RoverFolkUs Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 I've just noticed it's a Connoisseur SE too! 😁 It's in bloody Leeds though. That's a 550 mile round trip which is a bit risky if I get there and it's a lemon. £1200 isn't much but it's strong money for a 75. MOT advisories for rear upper arms, which is a bit of a worry on them I need to talk myself out of it. Lucky it's not an estate otherwise I would have been all over it!

Aston Martin Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 First one to Bucharest wins. Just take £10k with you, grab the old Duster pickup, with a cab cover. Alan_Green, LT84, w00dy and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are lovely cars when they're working, but needy buggers when they aren't. Also they don't like being jet washed too enthusiastically. And suspension bolts seize up.

It was getting to the stage where too many parts were becoming unavailable without an extended wait so it was no longer sustainable to keep it as a daily driver in the long term I would be chopping a Ford Focus in for a Rover 75 and using it as a daily. Not the best of ideas really now I think of it. I could run two cars at once, but don't really need to at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We designed quite a complicated control system which lived in a watertight box under the bonnet. The system worked well except for one street in Paris where the cars would basically double declutch when crossing a junction. It was traced to some massive power cables running under the roadway which interfered with the car’s electromagnetic shielding 🤪 mercedade, OM646, horriblemercedes and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was responsible for introducing single piece flow in a nagare cell. The solenoid sat in Oil. Customer was AP. (Lockheed?) At one point we did a design for assembly exercise and potentially we found we could reduce the parts count by 50% and reduce The cost by 60%. Don't know how far that got because all the automotive stuff went to Lucas Electronics at Holford Drive in Perry Barr, and I went to Lucas Car Electrical in Burnley. grogee, Remspoor and OM646 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas Control Systems Products was part of the industrial division, not automotive and were experts in proportional solenoids, and positional rotary actuators. The Keighley site had the automotive stuff ripped from them by a click of a computer mouse, and the management bought out the rest and branded it back to NSF controls. (National Switch Factory?)
