Good luck on your rally to Mongolia and pray that the 800 behaves itself for you.

love the map vinyl on the boot.

Great. I am pleased that I could help you out.

Did you get some spare wheel nuts, Ollie?

We will do our best to get her back and return some of your spares.

Unfortunately not. Ordered some on eBay, but were too small. No time now so just going to risk it.

Follow our progress on website or Facebook.

HELP PLEASE

The Rover was going strong until it hit the roads of Turkmenistan (rubbish roads) where the suspension broke, which in turn sheared our driveshaft. We have replaced the suspension. We went to a garage where they welded the driveshaft back together, but it is not a great job so trying to get a new one. I've bought one on eBay and have had it shipped out to us in Almaty in Kazakhstan (where we are now), but it is not going to come in time as our visa's are going to run out.

Therefore this is my question for you guys?

Is the drivers side driveshaft on this 1994 Rover 827 SI Auto the same on any other cars? Such as Honda Legend. If so any advice on part numbers etc. Any help would be much appreciated.

Here's the one that I bought on eBay (part number 221478143495)

Cheers Ollie

Sorry I can't be any use in answering your question, but good luck getting it sorted - that some misfortune there, you've done well to repair as much as you have!

I would expect it to be the same as the first generation Legend but other than that I can't say

BREAKING FOR PARTS CONTACT ASAP

16000 miles, 23 countries, 8 weeks!

What an incredible car this has been. BUT its time has come and it is sadly off to the scrapyard on Saturday. So please contact me ASAP if you would like any parts off it. The radiator is only 6 months old.
