Ghosty Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Well, I'm throwing in the Rover towel.1991 Rover 416GTi.<copypasted description>87k, new headgasket and cambelt, new fuel relay, K&N panel filter, stainless header and 2.5" exhaust (no cat required), valve stem seals done, little rot (worst is pictured). Paint is poor (front end rattlecanned - you all know why), but presentable from a few feet.1991/J, runs well but currently misfires at low revs when up to temp (under investigation, if it takes a while to sell this may well get fixed). Runs well on the motorway but needs a slightly heavy foot around town else it struggles. Will get you home no problem, though.Recent front tyres - Vredestein.Good condition Prussian Blue velour interior (rare factory optional leather delete). 4x electric windows and leather steering wheel. Three of the four original Rover floor mats are present. Headlining is good.Wood heater control panel from a cabriolet, looks nice but has a lot of light bleeding through when lights are on. Can include original black panel.Two spare alloy wheels.MOT to August with very clean history.Not sure if it's worth more as a car or in parts, but offers are encouraged as I need it gone to get something else.</copypasted description>Er, yeah, you all know this car by now. Ideal WBOD? It's very good on the motorway, but might benefit from some Dynamat (other sound deadening is available).£300/£5 roffle. I can't get anyone interested in it at all except messers, and now it's just taking up space I don't have.

theorganist Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 I shall have two randoms please. I would have thought these are worth saving now as they must be getting rare. Is this quite a rare spec? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghosty Posted December 7, 2018 Author Share Posted December 7, 2018 I shall have two randoms please. I would have thought these are worth saving now as they must be getting rare. Is this quite a rare spec? Yes, the spec is rare. HML says 27 416GTis left, 13 manual and 14 auto.GTi was the launch 'sporty' model in 1990, and only lasted until the facelift around K/L plate. It gets a twincam head for its RELIABLE HONDA ENGINE, four electric windows, a sunroof, leather seats as standard (but this one has no cost option velour instead), a leather steering wheel, and alloys. That's your lot.Compared to a top spec Honda it's a bit pants really, but it's still a nice car. theorganist 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghosty Posted December 9, 2018 Author Share Posted December 9, 2018 Running issue has been tracked down to a duff throttle position sensor. This will hopefully be fixed soon. So let's have a bump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isaac Hunt Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 I had a faulty TPS on a R8 414. Made for proper Kangaroo Juice on pulling away. Different engine I knows but could have been same manufacturer of TPS. Were they made by the Prince Of Darkness, Mr George Lucas ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Snipes Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 I had an old copy of (I think) What Car and they rated a 416GTi over an E30 318iS. HillmanImp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
