Rover Diesel

Update The bulbs I mentioned that are the best I have found so far are called ULTRA power bulbs 5000k they are e marked but don't say the wattage, I assume they are 55w. They are cheap too £7.99 a pair off ebay. When these are switched off they give the headlight a blue look which I like. The bulbs ...

Thanks ETV, I went for the metal faced seals, very easy to swap, just prise out, push in. I thought I would mention that the part number for the kit mentioned above is probably not the right kit to replace the diff seals on the PG1 Diesel box, I bought it for the input shaft (gear selector) bar seal...

After fitting a new N/S drive shaft the oils seal is leaking quite badly, it is possible I damaged it while fitting the drive shaft or is it possible that the shaft may not be all the way into the gearbox, would this cause it to leak? Anyway I have the kit TRT 100050 which was the rubber oil seals i...

Update for any one who's been following this post. This clutch has probably done about 3k now and it still judders in 1st and reverse, which is probably normal for this clutch. you can slip the clutch to reduce this but I don't like doing that, its not that a big issue for me, just letting you know ...

Hope u had a good holiday :) Garage talking about using a nut splitter to remove manifold downpipe nuts as they worried about snapping the studs, I have tried to undo them normally but they are tight and corroded, I remember you said before somewhere that these arnt usually that bad but any tips on ...

ok I read on another forum that this is pretty much a waist of time and money & that's its not a good idea to wrap the manifold or turbo on these cars anyway so im not going to bother

Also I see that exhaust wrap on ebay is about £1 per meter, is this cheap and poor quality? I remember it was about £50 last time I bought it but that was years ago.
would I have to try to wrap the exhaust manifold and turbo as well? I don't think the manifold would be easy to do though.

Just bought a new std downpipe off ebay for about £40 delivered. the quotes I had to supply and fit where from £85 to £185! and I have ordered the dark ice cat back free flow exhaust, I also have the decat pipe fitted, im wondering since the exhaust is yet to be fitted is it worth wrapping the downp...

Right it have fixed this now, the switch is very sensitive in that a slight push on the protruding bit activates the lights, the new switches I bought didn't come with a washer and the washer I was using was a plastic one that was on the original switch that I took off, so who knows where that came ...

I fitted a new gearbox & its working fine apart from the reversing lights where not working, bought a new switch but now they work in every gear & nutural and flickered on and off as I went through the gears, bought another switch, same problem, reversed the connections, still the same, rang...
