I will try plugging the pipe and thank you for the picture as it explains a lot. Also I will get some injector cleaner. Do you think the bio fuel was the problem then. Luckily I have not put more than 2 full tanks in.

Smoking Exhaust

I have a Rover 429sli(D). 1996. Had it about 3 weeks. Found Bio Fuel (man says 50 per cent diesel and 50 per cent Bio is the mix).

Adjust Window

I had to take the door trim off. Be very careful with the interior door handle as I broke the plastic clip that keeps the bar that moves the door lever in place on the door handle. I cannot get new ones except from Brindley, off the Penn Road in Wolverhampton. Lower the window down and you can see t...

Cam Belts

As I have only just had the rover 420sli(d) I do not know if the Cam Belts have been renewed. The car has done 93.000 miles so anyone give me advice please. :)

400 Driver's Window Update

Thanks for reply. The problem is the quide at the end of the door part that has the door lock I think. The window seems to open level and is firmly fixed into the bottom. Just will not seat itself properly.
