Rover 200 & 400 Owners Club Forum

Coincidentally, over on FB, S&V in Ossett got a glowing review yesterday. The reviewer was moved
to report that his wife also appreciated the resulting improvement in their SEi's performance.

That mirrors my experience about 10 years ago. The (young) Autoglass guy who did my first windscreen replacement wrenched the side trims off, and evidently damaged the clip apertures such that the next time my screen needed attention they had corroded around their edges, as well as in the areas you ...

On the 4-dr, the rear seat cushion is secured with one bolt centrally at the rear, through a wire loop. Two more wire loops at the front hook into apertures in the floor.
Undo the bolt and hinge the cushion forward to disengage the front loops.

The letters part is certainly defined, in the Rover WSMs for a start.

Presumably, because nobody has suggested it yet, there isn't a member with the same or compatible CD changer who could meet up for a temporary diagnostic swap-in?

I had occasion to 'clock' mine about 20 years ago to compensate for the estimated 50 miles I'd driven with a broken lower speedo cable.
I don't recall there was any need to separate the transparent screen. I think the entire instrument block withdrew from the back.

Could the 'Mode' button switch be faulty?

I can see a couple of bodywork easy wins to charge up your mojo - a dent man to look at the osf wing, and a bottle of Autoglym Bumper Gel.

This is definitely a case of the heart ruling the head when it comes to making a decision about going ahead with the repair🤣 I'm in that place with mine, moreso because they are lower-spec examples. BTW, the doors will lift off the hinge pins once opened past a certain angle. Preserves alignment wh...

'NK' leapt off the pic at me. A 'local' reg. So good to have another member in Herts!
Hope you have good luck with it.

Roland sounds like a man the Club should get friendly with!

Yeah im sure he is. He advertises on ebay. He also makes repair panels for the tailgate hinges.

Now that's something my 214 is in need of! Do you have a link/eBay username, or other contact details please?

I have bought new repair panels from a chap called Roland who has worked his whole career in the automotive sector for major manufacturers but in his spare time and for a hobby he make small runs or repair panels for cars that he like. Lucky for me he has a rover 200 brm, so has made new sill secti...

I have plenty of car park spaces and will have plenty of space on the inside.

Is there a faded "AVRO" sign on the building?

Can't begrudge a Mazda dealer getting a bit of positive publicity out of this, in exchange for their enlightened pro-activity. They're now a (small) chapter in the car's history whenever it gets a chance to be shown. I could see the handover to the Club becoming a mini-feature in their local newspap...

XPart have started offering stainless variants of certain coolant pipes.
Perhaps they could be steered towards a similar solution for these Cabby parts?
