I attended to some things on my 827 Vitesse.

It had been a while. My father's Rover 827 needed its MOT but before that some issues had to be attended to. https://i.postimg.cc/zDnVbvH1/1.jpg The fuel lines on the tank were rusty and leaking. New ones were made by a mate of ours: https://i.postimg.cc/85vsbPyM/2.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/BvkXD1CJ/...

You are welcome guys!
Yes, it cleans up nice!

There was a nice car show nearby. After meeting with friends we headed to the event! https://i.postimg.cc/wxWWtmvt/1.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/rmMh4Gx4/2.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/Jnxp5y52/3.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/wMbFnSP5/4.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/Pqm3NVph/5.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/YqZbRBQM/6.jpg...

Thanks guys! It did receive positive glances. It was a great meet and it looks timeless i think. It does not look modern like the bugeyed monsters clogging up the road now but it doesn't look ancient as well. It still is chique without being to stately and expensive without being brash. Well done Ro...

Took my 827 Vitesse out to a Oldtimer meet in Klazienaveen. Awesome cars! First gave the old girl a wash: https://i.postimg.cc/y6RpzRhy/IMG-20230503-203611.jpg Lovely weather, people and cars: https://i.postimg.cc/X7hRgWgs/IMG-20230507-111754-2.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/WzzyMYqR/IMG-20230507-110319.j...

Cheers guys!

Excellent stuff Mark! Where did the mystery component come from? Got a couple of ideas what it may be but difficult to be sure just from that view and not knowing whereabouts it lives.

Thanks Dave!

It lives near the throttle valve. More to the dashboard.

This weekend it was time for new oil and oil filter on the 3500 Vanden Plas:

Since a while i noticed that the coolant level dropt slowely in the expansion tank. I wanted to find out what is what. At my new place of work i am lucky that they dont mind you working on your own car as well. Great! After a check we found a leakkage. https://i.postimg.cc/YSwV9Xn2/1.jpg At one of t...

You hear this more often nowadays. Quality of batteries is going down.
Good luck with the oil change!

Thanks Dave! Really happy here. Lovely area.

Thank you Henrik! Proud of it!

Because we moved a long distance, some things changed. That is not a bad thing but you just have to adjust a bit. In the past i did the oil service at a friends place. Now at home on the drive. :) I did buy some ramps so working is more easy and safe. Just for laughs, installed the fender protectors...
