Rover 200 & 400 Owners Club Forum

I'm not sure there is going to be much of a market for old diesels soon, Bristol is talking about banning all diesels from the city centre completely, with a charge to enter a larger surrounding zone. I would get a quote from a licensed vehicle dismantler to take it away; you need to sign off on a c...

Just to add to that fine reply from Jon; the non cat DOHC D16 engine had different cam shaft profiles and different cam timing I believe. That is according to my Honda Engine Manual, shouldn't make any difference to the head gasket fit though.

I've sent you a p.m Paul!

Unfortunately I won't be there, the boiler is broke & I don't want to leave the house without heating all day.

My 1.4 K Series goes like a rocket, in fact to much power compared to the mediocre brakes :sad I think that all the 2/416's came with a bonnet acoustic blanket whereas the lower spec 1.4's didn't, that seems to make a lot of difference to cabin noise levels. Still possible to mix and match before al...

Thank you to John & Jeremy and every one else who made the day by attending!

Sorry I didn't show afterwards, I shot off to hunt down a prescription.

There is a locking feature on the adjuster so suss it out before turning the adjuster nut; you want more of ...

Stick with a good quality 10-40. Honda dealer serviced my D16 auto before I bought it with a 5 or 10-30 engine oil a...

Decided to drop out looking at the weather forecast 70 % chance of rain all day & its nasty road via Oxford.

I have a SOHC Auto, I will nip out and look while it's not raining. Edit: As you look at the engine and both oil feed banjo unions on top of the box, underneath the distributor. The l/h/pipe nearest to the drivers side & closer to the slam panel; as you know they turn into hose that are strapped tog...

That's worse than the peel on my red GTi and somebody gave it a cheap blow over before I got it.

You're catching me up!
