Rover 200 & 400 Owners Club Forum

This style were standard on me boys 45 Expression, until he upgraded to 17's :laughing2 .... That's my boy :clapping I'd better to stick on 15". Suspension is harsh on 17". I love my comfort and do take care of my backbone. But each on their own... and your boy isn't as old as I am, even I don't co...

I guess John!
BTW I've found elsewhere on the flea bay that they may be called '5 Vision Spoke Alloy' with Part# RRC106034.

£60 for one! Oops!

Incidentally the nice seller found that her tyres were... 12 years old hence she is selling now the alloy lot for... 30€ or £27 ! :o No necessity to say that I've bought them... even they are 600 km or 370 mls far from home ! But my younger son will be kind to get them on my behalf because he lives ...

Thank a lot !
I'm bewildered by your knowledge on the matter @montegoman !

Hello chaps. I've got a good opportunity to get 4 alloys with good tyres (Starfire 185/55/R15 82V) for a very fair price 80€ the lot (£70)... nearly a steal! I'm told by the seller they come from a 214 SI mk 3. But which is the name of that alloy? And which models was it fitted to exactly? Directly ...

You do still have Theo Isaak, at Lemix Automotive Parts . We in the UK have the reciprocal problem where residual stocks are on the EU side of the Channel. I've got a suspicion that our aftermarket repair panels are all imported, so will be going up in price, possibly as I type! But his website loo...

Dampers have a lot of work to do so a new set after 20 years is likely to be noticed :D I'll see if I can find any reference to Orange springs but don't hold your breath... Alternatively, if anyone else with a Cabby wants to look under their wheel arches :wink3 If dampers were the genuine ones, the...

Hello John! Good news: old springs weren't yet in the bin and here they are with the colour of the stripe which appears rather orange-y. But why from orange I got pink & grey ones, I haven't the faintest clue... Anyone? https://www.mg-rover.org/attachments/img_14781-jpg.136244/ BTW after 22km (14mls...

Completed for my 3 Rovers.
If only I could have a taste of those cookies that were shown in the end!

Both the electric windows in my 25 1.4 failed a few years ago, not simultaneously but same year nevertheless. Each time the lifting motor within the door trim was the culprit. I bought on Ebay 2 good used mechanisms and hey presto they were back on duty. Don't forget to lubricate everywhere needed i...

Looking good :D What colour/s did your old spring have on them, if they were visible after all these years? Sorry Sir, they were damn muddy & mucky and I didn't make any effort to clean the old ones. I should have asked my good mechanic to put them aside to have a close look. I'll tell you my feeli...

Just to illustrate my new front springs colour code:

I'll have a closer feel tomorrow while going & getting the St Valentine's day meal at a restaurant. Have fun tomorrow :D ... at a restaurant :mope Don't despair & don't be fooled: due to the awful disease you should never tell the name :evil , here in France as well restaurants are closed... but it...

At last my springs arrived after a very long journey: 2 days only from Midlands to France (Lyon, then Toulouse), then a whole week pending waiting for French custom good will, then another week pending because French bureaucracy was requiring some missing papers (don't ask me which!) then nearly ano...

Regarding a possible mismatch or a damper damaged, I'll know tomorrow when showing the car to my good reliable mechanic. About the type of springs required I asked for neither rough nor lowering ones And here is Ron answer: " Pink is usually MG ZR but do not worry when i am in work i have original e...
