Unusually for aftermarket rims they look great. Fastbacks have always been my favourit design shape for the 800 and serie...

I have to tow a trailer sometimes, and not wanting to spoil the look of the coupe searched for a genuine towbar kit, I was fortunate enough to find one last year and a few weeks ago came across a brand new set of Rover electrics (so no cutting into the wiring). The 13pin trailer plug has a Rover bad...

The owners club will be accepting memberships from tomorow at the NEC- but if you want to get in early its possible to join from the website (www.rover800.org.uk) Dates for your Dairy: Below are dates of events which the Rover 800 Owners Club is planning to attend in 2016 although not confirmed and ...

Front N/S wheel https://farm1.staticflickr.com/710/22343158014_38ed32f6de_h.jpg Pothole damage by T_W_D , on Flickr No visual damage to the rear rim or tyre. I dropped the front rim off at Prescision Welding, they will have it repaired after lunch (£35 plus vat). Once its back on the car I will have...

Thanks for the advice Dave. I guess at the very least the inside of the two front tyres are bruised, so will have them both checked along with ballancing and alignment and a check of any other componants that might have taken damage. Unfortunately I only have four rims so if one or both turn out to ...

Hit a huge pothole last night at around 60mph - Never heard such an almighty bang. The car now has a heavy vibration right through above 30 mph - and I mean heavy, its not through the steering so I am hoping its only bent the rear rim and not damaged anything else, but its not like anything I have f...

Not sure about anyone else, but for me this is the most desirable Rover 800, having owned a BRG Diesel Fastback for some years myself. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1999-ROVER-825-SD-SILVER-/131630807180?hash=item1ea5ceb88c:g:0doAAOSwYHxWIqtJ I pray this does not get bought to be broken! I have never se...

Thats a great looking vehicle - 4wd's are an experience that everyone should have at least once. Plus...winters coming so your in for even more fun!

That is indeed a superb looking car. I have wanted a Vitesse for years, but one should know their weaknesses and so the only turbo I will own is bolted onto a diesel lump. Its not been easy to resist though and more than once I have almost given in...but I know it will be impossibe for me to keep a ...

I hope in time the confusion will eventually clear up and the Rover 800 Owners Club will be seen as a way of re-enforcing what the rover800.info community has already been doing well for years and should continue to do. We all know its hard to motivate members here to get involved with any other act...

Slave cylinder repair kit on fleabay : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Reparatursatz-Kupplungszylinder-Rover-Saab-Austin-144114-/361395183643?hash=item5424d4e01b For reference the OE part number is CDU2331EVA and the listing has a few more OE numbers as it turns out to be the same seal kit used in some M...

After posting in the wrong thread regarding the slave cylinder giving up on dartmoor here is the outcome. I spent a few hours on Thursday trying to get hold of the correct cylinder or service kit around Dartmoor/Exeter area for my car with no joy.... although my local supplier in Northampton found o...

I dont think its the age of the rubber - this has been going on since the 90s and no ammount of 'logic' is ever going to convince me to change pads on an 800 again without releasing fluid pressure. I may order a set of seals as the rest of the cylinder will be perfectly fine and I can keep it as a s...

First of all - sorry I posted the above in the wrong thread - i thought I was in my own one :/ Is there any way to move this to the diesel coupe thread? Secondly, I know exactly what I will find - the seal will have blown out allowing the fluid to drain, my theory is by not releasing the fluid the s...
