New Boy, rather new oldy
Hi , I`m a newbie, John Matthews from Pershore, Worc, normally known as Spanner
Have had a series of 800s first one back in 93.
Currently its a Vitesse Coupe brought 10 years ago with 19k on the clock, now got 186k.
Been very good over the years, condition now pretty near mint, BRG with cream interior.
Plan 2 years ago to replace it with a smaller 2 seater, got the SLK , but still got the Rover.
Currently having just serviced the master and slave cylinders having major problem bleeding the system,
suspect its the Damper anyone any experience of these.
Other interests Boats and sailing
Regards Spanner

Re: New Boy, rather new oldy
I can vouch for Spanner's car. I reckon he washes it twice a day.I see it most mornings cruising at 29mph in a 30 zone.
No longer an 800 owner!

Re: New Boy, rather new oldy
Welcome to this fantastic forum of knowledge! 186k, that's truly a daily runner then? Plus with that said you will probably make the knowledge here even better!

Re: New Boy, rather new oldy
Thanks for the welcome lads, yes she up untill the last couple of weeks used daily, now semi retired and using
my executive Skoda pick up from the Company, real old nail, but keeps going, and keeps further mileage off the Rover.
Great wind up from my mates, and the neighbours are really impressed, slowly cleaning up, pity about the rot.
and saves me about £70 per week, all helps
