Rover Diesel

After speaking to a few people they recommend changing both the clutch slave and master cylinders which also meens i wont need to separate the hose but would still be interested to hear how to do it. The master cylinder looked as if it was starting to leak a little so im pretty sure this will cure i...

oops that was a bit embarrasing, friend said call AA which i did he cranked it longer than i did as i was worried about doing damage and it started eventually now seems fine, just need to source a reasonably priced master and slave cluch cylinders and find the tool (part number Rover 18G 1593) to se...

right just checked and the braket and plastic cap are fine. but now i have a bigger problem, when i started the car after refitting the engine and gearbox it fired up first time & ran smoohtly no trouble. then i put it in gear and pulled forward and put my foot on the clutch to stop the car but ...

Right just finished refitting the engine and gearbox, I decided on a Quaif LSD which apparently is the same as the one in the focus ST, I chose a 6 paddle clutch from Dark Ice Designs, which is the CG motorsport one, interestingly the pedal is very light, seems lighter than I remember the original c...

I know there was much debate about uprated clutches on the other Rover Forums & now I see Dark Ice Designs are promoting their 3 performance clutches, although they have not replied to my question about how much tourque they can handle, i was thinking of taking their advice & going for their...

Just removed the clutch, it all looks dry, the flywheel looks as good as new, dry, not slippery with no scoring. im wondering if the clutch slipping could have been due to the clutch arm all along? i.e not letting it fully engage? in past postes we talked about weather I had lubricated the spline, w...

ah yes i see how it works now, i was confused by the ring that sticks out, mind you it looks like it broke off or the garage broke it off to press in the new ball joint, i heard back from the guy rebuilding the gearbox, seems the clutch arm was stiff which was making the clutch pedal stick on the fl...

I have read about the poly bushes for the R75 and agree the results are not good, if you look at the photos i took of the R45 diesel tie bar/engine mount you can see its not a solid bush (it reminds me of a star wars tie fighter) i think this shape is to allow for the absorbtion that solid and harde...

Thanks ETV, Im scared to try the down pipe bolts at the turbo as they look really rusty and would be just my luck they would snap off, as you may remember my car is popping out of reverse, you mentioned that this coud be due to wear in the dog bone engine mount on the bottom of the engine, i checked...

Thanks ETV. i decided to remove it from the car as it was in a bad way, its nearly ready to come out, im taking the geabox and engine out together as it seems easier to get the gearbox back on when they are both off the car, i have done it before but i cant remember what we did with the exhaust, i t...
