Just got my Haynes for.......

sounds like a mission STMO that one... although as TB says it seams just time consuming... think you need help really as its not a one-man job.

Any problem getting hold of the parts for these? I imagine a fair few compays who supplied Rover/MG have gone under...

On the contrary, people are now forced to use non-franchised garages, who will use pattern parts, so this will have helped many...

The companies who supplied Rover will still be supplying Landrover and BMW, so it probably only affected a handful of companies...

Yup, that would be the trash TV brigade, who spent so longer Rover bashing, then are up in arms when they go tits up.

Mind you, it only needs doing every 90,000. In other words, just the ONCE

And my service book said Megga's at 80K LOL

One of my team has a City River   that got bashed and has been waiting 3m for Rover dealer to have front wing shipped over from India.  They don't help with their own PR.

Mercifully, the ZT doesn't use the same platform as a Mumbai minibus

There are a couple of **ity Rovers around Worcester and they are tacky as anything.

I think it aided Rovers downfall!

Its actualy a poor chassis (25) but, we wont go into that right now....

Full aircon re-gas then if the compressor has to come off.

I have to say that I would never leave a car for 90K miles before changing a rubber belt....

Actually, I embellished it a little bit

Oil cooler, compressor and power steering pump unbolted but hoses left connected.


So...when yer gonna do it Mark?

Good, coz its a reasonable chassis in its original form (softened up later) for a small family car (ie Focus size).  Easily out handles a Focus (outperforms it as well (1.6))....
