Re: Rover 800 Wiper Delay unit

Brad,
Now that would explain why non of the MG guys have thought of using this before then :)
OK, well I won't go playing with the CCU as it's probably more than I can handle
Thanks very much Brad for the help anyway

Rover 800 Wiper Delay unit

Evening all, A few things have changed since I last posted as I now own an MG F and the Vitty went in the end to a new home. Anyway on doing some investigating I came across that one of the mods that are done to the MGF/TF's are the fitment of the R800 wiper and headlight stalks. There is some discu...

Well I've not updated this for a while, so thought I'd best do ;) The core plugs still haven't been done yet, mainly as one of them is behind the turbo and I'd noticed an oil leak from the induction side outlet hose of the turbo. So I decided that as it would be easier access to have the tub removed...

I do like the interior though not specifically the beige leather but the blue carpet and matching piping. Along with the red and green variants it makes the car look very luxurious (which it is I know). That's the same colour combination that's in/on mine. Although my personal fav is the beige with...

Glad it's gone to a good home and not some 'boy racer'!! I posted this up here this morning and within 30 mins it had been taken off eBay! :lol: Well done. EDIT** When you say window regulators, what part do you mean? If it's just the motors take a look at my earlier post in the eBay section, they a...

Don't know why I didn't even check this in the first place >> Just checked on Rimmers site and it states Early & Late 800 Coupe! So it is the same.

Some additional info.... I've done some further checking and it looks like the pre-96 wiring is the same colour coding and location, not sure about the plug type though. So the difference could be the physical shape/size of the motor/gear housing, so I've added some more photo's of my old one (which...

It says from '96 on. What will be the difference with the older models? ECU problems maybe? Unfortunately I can not find a wiring diagram for the pre-96fitment, so I've done a little checking as far as I can...... These photo's are of the one I took off my '98 Coupe..... Connector clip side... http...
