Rovertech 2.0

How's this looking nowadays? There must be only a small handful still in existance, let alone owned by RT'ers

Said it before and will say it again (and probably again, and again and again!) - I still miss mine!!

Leo

Every few weeks or months I pop in here to see what is going on. Rarely do I stick around and dig into new threads, there just doesn't seem to be much happening in the Rover world anymore.

Leo

Forgot to mention George McMMMM, that guy who ran RSM. Some very memorable/interesting stories revolving around him but I'm sure most people who know the stories would rather forget them!

Leo

Quite a few from waaay back, even pre Rovertech (rover200.com days) Gurney bros in general - legendary cars in the community, good banter on MSN messenger and lots of arguments! Mark - sadly left us quite a while ago to join the turbocharged VTEC 216 cabriolet workshop in the sky. Top bloke, hugely ...

Leo

Hello! One of the oldschool here too

Leo

Damn - these things still look good.

Leo

Bloody hell that was quick - the boy's got dibs!

Leo

Hi guys, A friend of mine has these two Coupe seats lying around and wants rid. He got them for free from another friend (some of you might remember Fordo / Fordimus Prime from here, he had a charcoal grey 420 GSi Turbo around the same time I had mine, and a couple of Coupes before that) so doesn't ...

Leo

Some of us old blokes still pop in from time to time to have a nosey around

Even if it's still fairly quiet in here, there's still more than 10 years of knowledge and projects in here. Lack of new stuff shouldn't detract from that.

Leo

Done a search but didn't find any mention of this important RT day and I totally forgot about it until now. On the evening of 19 February 2003, Rovertech was born. It was spawned from groups of people leaving various other popular Rover forums of the time. Many of the folks who were main contributor...

Likewise John. I always enjoy reading your posts; I'm more active (only as a member rather than a poster) on PistonHeads and can always spot your posts before looking at the username

Leo

Hi chaps :) I've been a member since a pretty long time, through my 214Si ownership and onto the unforgettable (and still very much missed) 420 GSi Turbo. Loads of names on here I recognise and plenty I don't - it's great to see the forum still going, people still running, modifying, meeting, banter...

Leo

I think he re-built it into another shell Leo, the original had some huge cracks around the front suspension towers :scared: Sad to hear :( However I finally feel some closure! (I may, just may, have mentioned a hundred times before how much I miss that car!!!) Found the 'crack' thread in Bodywork/...

Leo

Bump!

I was just Googling some of my old car registration numbers and this thread popped up

What's the current status of these badboys? Probably I don't want to know the answer but... does Rizzy still have 'my' old 420t?

Leo

I still pop in from time to time to see how things are

Leo

Price dropped to £550.

Leo

Anybody got a set laying around in the garage, please?

Leo

Hi all, I need a set of wheels to fit a 600. Don't mind if they are steel or alloys and don't need tyres as I will be fitting winter tyres to them. The only rub is that I'm in Germany at the moment and would need them sending to me here. Naturally I'm happy to pay for the courier cost. If you've got...

Leo

Hi all,

Feel free to leave any good or bad feedback about me here. Sure many of you know I've been around these parts for a LONG while but I'm don't visit so much anymore.

Cheers,
Leo

Leo

Still got the Rover 600 diesel I bought off John P before I left 2 yrs ago. Still on UK plates and running around Germany, Italy and France - it was back in UK for its MOT back in May. Been looking at getting a car over here mainly because I'm at the point where I want and can afford something 'nice...

To apply to become a personal trader, please send an email to admin@rovertech.net including your username. Shoulda gone to specsavers :lol: Ahh Cableguy, you're still around I see ;-) "To apply to become a personal trader" - specsavers?! There wasn't a point that I wanted to be a "pe...

Leo

Can someone let me know why I can't post in that forum? I think I've been a member long enough and think I might have made one or two useful inputs at some point in the 7yrs since I joined (is it REALLY that long?!!) Not got a car for sale but would really like to contribute to this thread again: ht...

Leo

Bought the repair kit and fitted it - dead easy and a great fix! Really recommend this to anyone else who has the same problem.

Leo

Hi guys - thanks for the advice. I had seen the repair kits on eBay and wondered about trying them out. This is the one right? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Rover-220-420-620-25-45-ZR-Diesel-Starter-Repair-Kit_W0QQitemZ290372490435QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item439b8c94c3 Look...

Leo

Hi all, Been a while since I posted on here, thankfully that is good news as nothing *touch wood* has really gone wrong with the car in all this time. However recently the starter started (!!) playing up. In fact it did the same thing last year when the weather started getting cold but I ignored it ...

Leo

Hi boys and girls :) Bit of a tricky one, this. I've now had the 600 for over a year and it's been kept at our address in Frankfurt on UK plates. I'm starting to get a bit worried about the real legality of this and even though the car is fully UK legal and the insurance covers for full 12 months ab...

Leo

Who's to say it hasn't been modified to be like that? Or am I missing a trick?

Leo

there was a 'hissing' type spark sound from under the fuse box by the ECU. Sorry to hear of your misfortune!! Regarding the above quote - have you checked inside and underneath the fusebox for any strangeness? Melted bits/wires/etc kinda thing going on perhaps?? Certainly sounds electrical esp as i...

Leo

Yes and I am sure you all know which one I'm talking about

Still miss it very much, especially over here with the Autobahns.

Leo

Having owned an 800 vit sport now, id take one of them (stripped out, ditch the crash bars, and the 285mm brakes). They are a superb drive and its the only car ive driven which you can jump in and give it 100% and you just know it wont do something stupid. To me ideal for the ring. Unfortunate it l...

I wouldn't take a Rover unless it was a pretty fast one TBH. There are loads of cars which would fit the bill. Recently seen a NASP mk2 MR2 going for around 800 or there abouts, that would be good fun. Or how about a 3 litre Monza: http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/986521.htm Mk1 MR2: http://www.pi...

Leo

Ahhh Fordo, that Capri was awesome! Still can't believe it was in that garage for so long and for that reason. In fact your 420t was similar in that respect - owner thinking there was a very expensive noise but in fact the car was fine :) In 2000, my first car was a white '91 J Vauxhall Nova 1.4i Me...

Leo

Most people go there on the Weds/Thurs and then come back on the Mon/Tues. I'll be driving there from FFM on the Weds all day and coming back on the Monday. From what I understood, your Ring visit would be on that actual weekend? Or has Vard given me a bum steer?! If you are here the weekend before,...
