I am hopefully attempting a return to the fold with a very low miles tourer. The only major thing I will need is a tow bar preferably detachable, and, is the chap that provided us with all the Walnut goodies decals etc., still here, doing something similar. Just have to load the car with all the toys including the door handle chrome protectors etc., etc.

Hi there,

The upper arms on my rear suspension rusted through on my ZT-T 190 so I dismantled everything and reassembled with new parts. Now the car rumbles and makes metallic noises when I drive...

Hello all,

So with the front of my R75 now fully overhauled I have made a start on the rear. Everything is off and I am most of the way through disassembly.

Before I remove/destroy the ageing rear subframe bushes does anybody have a part number or source where they can be obtained. I prefer to have them removed when the frame goes for blasting and powder coating.

I am looking for the 4 bushes ...

Does the crank pulley bolt need to be heated? If so how is this done if it is a good pulley that will be used as a spare?

A friend has used a Clarke CEW1100 3/4 drive corded impact wrench on the 22mm crank pulley bolt with the flywheel jammed by a tool at the flywheel. https://www.machinemart.co.uk/p/clarke- ... gICvvD_BwE

The crank was securely locked by the tool there was ...

I am seeking some clarity please regarding where the front exhaust manifold down pipe meets the front port on the catalytic converter.

The car in question is a Rover 75 1999 2.5 KV6..

The flange on the front exhaust manifold downpipe has 2 bolts and they are wider than the 2 bolts on the corresponding rear flange. I ordered 2 gaskets from DMGRS and they stated they are correct front and rear but the gasket ...

Hi,I'm looking for an enthusiast preferably mobile mechanic to help with a rear upper suspension arm on a 2005 rover 75 in the Hemel Hempstead area. I have got the replacement part and the rear end is already jacked up (stands clear of subframe) but it's just more than my capabilities allow even removing old one. Not been easy finding anyone to take on the job and really need to get it moving. If there's ...

I'm now in the process of re-assembling the rear subframe and arms into the car. One item that has bothered me for a while is 'how to torque' the fixing bolts to the subframe. These are supposed to be done when the car is supported by the wheels (have I got that wrong?)

While I have a deep socket, once the subframe is pulled up to the under body, it doesn’t look like there is ...
