Re: New guy here

As I lift off after accelerating hard, I get an ever-so-slight 'chirp' noise - it's certainly not an atmospheric dump valve noise, I've just put it down to the standard re-circ valve doing it's thing.

Re: New guy here

Hi Jason, Good luck with the 800 and the BRM. I was down at this place about 6 months ago http://www.chestermgroverspecialists.co.uk/ . Aside from being a decent, if small, Rover/MG breakers, the guy who runs it is also restoring 2 BRMs. He's a friendly, knowledgable guy - if you're in Southport, it...

If you can find a way of stringing it all together, might be worth compiling this info with Mo's post here:

Re: 820 Turbo or Vitesse model

Can you do one for the progression of Mk1a/b/c's. A lot of folk seem (understandably) unclear about the differences on those! :? Lord Sterling, certainly ex of this parish, has done so. http://rover800.info/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=4548 I think when it went up, there were a fair few corrections ne...

Re: Thinking about getting a Rover 827SI Limousine

I'm sure most insurance companies (if not all) have to allow you to cancel insurance and issue a pro-rata refund (minus an exorbitant 'administration' charge of course).

Re: 1993 827sli fastback with full leather

...because if you don't, it doesn't really matter. Keep it and you'll resent spending the money on a car you don't like, and if you're trying to sell a car that 'needs money spending', you probably won't get enough to warrant the hassle. If you like the car - I'd keep it. Spend enough to keep it goi...

Re: Wanted 1997 820 Vitesse Rear Tailgate glass

I've got one but not British racing green :( http://i449.photobucket.com/albums/qq220/mrpcpc/3rdrearnearside_zpsf1d4e238.jpg I spent ages on this car converting it from an 825 to an 827 Mk1c spec only to have some moron with a tattoo neck write it off for me. When did that happen?! Gutting - that w...

Re: My first vitesse

Is there anything that can be done to sort leaking boot seals? On mine it's definitely not the lights, they're siliconed to within an inch of their lives, and the sunroof drains have been reconnected (both of which have made significant contributions to reducing the leak) but still got a tiny puddle...
