A friend of mine tells me a neighbour of his has a very old Rover lurking about not far from the meet, I'll try and twist some arms to get it/...

Re: 827 sli mk1 breaking

Hi midnite, The EICV is located behind the throttle body, best way I can describe it is if you follow the 8 vacuum pipes from the control box on the bulkhead the lumpy bit almost below where they turn from rubber to metal pipe is the EICV, it has a couple of water pipes going to it and a 2wire elect...

Re: Continental 827 Vitesse

That looks like a car with a story to tell 8)

Mk2 door handles are different, they will fit and open the doors but the lock barrel keying is 180deg out :roll:

Glad you like the car Jon, makes the trip worth it!

Not often you see a pair of Mk1c's together is it, was a good trip out and Helga enjoyed the drive too returning 30mpg overall.

Re: 1990 820Si G58 EOV

Devils advocate, £3K may be a lot but wheel trims and thingy on the rear bumper ignored it does look very nice....and I'm pretty sure someone with a little knowledge could get 100k miles relatively trouble free out of it.......100k for £3k seems cheap to me. Not that I'd advocate running a lovely ex...

What's the highest mileage 800 on here?

As my 827SLi clicked over 119K yesterday I got to thinking....how many more miles left in the old girl? I understand the Honda V6 is good for many more if looked after but I'm slightly less confident about the autobox, time will tell! A few years back I was selling a Sterling manual and got chatting...

Re: My Rover 825

Well worth saving, can't remember the last time I saw an early 825 on the road.

swap the steering wheel for a dark colour one, they look better and certainly won't look out of place but pleeeease don't fit that spoiler!!

Originality is King 8)

Re: Brad's Renault Grand Espace V6 24v.

There is no filler cap, no dipstick but there is a drain plug! No obvious refill point......did you see 'wheeler dealers' last week? They were messing around with a Boxster, same issue. It had a tube level thing around the drain plug that set the oil level, pump new oil in from the drain plug 'til ...
