hi guys and gals a few q's. temp gauge never rises up to the middle it sits just below half way is this a big problem or nouthing to panic about. also a bulb has just blown behind the heater controls i am hopeing it is easy to get to and that i dont need to take the dash to bits to replace it. i brought the car about 3 months ago knowing it had a few probs the major problem is it needs a new front bumper as the bloke i brought it from liked scraping it against other peoples bumpers, is there anywhere i can get a second hand bumper that is already painted as i know these can be expensive from mg-r apart from that the car is spotless with no dings on any scuffing on the alloys.

The temp gauge is OK and the bulb is easily replaced. What colour is your bumper ?

its green not sure what green 2002 5dr not sure that will help. i have heard these cars come with lemans green and british racing green not sure if thats true but they seem the same to me. do you know how i get to the bulb. it looks like there is only 2 behind the dash as 1 and a half still lights up and 1 and a half doesnt. or is there 3 and 2 off them are gone

If you get the paint code off the door pillar there's a list of all the colours as a 'sticky'. It will be 3 letters... as an example mine is PBT .

The temp gauge is fine. Just below ½ is where it should be.

Have no idea about the dash though...
