so what have you replaced it with?

Tahiti

What is it with Rover coupe theft?!

What other bits and pieces did it have on it - the gold Roversport wheels are a bit of a giveaway, but what other parts should people keep an eye out for that were a little unusual/special?

Tahiti

If you get a good BRM, you'll be laughing. A good friend of mine had a GTi-6 and it wasn't any faster than my old BRM point to point. The red leather is a bit bright to start with but grows on you, however the front seats aren't as grippy as you might hope when tearing around. Things to look out for...

Tahiti

Does the BRM use the same CV joint as a Vi then? I remember that someone told me that it was different. I could be wrong mind you.

Tahiti

He's fine, and driving a diesel Volvo know if I remember right

He wrote his off just before mine was written off.

Tahiti

that is amazing.

Tahiti

Nice one - always impressed when people extract serious power!

Tahiti

205 GTi 1.9 without a doubt for Â£500. Nice handling (if you can find one that doesn't need the rear beam sorting out), pretty nippy, and it still looks fairly "cool".

Tahiti

I know a "hand car wash" place that does pretty much the same thing - only, using industrial floor cleaner

Tahiti

Adrian Flux have a bad reputation for pay outs. Still if your after TPFT and some no claims years then I dont see why not at all !!! I've heard the same thing in reference to pay outs, hence why I didn't go with them this year even though they were a little cheaper. A bloke I got speaking to on ano...

Tahiti

Hmm. Long time to reply as I've been giving it some serious thought. The wife hates Scoobies - reckons they're chavs cars. And she reckons the Sapph is too old (the 3 door Cossie always tempts me to spend more though...). Still made no decision, however my situation has changed, meaning that I will ...

Tahiti

Decisions...Decisions...

In the distant hazy days before Rovertech appeared - Rover200.com was the place we all called home It was set up by Phil Rawlinson from Netweaver to host some vids and pics from the 220gti chatgroup Santa Pod meeting and a forum was quickly established. Eventually the forum killed off the day to da...

Tahiti

As some of you will be aware, I had a BRM until the end of 2004. It was a fantastic car - nippy, great looking (though some of you may disagree...), well kitted, and frankly a brilliant car. Unfortunately, it was written off and I couldn't find a suitable replacement at the time, so I bought a Peuge...

Tahiti

The other option for you is to cantact Valeo themselfs, i am sure that they will be less than impressed that this company is fobbing off customers and giving Valeo a bad name. im sure one phone call from Valeo to the supplier will sort out the issue. Exactly! They'll love someone selling inferior p...

Tahiti

Those seats look fantastic!

Tahiti

Nice one. Why was it laid up out of interest?

Tahiti

So do fancyplates.com plates last well? I'm thinking of getting one of their smaller front plates done for my car.

Cheers

Tahiti

The quotes are good. The Customer Service out of normal office hours isn't. Just try getting anything sorted after 6.00 and you get put through to another country! Also, they are seriously slow at sorting out claims (I speak from previous experience). They do seem to get there in the end, just not a...

I've got a showroom brochure if you're interested. If you are, drop me an e-mail - rwatkins@heathlambert.com

My bro's an engine builder and reckons the quality of Halfords Professional is seriously good. Snap on are better but the price more than covers that fact!

Tahiti

Are they definitely for all vented brake models? The reason I ask is that I've got a set of them sitting in my garage that I've had no luck identifying!!

Cheers

Tahiti

Can anyone tell me what gearbox oil should be used in the Tomcat Turbo PG1 box (it's the one with the diff).

Cheers
Rob

Tahiti

Like that one on Ebay, but the latest version - includes cars made up to 2004 apparently. It's just been cracked.

It seems like it would be a good buy, so I'll see if I can still get hold of one.

Cheers
Rob

Tahiti

Has anyone heard of Autodata? Apparently they do a trade only CD which details loads of stuff on most models of car for most manufacturers going back to well before I was born! It’s apparently specific enough to note the BRM and specific bits to this model (inc recommended tyre pressures etc),...

Tahiti

I've never been insured with them myself, but I do have a couple of mates who are (one with standard car, one modified). The only problem that I see with Flux is the excess that they sometimes give you. The friend with the standard car (206GTi) has got a Â£500 excess. I think that's excessive for a ...

Tahiti

Just keep your fingers crossed that you don't need to contact customer services at a strange time - you can be re-rooted to Bangalore (or similar), and spend an age trying to explain things on the phone!

It took me 40 minutes of calls to sort out a temporary cover on another car recently!

Tahiti

I'd recommend Bosch super ones. They are very good too.

Tahiti

having driven both, I though the N/A T-series was pretty lifeless in comparison to the VVC. But then again, the gearing comes into it too!

Tahiti

I'd stick with the mech unless you want serious power. You risk losing out on low end torque with a solid cam set up. I've got a BRM with the VVC in place and a couple of minor mods (more planned), my brother's got a VHPD+ engine and I prefer the VVC set up - it's more useable round town, but it doe...

Tahiti

It has got to be the 200 BRM. I like everything about this car bar the the insurance grouping. Its rare (only about 800 ever in the UK), stands out, looks better, is made better and is more fun than the ZR160. I would say that though - I have got one and I love it to pieces!

Tahiti

Cool - was thinking about getting one of these!!

Tahiti

D'oh! Just worked it out - 2.1. Call me quick!! Well not literally. Oh you know what I mean!

Congrats on the car - anything over 250BHp has got to be great!! I'm used to a lot less than that.

Tahiti

I'm being thick - what's a 621R??

Tahiti

Admiral were pretty good until I tried to get cover for another car. The amount of times I spoke to people out in India of an evening who didn't speak English p!ssed me off enough that I won't be renewing with them. They also wanted to charge me Â£95 for adding nothing more than an induction kit to ...
