I have a s/h working alternator from a Rover 75 CDTi classic saloon (low spec but that worked well) but not sure if this alternator is good enough to fit on my present CDTi because I am not sure if the slip rings are too worn or discoloured? From searching the web the copper slip rings should not be discoloured. If so there is no point in me changing the regulator which includes new brushes? ...

Please see the two photos. I wasn't happy with charging meter readings and then the battery light came on during a long trip with a meter reading at the battery of 11.99 volts with the engine running.

I now have the alternator loose in the engine bay resting on top of a loose air con compressor. And so I managed to unplug the wiring harness and found as the two photos.

The wiring harness to ...

Hi all, I've been trying to remove the offside rear upper suspension arm on my 2005 conniesseur for AGES, in order to replace - beyond my capacity to drop the whole subframe so just trying to remove it separately. Managed to detach at hub side but the inner bolt is hard to access. Managed to get a 15mil ring spanner on but it just spins endlessly without releasing, seemingly.
Has anyone else here had a ...

Searching for various I came across another Rover 75 forum where a post describes it as not very active suggesting to new users to post on another Rover forum, ..... but they have recent some posts selling some Rover 75s from older drivers.

Artic thinks Duncan is the man in the know for this.

I have an early Facelift Tourer and a late Facelift tourer.
It could be T4 programming.

Late Tourer, 1 short click, only drivers door unlocks, second click, all doors and tail gate unlock. 1 long click and drivers door and tail gate unlock.

A friend of mine is selling some parts, including a new autochanger (the transport screws are still fitted) I said I'd let people know. Link is to the autochanger, but 'see sellers other items' for others like a light switch module, IPK, cam sensors, and HVAC control panel.

Hello all - I find myself in need of some advice please.

I need to change the oil filter housing on my KV6 due to a crack where one of the oil pipes connects. The engine is out and I have a spare engine i bought for spares.

My problem at the moment is how do you pull the crankshaft sprocket off, is there a special or preferred tool? Space is tight behind the sprocket ...

My battery light came on and stayed on and so I will take my alternator off. With little room I am looking carefully at each bolt first. I will take off the steering pump and nearby top engine mount. But what about the rear bottom engine mount? Does that help stabilise when the top mount is taken off and the engine is jacked up high on the drives side? Or is it easier with the ...

Hi. Trying to upload an image, via PM, and as I couldn't on a post.

I know there are size and format limitations, so maybe its that. But every time I try I get 'the file is invalid'. ISTR when I got that warning before, there was a link to tell me what the restrictions were, but can't find that anywhere. I've tried JPG and PNG. File sizes are 3-4 MB. What am I doing ...
