Another year on the Rover
« on: 22 April 2011, 11:18:17 »
My MOTer managed to squeeze it in today, as I'd forgotten to book it in. Opps.

Always a nice feeling to get an MOT :), though the Rover always just seems to be hassle free. 11yrs, 110k, nothing more than standard servicing (in fact the rear brakes have never been checked, due to my incompitence with drums  :-[, must take drums off this summer and check wear!).  Not sure I've ever changed fuel filter, so thats 7yrs old :o (it came with 3yrs free dealer servicing).

Keep checking the shocks, they still damp well, despite 110k.

It just keeps going on and on, best car I've ever owned. Also the longest I've ever owned, and possibly the one we've done the most miles in as well now...

What engine do you have in the 25?

I personally love rovers. Had a fair few in different guises. Not had a 25, but i had a 400 bubble shape. basically the same thing.
The diesel was my favorite, but the k series 1.4, 1.6 and 1.8 engines have always been good to me too. Way ahead of their time on power to CC ratio.

i had 150k on a k series 1.4 no problems at all apart from an alternator, £10 down the scrappy lol.

You have to love the simplicity of a rover. The k series engine is quite easy to work on too. Out of curiosity is it still on the original hesdgasket?
