No, I plan to refurb it and keep it as a spare.

(unless the offer is big enough).

That's cool, it seems the IC in mine has gone, so only options are a new one (which can't find anywhere!) or find a broken one and refurb it with the hope it's only the "normal" failure in the second hand one...

Sam - there is a chap called Bren on MGRover.org who is taking a hedgehog with him to sell, not sure how to find him.

I'll also have my broken one.

She doesn't look a lot worse when she's been washed although the damage on the O/S/R is showing where the filler has popped again.

Feed up with the puney mk2 horn (and that it doesn't currently work) so I picked up the twin horns from a MGF

I flipped them over and drilled an extra hole in the brackets so I could fit them slightly proud of the radiator. I have fitted them where the upper mounts of the O/E airfilter housing bolt using the MGF bolts as they are shorter and wont dig into the top of the radiator.

Next job is to wire them up.
