Re: 1989 Rover 827 Vitesse automatic
Hi Marc,
it sounds as if your speedo, rev counter and box are as they should be.
The 827 from start to finish (Mk1 to end of production in 1996) had Honda engines and gearboxes, what i'm wondering now is if my Sterling has a gearbox from a Legend with a slightly higher final drive/differential. The original Legend and 827 were almost identical, there were a few detail differences (eg the front upper wishbones) but other than that nothing to speak of except the obvious slightly different body styling/lights etc.
When the weather improves i'll try to see if there are any markings on the gearbox that would suggest anything other than factory spec. It's always been much livelier than any other 827 i've ever driven too so i've often wondered if it was some sort of special order.

Thank god!!
Thanks for your detailed information of the legend. It is something that you can research indeed.
Are you coming to Pride of Longbridge? Hope you are.
All the best.

Sadly not, a bit too much walking for me i'm afraid!
I'll see what i can find out about the Legend, it might have a different final drive or something.

Took the Vitesse for a long drive to visit another Rover enthusiast. Lovely weather so pictures are in order.

Very nice
Wouldn't look that clean and shiny driving it in the UK at the moment, the weather is just a bit wet.

Re: 1989 Rover 827 Vitesse automatic
Hello everyone,
I will upload some pics of the weekend on the forum this week. A shame that i did not got to meet everyone. Next time then.
My 827 Vitesse needs a new ''Transducer-speed sensor''. I will give it a go to clean and dry it. Alex Sebbinger has given me loads of advice but would like to have one here. If someone has a good one for sale i would love to have it and pay for it of course!
I need the six dial dash version.

Re: 1989 Rover 827 Vitesse automatic
Shame about the weather at the weekend Marc - also that i couldn't make it. As you say, hopefully next time.
Re your speedo sensor,if memory serves i think the part number is YBE10030 and i think i may have one floating around. It came from a 4 dial dash car but there was a time when it was fitted to both. I'll try and find it for you.

Re: 1989 Rover 827 Vitesse automatic
Yeah it was a shame that the POL field was a swamp but we still had a great day out and sunday was just epic! Great weather end great people!
Wow that would be great. Mr Alex Sebbinger said that the newer ones would not function. I checked the code and that is the more modern one with the black plastic. Mine has a aluminum sensor and a white plug that connects with the instruments.
All the best!

Re: 1989 Rover 827 Vitesse automatic
The white plug is the only one that will work with the early clocks.
Don't mind part numbers, if it aint got a white plastic connector it aint going to work.
They are not even wired in the same order and it doesn't work evenif the wiring is matched.

Re: 1989 Rover 827 Vitesse automatic
Forgot that i asked for help here in regards to the speed sensor.
The day after i asked it here i called a Rover specialist and the very same day, a sensor was underway. It is installed and it works great again. Thanks for the helpful information!
