Rover 200 & 400 Owners Club Forum

There's not a lot about the XUD engine in the Rover Service Mechanical Fault Finding Manual but what's there does point to the injection pump being worn or out of adjustment. Does anyone else have more experience with these engines? It may be necessary to find a local garage with experience of eithe...

This thread is aimed at identifying the components are most at risk of degrading and/or failing on an R8 over 25 years of use - it is not aimed at body corrosion which can be covered at a separate time, or faults. The sources of these replaced components are my M-reg Coupe, an L-reg 416 and an N-reg...

Great pics of the 'Best Car' winners. Less good of the handover of the prizes

We hope you find it interesting and helpful here

Have to ask though, what does 'NDF' refer to?

NB. This is Tom Morley's event we are just one of many Owners Clubs attending. It is a very enjoyable event with the added attraction of being at the interesting MK museum, if you get the time. Nice tea shop too. No pre-booking is necessary and entry to the event is free but as it gets busy it would...

Just to reinforce Paul's thanks - it was great to see so many good looking cars and happy owners at the show yesterday. It does take a bit of time and effort to get things sorted so that the event runs this well but it's worth it when it does. The sun coming out helps too :D More pics to follow, I'm...

Murf’s shopping list completed on time and delivered back to gaydon, then on to Warwick. Who’s next :cool You won't be disappointed :angel All the work that was needed to be done was done but not the stuff that wasn't necessary. All this and a local welder and MOT station! My car does feel a whole ...

Any chance that I can have it?

I've had a last minute change of plans, I was going to Prescote Hill Climb.

It'll get you in but not your car. You'll have to park in the public car park....

Nudge Pls add your car info asap as it'll make getting the cars into position on the day so much easier :D Additional info from the organisers:- - Display vehicles must arrive between 7.30am and 9.30am on the day of the show. - Please have your tickets to hand and clearly display your window hanger...

The alphabet police would like to speak with you about the placement of J and K.

Or was it a test and have I won a crisp tenner ?

I'll try harder on Sunday!

A coffee might make its way to you if you say hi at the event

Getting ready to get our cars arranged in year order



There will be marshals to point arrivals to the correct spot so that we can see the development of our models over time
