Re: Rover rat thing

Mk1 IR fob and sensor required.

The one on the turbo hasn't worked consistently for a few years so I lock it with the key, making sure the immobiliser is on. It used to but even changing batteries and cleaning the contacts didn't seem to help. After the incident last week, I'm hoping that a new fob and sensor will not only activat...

I refilled with water and apart from a very slight drop in level, hasn't done it since. I'm still at a ...

Absolutely not related to any form of bus purchase but the steering knuckle on an Accord looks remarkably like the one on an 800. So it's a how to for a bottom ball joint.

Re: My New Vitti......

Immobiliser ? you have the inertia switch inside the centre console but it leaves the PGFMI light illuminated constantly. The alarm would sound if its the later Mk1 immobiliser. That is correct.
