But what is the situation with spare parts Millwall?

I have heard there are some problems with that, and thus prices of Rovers and all it's derivatives have all slumped :'(

far from it lizzie parts are easy to get from any motor factors and plenty of specialist websites like rimmer bros  the price of rovers dropped when they shut but they have gone back up  partially i think to people realising that parts are stil being made and readily available :y

I had a couple of (diesel) 400's that shape. Both very good cars.

That 1.8, you have to scream the nads off it to get the best from it.

A surprisingly good cruiser - and the HGs aren't as big an issue as everyone says BUT YOU MUST ENSURE COOLANT NEVER RUNS LOW!


Lizzie - Rover parts are well catered for, although some genuine parts are a bit pricey.  Pattern market has most things covered. Never struggled to get parts for our Rover 25, although plastic mouldings usually mean going 2nd hand or egay.

Although the biggest Rover forum isn't a huge amount of use unless you are welding baked bean tins on the exhaust, fitted an unsuitable body kit or fitting a mega-super-chav bongo machine stereo...
