Right Chaps. Here is the verdict When the seller said "The car has been kept under cover" what he realy meant was "The car has been kept under A cover on a grass verge"! Fortunately whilst it looks AWFULL underneath....the car must have been in such good condition before the grass its repairable. Th...

Looks like I might also need
6)a set of discs
7) at least one calliper, maybe more
8.) Radiator

it wasn't a tipping trailer : http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=111378731956 Good price and it must be around the same weight as the one you hired. Rosalind cleaned the rest of the front interior today. The wiper 'fix' doesnt work properly (wiper doesn't retract fully) so I will h...

Thanks for the exhaustive reply Dave. I have been gathering information the last few days and your post cleared up a few questions. I am a bit of a purist and so have to battle with myself over originality and making the car the way I like it. I like the look of these: http://www.carandclassic.co.uk...

http://www.classiccarsforsale.co.uk/car-advert/rover/800/1997/171320/ If I had seen this car before the coupe it would be sitting outside my house now! Please someone rescue it. Its Mot'd until the end of the month. EDIT: urgh....just saw the date it was placed..June 2012. Sorry :( Note to mods...pl...

I just realised reading the above; when I checked on the maximum towing weight (1600kilos and the coupe is around 1500k), it was because we were going to buy a rigid towing pole, but then changed our mind as there is a question of legality. So ironically, unless the trailer weighed 100kilos we avoid...

Wow...I am a happy chappy!!!! This car was my pride and joy for some years. I made a HUGE mistake selling it and regretted it ever since. You cant imagine how glad I am to hear its being taken care of...albeit with some challenges. I owned it for a few years and in that time (other than service part...

I am guessing there are going to be quite a few parts so rather than starting lots of threads will put them all here. 1) Black metal panel below the windscreen (think its called a scuttle panel) 2) The metal panel underneath the scuttle panel on the off side (covers part of the wiper mechanism) not ...

So... in case you didn't see it, as the car is officially mine it no longer belongs here in the ebay items so started a new thread in the Your Cars section

Good start, well done! We have a tourer (it is actually my wife, Michelle's car) 75 with the diesel engine and use it for towing our caravan, it is an automatic also. I would like to get the power upgrade, to either 135 or 160bhp. It was nice to read that your wife works on the cars as well, my wif...

Thanks for the advice 'Stevee G' will pm "verytallBrad" (sounds like a character from the Italian Job :) rovercoup - The nice vitesse alloys as you per Simons car are 17" (215/45 R17) so i dont want to spend money on 4 new 205/55 R16 tyres or I will be forced to keep the Sterling alloys. I dont hate...

What air con? Indeed. The car obviously had it but the pipes have been cut and not replace, condenser is missing too. That alone tells me it is a conversion. If all else goes well with the car then the air con can be my own project. link for BMC rally below. This is a good event with a good member ...

By the way, I need to find some Vitesse alloys quickly (tomorrow would be good) within reasonblae driving distance of Northampton

http://www.rover800.info/forum/viewtopi ... 14&t=12287

Wanted quickly! For my Diesel Coupe.....4x Vitesse wheels with good tyres within reasobale distance from Northampton. No way am I buying 4 new tyres for my Sterling alloys! or multifit alloys with tyres (4x114.3) with multispoke or hairpin design. Only thing is i am on a budget to get the Diesel Cou...
