc. Mainly Rover ones. However I recently acquired these two with the Rover folder above:
Two 'Sterling' Fobs! Apologies for the poor photo, but I think you can gather that they've got the American Sterling badge on their fobs. Whilst not necessarily a collectors item, nor a rare item, they'll go well with the others I've got. Always on the lookout, so if you've got any old dealer keyrings/fobs you no longer want then let me know and I'll buy 'em off you

After a couple of weeks of small journeys around the houses I've come to a decision.
As with all the other cars I've bought over the year, I am considering selling it. Not because there is anything wrong with it, but because it's just not the car for me - I can't quite drive it like any other car I've driven before.
Would anybody be interested? Ideal runabout, uses buger all fuel. Open to offers around the 370-400 mark.
(I may have found a replacement already - something similar to a car I've had before, in a way. I don't necessarily need to sell this car to finance the purchase as I've had an extremely productive month at work, but I'd have nowhere to store it in the meantime)
