Rover 200 & 400 Owners Club Forum

That isn't just a Rover quirk I believe that classic/vintage prices are higher across the board.

Prices are certainly firmer in Germany than over here!

I hope you enjoy the car and post a link to some piccies?

Do a search for Bobby Brown, he is the fob reprogramming guru.

Max said "The PO is sending me a cheque to compensate for the battery and ignition bits, and Interflora'd my mum some flowers too!"

That's one hell of a seller!

Some folk turn catching you out into a art form.

Good Luck & Happy Motoring in the GTi.

I remember some one [Jonny216GSi?] talking about always replacing the heat sink pad and glueing/sticking it to the module? There will be a thread in T&D some where.

The only time one of my R8's has completely died and refused to start full stop, the fault was the igniter module in the distributor. I think the T.C has a external unit to the distributor.

I can find two small filters, neither of which is asump type pickup filter; 1] under the twin gearchange soleniod on top of the box I expect that can be removed washe...

Try and start it every month for half an hour and get the engine warm, park with the handbrake off. You can buy plastic blocks to put under the wheels to help keep the tyres round. Take off the battery. Sitting outside parked up doesn't do them any good at all, but sometimes I appreciate that it can...

They are fluted and chamfered like a 1st tap.

Kevin must live on an airfield!

Well done! :laughing2 That's possibly the problem in my house, there is no one to say 'you've got too many cars!' apart from possibly the neighbours. I'm also picking up another one this weekend.... that's going to be five that I've got now! This means that the Charcoal Metalic 216SLi will be lookin...
