Title: Rover cambelt cover
Post by: TheBoy on 12 February 2007, 15:14:25
Anyone got a spare cambelt cover - the inner one that bolts to block.

JamesV6CDX and I damaged the one on my Rover 25, and before we do the cambelt, it makes sense to replace it.

Tried our local scrappy, 2 K series cars, only one with cover I managed to break whilst removing  >:(

Jaime - I'm sure it's the outer cover, not the inner one!

It was me that damaged it = VANDAL!

Although I'm sure it's the outer, not the inner?

Always lots of rovers in our scrappy, and I finish at 4 all days this week, if they are still open I'll go nab one

Just confirm for sure it's the inner cover? I'm sure it's the outer cover I let the light burn.....
