Ooh, does that mean we should expect to see it for sale once you've fixed it?

Should also add that the car is located in Swindon, Wiltshire.

Thank you for looking.

SEE 2ND PAGE FOR MORE DETAILS ON THIS GENUINE DFS STYLE BANK HOLIDAY EXTRAVAGANZA Original thread can be found here here . It has been mentioned elsewhere, but I thought I'd better advertise it here properly in case the lucky new owner hasn't seen the advert yet! For sale is my 1998 Rover 820 Sterl...

Belt tensioner? Ours sometimes knocks on idle.

I've checked it religiously over the last few days and the level has been spot on every time. I wouldn't say the leak has gone, but it has definitely slowed.

From the enquiries I've had so far I get the feeling this is going to be a hard car to shift...

Honestly? I don't know. After nearly crushing myself under the car a few weeks ago I've been reluctant to go under again.

Yes I've put it up for sale, I'm very probably taking on my dad's Fastback and the Coupe needs to go. As I said in the advert the leak still needs looking at, but it drives fine now and I've not had to top it up recently. Reasonable offers will be considered. Scrapping is not currently on the cards,...

May be there in the Coupe depending how things go this evening (working late this evening). If I manage to wake up in time, see you all tomorrow. If I don't then have a good day! So you have sorted out the gearbox leak then, well done! Not quite, it seems to have stopped by itself :S well, it's onl...

Shame to hear you're scrapping the Lexus, but understand where you're coming from. At the end of the day they are just tin and rubber...

Which one of the Renaults is going? The silver spares Vel Satis?

I've written and rewritten this post so many times I've lost sight of who I'm trying to convince - me, or the rest of the world. Opinions have been noted and I am grateful for them. My stance has not changed and I will not be continuing the search for this leak, rendering it a definite spares/repair...

Confession time! My interest in this car is rapidly disappearing. It's not a bad car but I really need to focus on other things going on in my life at the moment and having one non-functioning car is ridiculous, a second slightly broken one even more so. I can't afford to fix either of them and the ...

Hi Ian, just saw your reply. Glad you're looking after it! Yes it had a tow bar when my grandad had it, he's a caravanner so used it twice a year to pull the caravan in the above pictures. Although R883NKV was used to tow something a little heavier... When my grandad bought the diesel he passed the ...

Having said all that, is your torque converter locking up correctly on the open road in your 820i coupe? You should feel something similar to an extra gear-change about 50-55mph under acceleration (not flooring it, just normal) and it should drop out again about 45-50mph on a traililng throttle, as...
