Steve's "daddy" I will be having some parts off your ZS I understand??
Rover 75 is more of an "old man's" car anyway - i run and hide now...... 
That's actually a really clean and tidy looking motor, did you go for the KV6 again or the smaller 1.8?

nice driving, just suffer underneath, so id maybe get under there steve and get some rust treatment done, and keep the rear spring clean to try stop the corrosion on them and obviosly the plenum, make sure the drains have the v cuts in them to help stop them blocking up, id make sure the fan is working too
