[MarvinsMom]

oh good,

 

i'd hate to see yet another rover 75 meet an early and undignified end.

 

i cannot wait to see it back on the road.

oh god, its not one for bub to drive?

[bub2006]

The plan is to go through this gearbox with a fine tooth comb to see if anything can be fixed. If not the box will be replaced and be used as a Daily driver. Its a 2.0 diesel auto connoisseur se and its lovely.

Lovely looking car. Mine was exactly the same colour.

A moonstone green tourer with diesel engine and auto.

 

On a run expect about 36-40mpg at most.

 

These early ones didn't have fog lights as the cooler is to big.

I had mine running alongside my 2.5v6 launch car and I'm afraid to say the diesel was left at home 9 times out of 10.

I just prefer a petrol v engine

 

Check the solo nods in the gearbox. If it's any of them it will be an easy fix.

Please keep us updated

[bub2006]

Will certainly keep you updated

[montytom]

Will certainly keep you updated

Thanks if you need any tips let me know ive owned 5 75s but only 1 diesel tourer auto.

 

Also check out the75andztclub.co.uk

[bub2006]

I'll pass info on to my mate. Thank you

[MarvinsMom]

its odd that this Rover doesn't have the fog lamps in the front, mine been a club SE has them and is also on a 51 plate (registered i think in October 2001)  i wonder then Rover changed the inter-cooler?

 

[bub2006]

This has almost everything bar front fogs

Garden walls in Buxton!

Other walls in other locations are available !

[bub2006]

Not by me hopefully!

[Eddie Honda]

make sure you save the tailgatge and glass if it ultimately gets fragged .. I'm told by good source the rear glass for tourer 75/Zt is no longer available :/

By all means save stuff, but I don't think it'll have much future value, even if it's NLA. There are shit-loads on used ones on Ebay. (Take all those DAF 66 "RARE" parts advertised on ebay. The parts may be rare, but they are worth fuck-all if the cars are even rarer.)

 

Anyway, glass is a cock to store.

Thanks colc for the nice car and you bub for the entertainment on route

[bub2006]

Yes dad, I just put a post in the new members post

[Rocket88]

Apparently, it's not the solenoids [oh that it were!] Local garage had a poke for me, and apparently someone has used the wrong transmission fluid, and wrecked the box.

Ref fog lights.................my Club 75 also has them.........

[montytom]

The fog light issue is because it's an early car. The later diesels had a different cooler.

If you look at the fog blank it will have vents in if I remember correctly.

I'm gonna be smacking ya arse and telling Santa if you don't behave sunshine

Thanks for input. I think Dave plans on putting it on the computer to see if anything comes up and see what's what.
