Am I alone in finding tomcat espace's post a tad puzzling? It's very lonely being alone ... :) I'm on most MG and Rover enthusiasts' sites including FB and have found quite the opposite. Facebook has limitations mostly as its used by those with little hand held devices such as phones which do not en...

Just checked my store of new PG1 Bearings and I have a spare "UPRATE". This fits on top of the Input Shaft and locates in the upper PG1 casing ( not bellhousing ) There are two sizes of this bearing fitted into PG1s, the larger "UPRATE" version usually fitted to the Gearbox in th...

After a steel cage u spec 3/LJ28 and a RJ2024, anyone able to help messaged op but no reply. I have a few steel caged premium grade PG1 Bearings new in their boxes. These include actual MG-Rover ones too. some are quite expensive and far from easy to obtain now. Refresh my memory. Which bearings ar...

I had no idea all this has been going on, sorry to see so much bad feeling. Maybe it is just a matter of time, I hope not, this is a little bit of Rover history here. I hope whoever is in a position to allow a transfer of power if you like, will allow it to evolve and develop with the cars and user...

Social media. Much going on in the rover scene? wedges, 600s, 800s? Yes, there is but sadly it is fragmented and widely spread now. Not all on one site. Off the top I recall a few ... Rover 600 Appreciation Society MG Rover T16 Owners MG ZT and ZT-T Owners Just MG-Rs .... and no doubt many others.

Something needs organising in 2018 Have enough trouble getting people to post let alone a meet of any sort [emoji38] Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk I guess it is only natural as there are fewer Rovers and no new models. Rovertech has been mainly performance based but maybe encourage more orig...

Or is the NASP kit still available ?

If that is the Input Shaft Bearing in the centre of the PG1 Gearbox Bell Housing I can supply a new one of those if you get stuck locally.

Premium quality steel caged.

Nice info, thanks for that. Always remember you saying about the fluid in the box! :thumbup: You should write a book :D Another 620ti Gearbox story. I bought a red 620ti over ten years ago which had lost both 5th and 4th gears. Paid little for it because of that. Would drive only in 1st, 2nd, 3rd a...

I have a gold label k7? montego turbo gearbox in my shed, I bought it off cableguy a good 5 years ago, never used it, never unwrapped it, I'm sure you did a post once saying these were decent boxes? I paid £80 for it delivered, I am hoping to use it when I finally get mine on the road, obviously st...

Crikey. Nice to see you still posting MGJohn :thumbup: For my own mind, are you saying these bearing are virtually unobtainable? Regular 9-Ball 6208s are easily available. 14-Ball ones less so. No not virtually unobtainable, just expensive and hard to pin down reliable suppliers. That was ten years...

MGJohn

I know last post was a few months ago but can anyone shed any light on the 14 ball diff bearings. I want to source some. I had difficulty sourcing some and that was ten years ago. Took ages. I have a spare pair still in original wrappings but, they will not be cheap. It's about ten years since I la...

Just had a look at my small store of bearings. Mostly singles which I want to keep as I know from experience they are sometimes hard to obtain and expensive when you do. This image shows the only ones I have as spares and can let go. Let me know if I can assist further :~ http://i66.tinypic.com/2rgi...

I have the diff replacement bearings already I'm looking for the upper uprated pg1 box input and main shaft steel caged bearingsand the lower uprated steel cage bearings Do you have any links for them please?

What do you guys have?

Thanks

I have the lower Rover 620ti one which connects the Water Pump Hose, Turbo coolant hose and Rad hose.

Very good condition. Let me know if of interest to you.

Should I buy it then £200 with long MoT ... what's not to like. That's little more than loose change for any car. If it has been well maintained and serviced, should provide many more miles. I have a ZT which is the sportier version of the 75s. As a previous poster, great cars and exceptional value...

Motor Insurance Lapsed nine hours ago saving £30! The Insurance on my wife's MG ZS expired at 00.01 this morning. Phoned up to renew and instead of the £184 to renew, as her policy had lapsed she was treated as a new client and so the premium was £154. I know why insurance companies do this and I al...

Used my Rover 620ti and a neighbour's small trailer to collect two nearside doors in XPGrey from Loughborough for my MG ZT. Some unseeing young cyclist crashed into the side doors and dented both doors and the rear panel in my street! Silly sod. Never looked. He was about ten feet up in the air at o...

Over on another car enthusiasts' web site (PH), knowing my love of all things Rover and MG, a member contacted me with a free offer of some Rover parts ~ including a new 800 Instrument assembly ~ and various Rover workshop manuals.

Well said that man. Cannot fault a single word! The way I have been seeing things here in the UK for far too long.

If most folks thought that way in the green and pleasant .... it would be much greener and more pleasant.

Some very thought provoking posts here. Thanks to all. Nice to know there are some who see many things as I do.

This run-up to the election. I find it all very interesting and at the same time, very depressing lately. I've long since come to the conclusion that many of my fellow country men and women are poor judges or at best, very forgetful when it comes to voting. I was pleased to vote for Tony Blair back ...

The big con of this tory government is to have been able to blame the worldwide currency collapse onto the Labour government! What makes me suspicious is that Labour didn't even deny it, instead they have conveniently become the scapegoat for the banking community who truly made the mess we were in...

Depressing. Very, very depressing. MG "Interesting" John has had much interest in all the GEs since Harold Wilson was successful back in October 1964. None, not a single one has left me anywhere near so very depressed as the whole sickening run-up to this one has done. Have I changed or ha...
