Not sure where this belongs so....Depends if it's a'proper' Bosal swan neck or a crappy looking fabricated box section, Witter type bar. I gave away my Witter type too.
Currently have a nice sturdy tow bar on my MV6 that HAS 2 come off!!
How much,if anything,are these things worth secondhand?? (see how much I trust you guys!!)
Cheers
I think the Rover engineers did a proper job from what I've heard - doing what they wanted to do with 75, and not what BMW wanted them to do. As said, RWD, different gearbox, 18" wheels, uprated brakes...One little thing spoils it when you open the bonnet! An oval with F0rd in the middle sitting on the plenum chamber staring you in the face.
I'd want a Rover version if they'd done one rather than the carbon fibre go-faster MG version that they actually produced. It would have been a successor to the last proper in house designed & built Rover P5B (A coupe would have been nice 
)Can you put Kurust on the joints of an exhaust?...... but exhausts generally rot from the inside out.
Just sold Project AKeep your fingers crossed the new owner doesn't need advise form an on-line owner's group dedicated to Vx Omegas! :-?

Sold it for £750
...... So £300 profit for basically 3 full days of work. Yay!!!

If it helps at all, the weight at the front of a still connected bonnet is 9.5 KG, you will obviously have to allow for the fact that the fulcrum will be carrying some of the weight - not sure what the proportion is (long time since maths at school!), but I would have thought 15kg would be a reasonable max.That doesn't take the gas struts/springs into concideration though. The bonnet on my wife's Astra G catches me out every time cos I have to lift that myself & it's heavy!
In case you are wondering, just went out and used my fishing scales

.....Yes! and too fast.
Pity it's a slushbox though, don't they break if you tow them too far? .....
...... but I dont think it will be the last I hear of the seller.As it's unlikely he/she'll turn up on the door step it's not something I'd lose sleep over.
.....Does that include the RWD Ford V8 powered MGZZ.....(what ever it was called)? That one did look nice.
that and the terrible reliability (i used to work in the workshop for a Rover dealer)
....wish I could have afforded thisWhy would you want to buy a FWD car?

..........So after he'd topped up with the new engine oil he obviously didn't use the dip stick to check the level!
" It only turns out when he changed my engine oil and filter he had took the wrong blooming sump plug out,so the only engine oil that dropped was via the oil filter....so the other oil was the bloody auto box oil....So my engine oil was basically one and a half times over full and my auto box had hardly any in it. ......
