new rover owner

I am a new member but have been reading the forum for a while, I recently picked up a 95 Rover for 1k it runs and drives great the only problem I had driving it home was at one point when I was turning in to the gas station at a slow speed the abs activated all of a sudden on its own almost ran into the guy in front of me. When I got home I quickly looked up the problem on the forum and decided it would be safest just to pull the fuse, and so far so good. The truck has low mileage I think it just hit 80k or so, but it does have some of the usual problems such as leaking sunroofs and most likely clogged drain tubes as well as other minor little things. I figure the best way I can go about getting my rover where I want it to be daily driver/ Moderate off road toy is to just go over the entire rig make a list and attack problems one at a time or I feel it will seem overwhelming lol . It is my current daily driver and has been doing the task very well so far (knock on wood) , my commute is 50 mile round trip and im averaging 14.8mpg. The only I guess you could say modification I made so far was removing the plastic trim on the front bumper since it was falling off to begin with. Well I just thought I would make my first post of many I foresee in the future and say hi.
