Rover 200 & 400 Owners Club Forum

My question is: These with the Ref: RND 106010 that I have located in a scrap yard are any of those models? {I have been told that it is from a ZR 160). I have searched for the part number RND106010 just with Google. I'm getting a lot of references that say they are for the 200/25 2-litre diesel mo...

Thanks saved me making a mistake there, very grateful Will look out for correct spec Ecu do you have a photo of the potentiometer? Cheers Below is just an Ebay image - but it shows the potentiometer - that black thing at the top with its white plug. All ECU case mouldings have "ears" cast into them...

You do need to match the part code exactly to the one you have, so the R00 version will be no good. For reference: The Honda part codes all begin with "37820" for the R8 (and Honda Concerto) Then: PP4 - SOHC 216 PP5 - DOHC 216 Then: E01: Non-cat, manual gearbox E51: Non-cat, automatic gearbox G01: C...

Back in 2016 i had to replace the drivers side wing on my Ex's Rover 25. Upon removal i found a quite healthy seedling growing out the dirt in the bottom corner. I guess this was why the paint colour was called Arbour Green! Oh - if we're going towards the natural occurrences of stuff in a Rover, t...

Not me but I think someone in the club found a rear view mirror in the plenum chamber on a 200 series. We postulated that the person who left it there was using the mirror to "see behind" the bulkhead panel, perhaps whilst fixing the wiper linkage. I've only ever found the odd copper coin in mine :sad

That’s my plan-I’ve checked the earth on the front panel; this and the earth cable have zero resistance. By the looks of the wiring diagram this one is the most relevant to the alternator, but for the sake of 20 minutes I’m going to remove the headlamps and check the earth points below those, too. ...

Hi can eny one tell me the probable cost of fixing the head liner which is sagging over the passenger visor ,the liner is pristine just apache two foot by one ,not bad but annoying George You won't be able to fix your existing headliner with glue. The reason it's sagging is that the scrim foam on t...

All working on my Android 9 smart phone, as well as my Windows 10 PC.

Not sure what the problem is to be honest, as they're all working for some people.

Hello everyone, So Steve (our former Treasurer and current Webmaster) has worked really hard to add a huge number of original Rover adverts for the cars covered by our club on the website. These can be found by choosing to the "Cars" menu on our home page. Then click on any of the "models covered" o...

The last one - an AGM Banner on my better half's daily (25 1.4) - lasted 3 years & nearly 6 months. Not too bad even not the best performance in the world, but the car is doing lots of short or very short journeys. I purchased a Varta C6 for my car, which is the right one for the British (I think) ...

Thank you for the technical explanations.
Nevertheless I hope that I'll not have to disconnect the battery so soon. Fingers crossed!

I do it all the time when the car is stored. The reconnect plus 4 lock-button pushes has worked every time so far - and on two fobs as well. Don't panic!

But what I don't understand is why the alarm waited 5 long days after the fitting of the new battery before reacting?! :S :blink I don't know either, but basically the 5as system rolls the code on after a battery disconnect, so after reconnecting unlock the drivers door with the key, then press the...

They are part of the demister ducting, so only work when the output knob is set to demist. …when the windscreen symbol is selected as the target for the air... I didn't actually know this. I nearly always have the heater set to windscreen anyway as I find the heating effect gentler rather than havi...

In addition to this, has anyone ever attempted this before? either on an R8 or another car, and would they have any advice? Try a Terraclean (https://www.terraclean.co.uk). Worked for me. A couple of flat spots during acceleration, though this was on a Honda engine 216. I had a dyno test on a Mahle...
