I can't budget extra, that's why i'm looking for a decent one, without much work needing doing really, which is why i wanted to ask you guys what you thought about the value the guy has put on that one he's trying to sell me. Do we think that the 50th anniversary 1999 is worth more than a...

Aww thanks guys, it totally has to be the rover diesel engine for me, so much more reliable i think, plus i quite like the overall look of it, its much prettier than the more modern ones, i like to tinker with my cars, no fancy electric for me :-) I'll update my thread if i do find one, as i...

Hey all, long time no see.. I sold my hippo last year and miss it to **** (post derog comments below :D) So.. i'm after another, but it must be the old rover engine 2.0 diesel and either cayman blue or possibly black, may consider others to be fair. plus all the usual stuff like low mileage...

Hello again all.... I'v found this thread n bringing it back from the dead!!!! This exact same thing has happened to me very recently and i'v had it put back together with a bit of sealant and a re-tightened u-clamp and it came back apart the next day!! i'v been hammering it back in every...

gaylander pride :D

well... i got it from pride in Birmingham :D Its the right car for me really aint it hahaha

its already got a rainbow coloured family sign in the back :p

hahaha funny thing is... there ARE loads at the breakers, there's an equicar 4x4 up the road from me and they get a couple in every week!!! even i knew to stay away from the 1.8 petrol :D trouble is... they dont always have the grey trimmed one's in!! i got the full aryldite with hardener...

Standard mate :D i'll train u in body piercing and u can train me in mechanics

Andy your on m path mate, i said this to my dad when he tried to take over and he said, noooooo it couldn't be that simple :doh: lol!! i'll get a brand new washer for it and see what happens!! thanks Andy :D Chaser i havent tried that one, i'll def attempt it with one of the switches before i...

Hiya Rimmer, yup i checked and they stay on perm, despite what gear or neutral, having to disconnect it. The switch that was in it when i bought it seems to have been re wired which is strange?? and it doesn't work anyway, but the new one's look fine??

:p funny!! But seriously... mine's a diesel and i'm a fairly useless female, these guys advised me to service mine and its made a hell of a difference, and i did it myself.. use landy parts and follow the haynes book, if i can do it so can you, bugger garage fee's ;)

hahahahaha thanks for answering Andy, really scratching my head with it!! nothing wrong with the pink side anyways :lvgay-love-101: hehe :p

haha thanks Andy, its the next best colour... ice blue :lvgay-love-100: i cant understand it, cant find a problem anywhere and i'v fitted 2 new switches which only leave the lights on perm, gonna let me father have a look on sat cos i swear i'm missing summit (which wouldn't be a first)! it...

will check it more thoroughly when i get chance but i cant see any problem with it so far, cheers Mark :D

lol true, but slower learning makes for a better memory of it all, and its useful in the meantime for hauling my diy bits n bobs :D Do me a favour please Andy? Will u look at my reverse light query please? i know i'm half thick with this stuff, but i need to know what to do nxt ...

new switches that is... doh!!!!!!!

Hey all... new problem!! Couldn't find my exact query in previous threads!! found out that my reverse lights didnt work, fitted 2 new one's since and both times i'v ended up with permanent rev-lights on. Is there something else i need to check before i bollock the supplier??

hahaha clever ****er :p Its diesel... its fine!!! plus if it does break down, atleast i'll have summink to practise on :D
