Re: 1999 Rover 820 British Racing Green Fastback for sale

See photo album

I've put a million photographs of ALL the spares that quite frankly I cannot be arsed to list here or eBay.

There is enough to keep an 800 running for 100k or more. (7 front ABS sensors and 3 fuel filler necks for instance)

I need the space literally and figuratively.

Re: Hello. >>> 1993 Rover 820i

I'd also vote for TPS. Throttle position sensor. As the car has 42k on the clock and has been laid dormant for some time before being recommissioned. It is possible that the part of track in the TPS that controls idle and light load has worn out prematurely. The full throttle test will determine if ...

Re: Alucard7002 - Mk2b 820Si Fastback - Pic Heavy!

Treated the old girl to a good wash, clay and wax yesterday as it was a nice day. Also hoovered out the inside for the first time in far too long :oops: Had a bit of a hiccup on Friday with the ;ast working fob dying on me. I borrowed an E-Bike from work to get me home and came back on Saturday morn...

Re: Charles' early 92 827 manual coupe

Even better! That's £45 saved that you can use for the grease etc on the bushes/springs on the clutch pedal! I can't remember who it is/was but they had recently done some work on the clutch and/or gearbox and the clutch felt soft, not very long travel etc, generally as if the slave cylinder was on...

Re: Hello. >>> 1993 Rover 820i

Silly question but a 1993 early T16 with 42K on it will no doubt be suffering from sticky exhaust valves?

Have you tired a good old fashioned Italian Tuneup?

Re: Hello. >>> 1993 Rover 820i

have you tried the Throttle body stepper motor reset? Ignition on to position 2, press the throttle from 0 - 100% five times within 20s and you should hear the stepper motor going doolally as it relearns where the idle position is. Does it die under idle conditions only? Especially when dipping the ...

Re: Alucard7002 - Mk2b 820Si Fastback - Pic Heavy!

Is there not a "dog-bone" on the Vitty? I know there's meant to be a certain amount of movement in them or it could damage the bulkhead so you may find cold-cure PU is too "solid" for it. Certainly enjoying the beers! There is one on the vitty and you read my mind. I was thinking of using some card...

Re: Alucard7002 - Mk2b 820Si Fastback - Pic Heavy!

Sorted! After a long weekend of gearbox wrangling I have an 800 with all 5 forwards gears and reverse. More importantly I have one that has good diff bearings! :lol: A few photos and a couple of videos for you all. Looks like I only had another maybe 50 miles left before the old gearbox spat the dif...

Re: Alucard7002 - Mk2b 820Si Fastback - Pic Heavy!

Yup, the only thing in the code I can't figure out nor find out is the H on the end. The KV6 'box is the only PG1 to have this letter on the end. Not even the Lotus versions have it. My hypothesis is that it stood for Handbuilt. Seeing the broken circlip and the handwritten "KV6" on the bellhousing ...

Re: Rear wheel arch repair sections

Unfortunately both rear arches on my Vitesse have been cut up by PO to fit 18" wheels. Else I'd have said I can cut them out and send them to you.
