Title: Phew
Post by: Elite Pete on 03 April 2008, 12:08:02
The 2005 Rover 25 ive been repairing is in for its MOT today so I took it around the block to clean the discs up and the bloody ABS light came on >:(

Got it back on the drive and cleaned the pick ups and rings still no good (Bo11ocks) so went to the ex Rover dealers and asked if they could put it on their diagnostic machine before 1pm and how much, £60 so thought sod that i'll give them another clean. The lights gone out, just hope it stays out ;)

Does that mean you're selling both motors? Going pedal power or something?!

Everytime I see your pic of your estate it makes me smile, my  saloon is S251YWP! it's like their cousins or something :)

yep there is, over the last 9 years i owned a total of 7 rovers, these were either sterlings or vitesses i had total trouble free motoring with all of them, not once letting me down. the only one i didnt get on with was the 620 tdi which basically fell apart around me they all had luxury spec and were a joy to own and drive. i was on the verge of buying the rover 75 when my miggy came along so, here i am i dont regret any of my rover years and will allways have a soft spot for them [smiley=thumbup.gif]

blimey. so a '94 214 is probably not worth re-MOTing then either!!

Mine have always had a V6 or V8 Lovely Cars, and if the SD1 and the 800 series had an estate may have been a different story. imho  :D :D :D

K series ain't that bad. Until the HG fails ::)

The K series we have has served us well, and the HG has been the only big repair - everything else done on it apart from fuel pump (under warranty) has just been service items.  Can't really complain - had it from new 8yrs ago.  Still better than any Astra I've driven, G or H
