it lives!!! ![](http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm216/bognorbimmer/IMG00350-20110307-1756.jpg) muahahah! i had them check for any more obvious 'repairs' before more fell off, seems ok though! so as a reward i treated myself to some of these... ![](http://www.nicedeals.co.uk/images/10160L.gif) they are only rover parts but i much prefer them to the red/amber/white design, will get pics once fitted, and come more detail pics, keep finding little original dealer options on my car, simple stuff like rubber mats but also a rover fire extinguisher and things like that ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) oh and look what i saw today! excuse the rubbish angle/distance i was in the work van and i spotted it too late haha! ![](http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm216/bognorbimmer/IMG00351-20110309-1508.jpg) mike ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

Hey, this a real cracker, you must have one of the best remainaing examples there. Also you've got the M engine rather than the T, quite rare I think.

thankyou! yeah I'm a bit concerned about getting spares for this engine if it goes wrong, apprently the rover 800's used them though so may be some around! if not, I'm sure a turbo lump would slot in!

Spares you should be ok for. HGs can go, but updated items seem to cure this (Klinger gaskets: I am fairly sure they share alot with the T Series). A great car indeed. A friend of mine is breaking a 218 VVC Coupe if you want a full leather interior for it ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) .

Come up really nicely, and you're right, those new rear lights look heaps better ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) Now you just need a set of TSW Evo's and it'll be perfect ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

Those Jag XJ220's use Rover 214-220 tail lights - you should have chatted the bloke up to see if he wanted to buy your old lights! TOP TIP

thanks for the advice and links guys! hmm might put the old lamps on ebay then, genuine xj220 spares hehe! shame really how many nice british cars had travellered rear lights and that, think most tvrs had cavalier lights at the rear, and theres was something possibly aston-y with sierra units? arg i dunno its too late in the day luckygti you mean these? ![](http://forums.g2ic.com/images00/www.marcantcenter.com.br/produtos/ampliadas/tsw_evo.jpg) those would rule with red centre caps! think I'm just going for a refurb and some quality rubber though!

ok so its a bit 'new' looking but its an easily reversable, cheap and quick mod and if nothing else I'm a sucker for some induction roar! i don't pretend it gives you 3000bhp or anything, I'm just an old chav ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) ![](http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm216/bognorbimmer/IMG00374-20110317-1723.jpg) ![](http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm216/bognorbimmer/IMG00375-20110317-1723.jpg) baaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRP!

I don't know what I would do if it wasnt for cable-ties! had a problem with a small clip which is a kinda combo bracket which hold the throttle cable to the airflow meter, and idle speed adjuster (as the cable is threaded as is this clip so you can screw/unscrew it, it has snapped, and sometimes will just fall off leaving me with a slack throttle which needs 100% pedal travel for maybe 10% throttle! quite dangerous, anyway, fixed it about a week back with the power of cable ties! ![](http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm216/bognorbimmer/IMG00017-20110326-1405.jpg) ![](http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm216/bognorbimmer/IMG00018-20110326-1406.jpg) seems to be holding fine! also after selling a few bits on here and ebay ive ordered 2 new front wishbones inc. all bushes and joints, and 2 new rear trailing arm bushes! there's quite a bit of wear in mine and it feels a bit loose! hoping to leave the car with my mate while I'm on holiday to get those fitted and the towbar removed, then its on to refurbing those wheels!

to sum up rover ownership so far... what a pile of old dog cock! heres the latest... ![](http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm216/bognorbimmer/IMG00037-20110328-1223.jpg) soooo i stop in a queue of traffic, caused by a fatal accident, at this point there are no police/tapey bits/AA vans...as i do my 3 point turn and get baodside across the road, the car conks out! at this point, i have a trail of fire engines and ambulances that now cant get by! so red faced and peed off (i was on the way to sort my grandads funeral as it was) i push my car to the side of the road, to find my alarm siren bracket hd snapped causing the box thing to fall off, land on the driveshaft splitting my cv boot and then rip out and mash all the immobiliser wiring, rendering the car useless! anyway the road was closed, helicopters and everything, luckily they let the AA through to get me! got it recovered to a friends, stripped everything down, eventually rewired, re-bracketed and sorted! what a mess! ![](http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm216/bognorbimmer/IMG00038-20110329-1847.jpg) ![](http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm216/bognorbimmer/IMG00039-20110329-1847.jpg) the ripped up plug bit! ![](http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm216/bognorbimmer/IMG00040-20110329-1847.jpg) the smashed up alarm box, and massive screwdriver handle in shot sorry! good news though, some stickers arrived, no retro rides ones yet tho ![:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/sad.png) ![](http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm216/bognorbimmer/IMG00041-20110329-2149.jpg) stay tuned for more drama!!!
