RJ eventually sold his old BMW on Thursday evening

, after putting €90 petrol into it on Thursday morning :rolleyes:
But RJ was then back in his Rover

So RJ transferred his insurance, taxed his Rover for the next 3 months, booked an NCT, put €50 petrol in it, polished and waxed it and fixed a little exhaust leak ...................... and then the gearbox went in the fecking thing yesterday evening, RJ was quite sad

But saw the funny side of it (ish) :pac:

Yep - 100% serious, thank feck I didn't clay bar it before polishing it, was going to but didn't bother. Is it your ZS that you mention above ?

All going to plan I'm collecting something nice tomorrow.

Ah no, the ZS is perfect, couldn't be going better. It's for sale for 5k but I think i'm going to have to drop to 4.5k. Sickener.

It was the R400. My previous car. Now its parked up

No shortage of them, were in all 1.4 and 1.6 petrol Rovers up until they started using a Ford box after BMW sold Rover, BMW kept the gearbox factory and were charging Rover looney money for them, a reconned one with new bearings would be a few hundred though. Don't think I'll bother, with a fresh NCT I'd have struggled to get €800 ish for her I reckon.

Webmonkey · 15-08-2010 08:29PM

I'd be surprized too.

However, I got a gearbox for 60/70 euro in scrap yard. Was grand until my brother made **** of it

Wouldn't tackle a gearbox to be honest.
The story potentially has a happy ending though.

Webmonkey · 15-08-2010 08:39PM

Fixing the gearbox internally? - that be a fun job I'd say!

No

The happy ending I was referring to is.........

The ZTs have their own pitfalls, VIS motors, hugely expensive timing belt replacement costs to mention but two, fingers crossed she doesn't break my heart.

(€1000 a year to tax the fecker too)

Ah yeah the KV6, nothing but VIS issues over on mg-rover.org about that ha. But it's not that big a job?

Yes the timing belt seems a huge job but i guess if do yourself be okay but you need special tools for it yeah.

Ah go for it! The purr of the engine will be worth it

corkcomp · 15-08-2010 08:48PM

even better:D ive grown to life auto recently.. on the look out for a replacement main car now and not sure about auto though.. decisions decisions

15-08-2010 09:31PM

I always had auto phobia too, but had a Prelude for a few months in 2009 that was auto, changed my view of them, they are lovely really in a big cc car. One of the friends has a 1.4 auto Astra that is a pity of a thing.

corkcomp · 15-08-2010 09:49PM

lol. yes the Astra's, we had several. a pig of a car even with a manual gearbox, especially the pre 2004 ones

nursemar88 · 15-08-2010 09:51PM
