Also worth removing the airbag from the steering wheel (two torx bolts). The connector at rear had dropped out on mine causing SRS light to remain illuminated. Regards, Steve

I took mine off temporarily and submitted for an MOT. It passed with an advisory for 'Rear Propshaft Missing'. Regards, Steve

Or you can make your own from an old bank / AA / Tesco card. I'm guessing you have the satnav stereo?? With two rectangular slots to each lower corner?? If so - cut the cards into two thin wedges say 5mm at one end going to 15mm at the other. Insert the smallest end into each...

I had a similar dilemma... I was running 225/55/17s and wanted to keep buying the Michelin Synchrones as they lasted very well (circa 40K) and grip well etc. At £130+ each, they were very expensive, so when the two fronts got to 3mm I sold them on (£350!!) and have bought a set of 15" alloys...

Your problem is the window regulator. When it gets too tough to move, the motor simply shorts and dims the courtesy light. My vehicle was doing exactly the same. I would remove the tailgate glass, then remove the regulator complete. You can then seperate the motor and test on the vehicle. With...

The navigation discs are made by Navteq - check your damaged disc. Many turn up on ebay, so might be worth a look. 2nd option: Buy a tomtom which will be easier to use and more up to date. Also portable between vehicles. 3rd option: Sell your Becker sat nav system (mine sold for over £137...

Yep - loads on eBay. I got a set of 4x 15" alloys for £42. They even had good tyres as well. My plan is to fit a set of 4 Colway A/T tyres that I bought new for £99 delivered - bargain!! Just make sure that you buy the correct alloys for your model year. 1997 - 2000 alloys do not fit 2001 -...

Have you tried it in first gear or reverse - only operates in these gears. Also could be a duff contact on the switch - on mine the wire had broken away from the terminal - a quick solder and all fixed for nowt!! Regards, Steve

To calibrate: Disconnect the negative terminal on the battery, then after 20 seconds or so reattach. The window should lower (assuming the regulator is good). You then enter vehicle and close using the switch beneath the radio. I think that your problem is the window regulator - it sounds...

None of the above will operate if the vehicle thinks the glass is open. You need to calibrate the rear window. If it wont move then its likely that your window regulator is stuck (as in my case see last post) Regards, Steve

I had exactly the same symptoms... I ended up removing the black plastic rear window surrounds and this allowed the tailgate to open. (with the glass in its highest position) I then took the rear window out and stripped and rebuilt the mechanism. I tested the motor before removing and this...

Strange you should say that - the floor of my garage is so cold (this time of year) that I have put old car mats down where I stand at my bench when tinkering whilst on the other hand the roofspace in the apex is like a sweatshop during the summer months... Hopefully mine will last until we...

Thanks for the reply. I have read many threads on this forum about this and understand how it works. - many are your posts!! My question was about the silicone - If I remove the VCU, then will it lock up solid whilst in storage?? It does not matter too much anyway as I am going to leave my...

I bought all three and upon inspection only the centre mount had perished. My advice would be to change the front (centre) one first and see if this solves the problem. If its a cluncking when pulling off then it is the front mount. When really worn it allows the diff flange to move and touch...

I wonder what causes them to sieze on the car?? My vehicle is used daily and the OE VCU works fine so I was guessing due to lack of use?? If I new it would be ok, then I would remove for half the year (as I have done prevously) although i do worry about insurance issues should the unexpected...

Most cases like this it is the solenoid. On my vehicle the drivers door would lock, but not unlock. A new solenoid sorted the problem. My rear passenger door stopped opening and this was solved by removing the inbdicator. (although I often have to press the plip a few times to encourage it)...

Exactly as the user before stated... I have tried, but have reverted back to 4 wheel drive. Fuel ecomony and acceleration were better. Traction control does appear more, but only when pulling off from a junction on a hill in wet weather... I would keep mine in Mondo for 6 months a year...

I have run my vehicle on 17's for nearly a year. I dont know the tyres you have, but as long as they are 'e' marked then they are suitable for use on our roads. Off road might be questionable as many brands in that size are manufactured in a 95% on road pattern. Having said that with TC, 4...

I managed to change mine without unding the subframe.... I undid the bolts that hold the rear diff to all three mountings and then shuffled the diff out of the way whilst I removed the front mount. Took about half an hour at most. As regards the vehicle jack - do not use this!! Use a...

More info here: Rover 800 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia It should be noted that the 2.5 L Honda V6 is a completely different engine from the Rover KV6 Engine introduced in 1996, although the two share the same nominal 2.5 L capacity and a V6 architecture. But the question remains -...
