Hi,

I'll be looking for advice / help on the following please (Rover 75 Tourer) ...

As mentioned already:
1. Intercooler 'o' rings
2. Front drop links
3. Rear washer not working - suspect something between pump and rear washer nozzle, due to fronts working fine?
4. Advice on rear shock absorbers

Something recently discovered - the boot retractable cover seems to have become stuck / lodged in place, even when retaining buttons pressed in

Thanks, James.

As mentioned already on club forum:
1. Intercooler 'o' rings

Fairly straightforward.

2. Front drop links

Can be awkward sometimes, i will bring some with me, with thread cut down, if you do not have any.

3. Rear washer not working - suspect something between pump and rear washer nozzle, due to fronts working fine?

could be pump, could be little filter in the tank, kinked pipe, it's one of those investigating problems.

4. Advice on rear shock absorbers
Advice will be given freely.

Hi, thanks for advice. If you could bring drops links, that would be helpful. I can order some, but no idea about cutting them down. Will sort payment on day.


Thanks.

Hi Bernard.
I can help in that i can bring a set of cables with me, and also i made a tool if we can get the bonnet up a little to see if it works or not, other than that it will be in through the wheel arch liner, so maybe wheel off, i will have jacks and some plates for the jack to stand on, I'm sure with al combined efforts we should be able to get it open,

Very noisy rattles at front suspension you guys have a look please

Great, I have a spare set of cables and splitter box. Hope it goes better than my 75 did a while back where we had to cut through one of the latch probes.

Ok Bernard.
I will just bring the tool, it was Scott whom showed us how to knock the pin backward with a screwdriver if you can make a little gap, so i made up a king of tool wonder if it will work
