"Rover", the parts for some models are getting rare.

I've seen a used Rover wheel bearing sell for £95.

Looks in pretty good nick, can't see why somebody couldn't use it.

I don't see how this is possible as parts manufacturers sign contracts requiring them to produce for at least 5 years after the model ceases production IIRC.
When did Rover go bang?

You work in the rubber inspection department or is it only you who can see the braceing behing the rubber?

Indian manufacturers don't.

Surely as part of the deal to import here they had to guarantee similar parts availability though?

Not sure they care, most of the parts are prolly available through Tata, maybe?

A friend of mine had a City Rover, she crashed it, bent the frame, bonnet, and both wings. Also, as is the way with the City Rover, it had a gearbox, at least 1 suspension joint, and at least 1 wheel bearing gone. It's done just over 20,000 miles.

The body panels (same as the Indica) were impossible to find, and are now constructed mostly of filler. The suspension component was available, the wheel bearing was swapped for one dimensionally identical, and the gearbox is making do.

I see the belt didn't sell.....not surprising really....

 

[Dave L]

OMG - the same seller is trying to sell a used water pump, complete with gland seal drip stains (See the pink stains, that is a glaring indicator that the pump is fubar'd, leaking antifreeze)

would never reuse a belt after it's been under tension personally, not worth the risk!

 

[BigglesPiP]

I know it's illegal to sell a that isn't in road-worthy condition (unless you state that it's not sound).

But it it the same case with bits of your car?
