Thomas do you know if the bumpers are original as mine has the larger front bumper with headlamp wash yet the smaller rear bumper? coincidence that they are the same?

I haven't had this car very long so have not done an oil change so any top up would be semi synthetic 10/40 form a leading brand such as Castrol, however when I carry out an oil change I shall switch to Mobil 1

Welkom Thomas! I too often visit Belgium although I am mostly in Brussels, I am currently trying to find work there as I'd like to move back there permanently.

If I do manage this, I will of course bring one of my 5 Rover 800s with me and we could probably meet up.

Tot ziens!

Welcome Thomas, great pictures, I also see a couple of nice 600's, always liked the 623GSI surprisingly over the Turbo .......

Welcome to the forum,

I met you at Waalwijk Autojumble last time, i was there with my 827 Vitesse and my father with his MK2 827.
Very smart to go on this forum, there is a lot of knowledge here.

Keep them rolling!
