[AMC Rebel]

Looks nice that, does your back window open? great for getting long ass things from the builders merchent! 

 

Yes the back windows open - al la contemporary 3 series touring.

 

Wiper fitting suspiciously similar

Best T4 guy in the area is a guy called Andy. He was at Barton for ages but I think he's near Doncaster now. Hours forum name on the 75 club is Trikey. He's a top bloke & can sort any 75 out.

You need to search local specialist that has the T4 kit and knowledge

 

try

 

MAPLE GARAGE (SPROATLEY) LTD Aldbrough Road Flinton Hull East Yorkshire HU11 4NA 01964 670392

 

and

 

 

I don't know either of them personally though

I know Trikey personally - very very highly recommend.

I might do that, I imagine it'll go to something like 150bhp, it's at 131 at the moment. No idea how much it'll cost.

Goes to 160 well worth doing, it will really wake it up.

Hi fellas, not ignoring you I'm in Wales on a little break away, not in 75 though unfortunately. Will update when back home!!!

[cpjitservices]

Still in Wales, the wife's Picasso actually impressing me with its handling of the Welch valleys.

250 miles today in the new red Rover, From Hull to Darlington to Newton Aycliffe back to Darlington then back to Hull nothing major to report. A strange thing happened, I was turning in the road and reversed down a slight slope. Engine cut out and the fault that displayed was Low Oil Pressure. I restarted the car and all was well in the world, that message didn't come back, and it ran fine. Checked oil level and that was fine so probs just one of those things.

 

A few little annoyances, like for some reason the driver's seat changes position all by itself when I get in the car, so I have to press the number 1 to get it to my saved setting, I definitely need to sort out the Stereo,the sound is garbage and the screen is broken on the Nav, that'll be on my to-do list. I also seem to have an engine cover missing, the washer bottle lid, and maybe part of the air intake is missing too. There is wheel wobble at about 50-500 which is cured by more throttle to 70 no more wheel wobble, I presume the wheels need re-balancing and correct pressure putting in the tyres.

 

 

 

Overall its a good car with a few niggles, which I'll sort. 

[cpjitservices]

Oh yeah, I need a surround for the driver's side door handle too which Im sure one of you guys said you had ???

[Split_Pin]

The seat thing is because you have pressed the open door button on your fob for too long. Key 1 is synced with Memory position 1 and Key 2 with Memory position 2. Ace feature. Holding down the button will return it to the relevant setting in relation to the key.

 

The oil pressure light is a bit iffy in general I think. Mine takes a couple of seconds to go out after starting first time but it never comes back on again and the engine runs fine.

[cpjitservices]

AHhhhhh thanks for the info, I forgot to add that when the error appeared about my low pressure that the engine actually stalled whilst in reverse?

 

I deduct from the above then that my key is key 2, the other key I have needs a new casing.

 

I am looking at this purely because I think it would look better rather than faffing with facias etc...

[Roverageous]

They're designed to cut out if they think you've got low oil pressure. I had one with nearly 300k on & it occasionally did this, oil light also took 5 seconds to go out on a cold start but when my mechanic tested the oil pressure from a cold start it was coming up immediately. Consensus was a dodgy sensor.

 

I never did anything about it and it still ran sweetly when I traded it in.

^^Handy to know from my perspective as well

I'm sure i do, let me check the 75 pile and come back to you.

Thanks, mate, I've just spent £3 on ebay for a new case for one of the keys as the buttons no longer exist! SO that's a start - next is trying to find a new radio... I was thinking double DIN but the Nav unit looks bigger than that.

[cpjitservices]

Found my Pioneer radio, usb type one so that'll be good, have ordered a facial off eBay. Soon be tunes a plenty!!!?

Quick question... I have noticed my headlights stay on for maybe a minute after I've turned them off and locked the car up. Does anyone elses do that? I had this feature on the Jag didn't expect it on the Rover.

[Aston Martin]

Follow-me-home headlights on a Rover?

I know, I don't know. They stay on for approximately a minute then go off. Nothing in any of the switches to set a time like on the Jag with Auto lights. So no idea. Not sure if anyone elses does it.

[cpjitservices]

Just looked in the internet, yes, the lights are supposed to do that if you switch engine off rust without turning lights off... Turn them off and they will stay on for 30 seconds.

The answer was in the Owner's Manual, link posted on Page 10 of this very thread

 

Page 114, 'Lights & Indicators'

 

Oh why do I bother, etc

Lol, I haven't had chance to read the entire manual... Yet.

[Roverageous]

Yes, lamps will stay on for 30 seconds if you turn them off after the engine. Dad's 800 and Montego used to do the same.

Yes, mine do to.

[cpjitservices]

Had a bit of wheel wobble on motorway the other night, quite bad at 50-55 - popped car into tyre place and have had wheels Rebalanced. Will see if that's cured the problem later on - only cost a tenner!!

 

Facia for radio dispatched this morning as well as new shell for key. It's always exciting getting these things!

[Split_Pin]

My solution is usually not to drive between those speeds, fixed!

[cpjitservices]

Has anyone got a washer bottle lid/cap they could send me?

 

Thanks Muchly.

[cpjitservices]

I looked up some info about my car:

 

 

[oldcars]

Here you go. Couple of the clip tabs are broken, but a bit of trim tape on it will hold it in. One of mine has been like this for 20k. Let me know if you want it and i can post it out.
