Re: 1993 Rover 827 Si automatic
Great fun changing the starter on an 827 isn't it Marc? Go in through the wheel arch! :? More excellent work and great job on the steering wheel, definitely an incentive to do mine if i keep it! :wink: :D Yes I went in through the wheel arch. I must say, the 827 V6 is a clever piece of design. Such...

Re: 1993 Rover 827 Si automatic
An update on my father's 827 Si. For a while we noticed that when you wanted to start the engine, the engine would not turn over. There was just the clinking noise. I contacted a Rover specialist and he confirmed our suspicion that the starter motor was at fault. Ordered a rebuild one from them. It ...

Re: 1989 Rover 827 Vitesse automatic
During the hibernation i took my chance to tackle some issues with the interior. In the past i painted both frond seats and the steering wheel (also repaired the driver seat). Only the passenger seat looks good still but the other and the steering wheel sadly deteriorated quickly. I'm not an profess...

Sunday washed the SD1, filled it up, pumped up the tires, took it for a spin and put it in winter storage. :) https://i.postimg.cc/HW0rVF1Z/7.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/1twf0jnz/8.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/SRGR3YGF/9.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/SR4jgfCf/10.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/0NLzwsN3/11.jpg https://...

Re: 1989 Rover 827 Vitesse automatic
Nice weather this weekend so i took my chance and cleaned the 827 Vitesse, filled it up, pumped up the tires, took it for a spin and put it into winter storage. :) https://i.postimg.cc/Bn4cj2zD/1.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/xdFKph1y/2.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/hP91422c/3.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/Pxp1gyL...

Re: 1982 Rover 3500 V8 Vanden Plas automatic.
You're welcome Marc, i've always been interested in the 1986 ish Mercury LeSabre as i think they're nice looking cars. Being a Ford brand, many parts should cross to other vehicles and be relatively cheap compared to some other marques. Mercury Sable you mean? The Robocop car? No Marc - what i real...
