For Sale Brown Bread Rover 214 SLI - Update: a "miraculous" resurrection!

[doubleyeller]

 Pulling onto the M62, this happened: 

 

SIIIIZZZZZLLLLEEEE!!      (HGF)  - load of silt in the (empty) coolant bottle, 

 

 

It's now dead and will not be mourned. 

 

Anybody need any parts? Hoping to get a few quid together towards the new shite, don't expect much from the bridge!

 

Anybody got anything pre - 1995 (for classic insurance purposes) they want to sell? Looks like the 20 won't be on the road any time soon  

 

Cheers

Driver's seat and driver's side door lock solenoids are of interest to me as are all the exterior door handles if they're not suffering from lacquer peel.

Drivers door handle is broken, other 3 ok. Laquer peel? Not sure tbh, but will check when light!  Lock on drivers door still working ok, central locking working fine - presume solenoid therefore is ok! Drivers seat all good - I'm in Bradford area. PM me if you want to come over

Do these make good banger racers? I'd imagine they'd fold up pretty quickly.

[Partridge]

I'm sure any car makes a great banger racer if you're brave enough.

Thanks for the interest folks - I found a coolant line half hanging off the radiator and secured it with a new jubilee clip. After a new lot of coolant, it has held it's own at 70mph for 80 miles on the A1 - no overheating, engine running fine! Therefore presume HGF diagnosis was incorrect!

 

Going to resist the urge to break it for now - there aren't many about these days after all!

As Mike and I were leaving Wetherby services in the Corsa we saw doubleyeller charging in with the 214.  Looked perfectly fine from where we were sat.  I'd have a picture to prove but I was too slow on the draw.  Amazing coincidence.

Andi18 how much is your Rover. Had a 3 door model some years ago and regret selling it, especially as the gimp I sold it too managed to kill it within a week.

[andy18s]

I'm asking a bargain £300 for it as it has a couple of niggles to sort (or not,depends on your point of view)

Drivers arm rest has damage

 

 

And the headlining is drooping in the back slightly.bit of spray glue should sort it but I don't have any to hand......
