Thanks for the information Hugh. Looks like the GCV1064 RH and GCV1063 LH are for later models with ABS. So its likely to be the top two numbers. Currently there’s nothing wrong with the shafts, famous last words :laughing2 But I like to know and keep a record of the parts number related to the car ...

Can anyone tell me if the driveshafts for a 1991 416 are the same for Automatics and manuals or are they different lengths. If they are different does anyone know the part numbers for both the near side and off sidey.

Oh dear, I've done it again! :blushing Every time I take things apart, I never take enough photos to facilitate a quick and easy reassemble! Ha you’re not alone. I have the same issue when I take anything apart. I now have a pile of plastic pots that I have to label with each bolt/nut/screw I take ...

Well I brought some Autoglym Exterior Trim Restorer Kit 30ml and coated the bumper strip . Really pleased with the end result when compared to the original photo

Well the pencil eraser trick worked for me
Removed most of the white marks left from not being careful enough with the polish. Needs further treatment to sharpen it up a little bit more but pleased with the result

According to an internet search, you can do it using a Pencil Eraser. There's a YouTube video showing it seems to work, some positive comments agreeing on its efficacy but one-or-two saying it didn't work for them. Haven't tried it myself but I will. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUyjrubOCOA That...

Thanks for all the recommendations.
Will have a look through all the products suggested and perhaps trial one or two.
I'll even try doing half the trim so I can photo before and after treatment .
Thanks again

Anybody got any tips on how to clean or blacken the rubber strips on my bumpers. I think they are discoloured with polish. Tried using Auto Glyn Vinyl and Rubber care spray but it doesn't really get rid of the white marks.
Anyone found a successful solution?

I’m attending this show with my local club, Torbay Old Wheels Club (TOWC). Not sure which of the 2 days I will be there but will post that nearer the time. I believe another member with a red 216 coupe will be there. I know it clashes with the event at Gaydon but please say hello if you are attendin...

Good day at Darts farm yesterday with a good selection of Rovers including 2 x 416’s , 1 x 216 coupe and a 416 HHR.
I was also the jam in a Rover sandwich with a Rover P4 and a Rover Vitessse SD1,
