Re: Rover 216iL

Thanks - I intend to do all the mechanical stuff myself and actually enjoy doing Rover K series head gaskets! The welding I was going to get booked in at a local body shop. I’ll check out the sill panels as that will save them time and money over fabricating them. One done I’ll flood with Bilt Hambe...

Rover 216iL

Hi guys - I picked up a new project last night. It had been on eBay with no bids a few times recently and as it was local to me I went and had a look at it and made a very cheeky offer which was accepted! The car needs work - new rear sills in both sides and sim work to an arch. I also intend to cha...

I wondered about HGF using blue? I think a full flush then red is the way to go - many thanks for your help!

Re: Would these fit a 5 door 214?

Bid and won (for £1.95 plus P & P) a pair of wind deflectors for the Rover 214. They came today and the seller seems to have sent me a pair of genuine Rover rear wind deflectors for the 214 not front ones :glare Not bothered really tho as I bet these are probably rarer! :clapping Now just need a...

Re: Slow Windows!

Not had chance to try yet mate - been offered some replacement motors but want to try and find a new door card for the drivers side first - I think the old card has been slightly bashed causing it to rub against the window a bit!
