I have just received in the post today and installed it the Rover epc and played with it for a while....I'ts handy to know the prices of things before I order them and the part no's of course
Hi, I did not know that there was different months but on the disc it has (end 2005) Does this make a differance though as everything is online so it must be constantly updated? Is this not the case?
I was down my local reg vardys this morning which only sells new Rover parts!
I have only just discovered this a few days ago so have bought all the odd stuff that is not available on ebay new like the bracket to hold the cables behind the hand brake etc
I told them the other day that I was biulding a kit car and they were quite interested so today when I went to pick up the parts they gave me 20% discount and a half hour tutorial on the epc which I thought was good!
They were telling me that it's almost certain that China will be making the mgzr and zt soon
Where do you get the EPC from
Dont think i need it as the only thing i have yet to get is the brake carriers for the ZR
i have found the rest of the braking system on line Calipers/disc's
Jerry I already have all the calipers and carriers but am wanting to replace with zr160 ones which are different as they can accomodate the 282mm discs instead of the 262mm which is on the lower spec zr and 25 which are all the same apart from abs sensors or no sensor
The caliper assembly for the 25 and zr 105 is showing at about £68 and the zr 160 calipers at £141 each
MG ZR160, Rover 25GTi, MG ZS180 all share the same front discs and calipers (282mm).
But beware that changing the calipers may effect pedal feel.
I've had to swap to a larger master cylinder from a ZR160 to get a nice firm pedal.
You can also use ZR/ZS discs with Rover 620Ti/623GSi Auto calipers with only minor modifications.
HTH?

Jerry, You can get the carriers and calipers off Rover main dealers at a price of £ 141 caliper and £41 carrier each for the zr 160 but I have been told by Rover that these will only fit under a 16" wheel!! I'm not sure about this maybe someone else can clarify.
You can load it rto Nero or you favourite CD burner program and make an EPC Cd with it.
Or you can do what I do and use Deamon tools Virtual CD and just use the files. That way you don't have CD's all over the place. I'm not a tidy person!
I need help with installing this if anyone can as when trying to install it will not give me a directory for location and the ones that are available are current programs! Only succeded in crashing system a few times so far
create a directory on the C: drive called epc so c:\epc
Click on Grants link. When asked select save to and select c:\epc.
Open epcaug2006.rar in c:\epc. Just double click it and it should open in Winrar.
Click extract to button then select ok button. This should start extracting the files.
Now open your CD burning program like Nero. In Nero, you select File, Open Image file. Point it to C:\epc\epcaug2006\epcaug2006.ISO once it's been extracted.
Then Burn to CD.
If the setup don't run when you insert the Cd, run setup.exe on the CD.
Select ok or next all the way through till the end.
I have downloaded it again to c:\epc and extracted files and each time I try to run or install, it gets so far and then asks for directory to install to??
My last epc already had the directory there
