scaryoldcortina Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 I was talking today to one of the lads that works at the scrapyard about the value (or lack therof) of cars, he mentioned his parent's Rover 75 Conneseur. Basically it's been an "all costs" car - recent invoices for over £1000 for head gaskets and all belts for example. Good tyres, cream leather. Test is sometime in July. This is the only pic I've got, I haven't seen the car. I can investigate further if needed and would even go as far as buying it just to raffle if there is enough interest before I part with cash and space for the damn thing.

MarvinsMom Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 poor old thing... i do love a 75, ok maybe not enough to go and buy another one (no room, no money, all the other excuses...) but a roffle, now there is an idea. i'd be in for that. eddyramrod 1
taxi paul Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 One for Purplebargeken I think. Cream leather😊. Just bought a cream leather interior for mine. If its had gaskets done is I not a 1.8?
scaryoldcortina Posted February 9, 2016 Author Posted February 9, 2016 No, it's a V6. I think the gaskets might have been done because a belt let go.

scaryoldcortina Posted February 9, 2016 Author Posted February 9, 2016 Hmm. I suppose it can't hurt to do this.. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 They want £200 - I reckon at £4 a shot that pays them and I make something for buying it and storing it. I shall get more details and a look at the car tomorrow, if there is enough raffle interest by the weekend I'll buy it. Car is in Stanley (Durhamshire).
MarvinsMom Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 ah even better, its not that far from homeworld. nine times out of ten, these cars are either in outer mongolia, or as far south as it is possible to go, like cornwall..... eddyramrod 1

phil_lihp Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 This is at the other end of the country from me and I don't particularly like 75s. I have absolutely no need for it at all. I'll take number 2 please.

Often mis-diagnosed, I have seen a few cases where the local friendly garage or Mr AA/RAC see a 75 overheating and decide its HGF before they even climb out their cab. The 1.8 is notorious for HGF but the KV6 fails no more or less than most other cars on the road. A chap on the 75 forum was told his KV6 would cost somewhere in the region of £2k to fix after overheating, lucky he seeked a 2nd opinion because it just had a faulty coolant cap, about £15 to replace. Car is still going well AFAIK. On 09/02/2016 at 21:11, overrun said: Looks like it's been on fire! It does doesn't it, especially for a no expense spared car. It has black headlights? Barry Cade 1

I'll go look. if it's a total heap we'll call it off but until then...
