Re: 4 ...X.. 800s for sale. All the same seller

Coupe relisted at more reasonable price. I say reasonable but I would say that all depends on whether any welding will be needed. Does say will be supplied with new MOT though. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/rover-827-sterling-coupe-/151270050539?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item233865caeb Pictures from here? ...

Re: Rover 820Si £100 Mark 1

Guarantee the spares realised will not make a profit either, pragmatism and realism required. Best to wait for a running legal car rather than mess with something for which a bottomless pit of cash might be needed. However, in 25 years' time... Or a bottomless pit of parts? Although I reckon it sou...

Re: New leather interior for sale - beige

Electrics aren't a huge problem - they changed some of the wiring colours and all the plugs so you have to chop them off. It's tedious but doable (although I did it the other way round - facelift interior into pre-facelift car). Having said that I think the newer cars had seatbelt pre-tensioners wi...

Not all that shines is gold and who buys an 2.7 litre then fits a 'fuel saver' ?

Re: New leather interior for sale - beige

Is the issue here just flat panel vs fluted style, or is there something more technical to prevent its use in a 96-on car? The electrics are different on facelifted mk2 cars. IIRC the electronics are on the seat in the early mk2s whereas it is in a separate ECU in facelifted mk2 cars. Facelifted mk...

Re: O/S Front ABS Sensor

The way to establish that it is the sensor is to check the continuity/resistance across it.

I forget what value is correct for the sensor on the 800. There may be a thread somewhere on here which give the correct resistance reading.

Re: Various parts for sale - Alloys/Radio/Exhaust back box

I know a nasp box will actually fit, but as said above may hit the power of the car (although i couldn't tell the difference in performance on my previous car). I remember the shape of the back box was slightly different too which meant that it hung a bit lower than the turbo box. The best bet is pr...

Beige/Blue MK1 800 Early July 2013 Near Gloucester

I forgot to post this up.
In early July this year I was driving from Ross on Wye to Hampshire in my Bolero red coupe. I think I was on either the A40 or A48 near to Gloucester when I spotted a MK1 which I think was either blue or beige coloured. It was about 8.00/8.30am.

Was it you?
