This is an excellent thread and an excellent car. I too decided to put a second thermostat in mine, seemed more logical than fiddling with the original if it were only to go wrong again. Amazingly simple, yet boosted my economy by 7-10mpg. I am intrigued by the cruise control addition, my Club SE Tourer doesn't have it and it's the one thing I wish it had. Was it relatively easy to do or would you advise an expert to look at it? Also after retrofitting, was Testbook required to enable it or did it work straight from the box, so to speak?Looking forward to more updates with this thread

It's one of my most anticipated times of the year - no, not the Revival, though that is a close second, but the annual pilgrimage to Wales to see Rover 75 guru Jules Anderson and poke about the innards of the Tourer. Usually the list I had formulated has to be adjusted upon uncovering higher priority items, reviewing the budget and what parts are actually available. This time was no exception. My planned list:Front brake inspection, renewal of discs/flexis/pipes.Rear brake inspection, renewal of discs/pads/flexis.Gear lever play - replacement cables.Air con inspection (slight leak).Inspection of front suspension (see rusty turrets above).Firstly, I had been helping a friend pull up the floor of his new house when an auction listing for two Saab 900 Turbo seats came up for the incredible sum of £25, just down the road. I couldn't pass these up, so they joined me for the trip to Wales:20180904_150400 by Clifton Tausberger, on FlickrNext up, 250 miles to Colwyn Bay to accommodation.

Inspection had some good news - with cleaning and testing front brakes are given a good bill of health.20180905_101558 by Clifton Tausberger, on FlickrRear brakes however was a slight bother. Slight pull and vibration down to really only the right side being effective, and although the handbrake held (see previous work on compensator and adjustment), it wasn't perfect on both sides.

Also the front right damper was leaking and not long
