Cracked head? I need some manpoints for this. :D

You're not a man until you get a mouth full of petrol.

Done that.
Twice.

Or at least, 2 seperate occasions. And repeatedly :/

Worryingly, it tasted of Red Square Vodka

Honda engines were in the 600s (1.8, 2.0 NASP and 2.3) and in the older Rover 200/400 etc, due to the breakup with Honda before BMW took over in circa 2000, none were used after that.

In fact, Honda liked the Rover diesel unit so much they used it in the Civic.

Honda engines in pre 96 800's too: 825/827mk1's and 827 mk2's

Not sure if that's a reflection on the quality of the vodka or the quality of the petrol!

 

[mattyprice4004]

Of course yeah, who could forget the 800

 

[[TW]Fox]

it's such a good drive...

How would you even know if you've never driven anything but old Rovers? It's not a good drive at all, not with that awful engine in the front of it!

 

[ZG002]

surely running 1 ZS 180 (Not that id even bother!) is cheaper than running a 620ti and a ZStd? Even if it does 15mpg less,

Id get shot of both and get something decent tbh, Or get a proper cheap to run banger (That don't break!) and something actual fun for the weekend.

Crazy rover lover

Maybe you could afford not to have the diesel if you didn't do things like drive 600 mile round trips to have a pint?

It's like talking to a brick wall, it really is. Mat is very set in his ways

 

[agw_01]

Even I've tried telling him to sell the ZS. If he won't listen to a fellow Rover fanboi, you guys have no chance

I have driven other cars you know, the usual stuff

I just liked the fact the ZS was cheap, was familiar with the engine and it's not a bad drive... 150odd bhp with 250lb/ft does make it stand out from other sub-£2k rides.

I'm not the massive fanboi you all make me out to be you know, for now they do the job but I won't have them all my life.

 

[L0rdMike]

Sell them both and get one uber car that does everything?

I had no idea it was quite so powerful.

 

[Matt82]

People actually "taste" vehicle fluids?!

I'm all up for wielding power tools and smothering myself in used oil whilst wearing speedo's, but tasting fluids?

Are they not toxic?

loads of times. sometimes you can id them by smell

Its Mayo honest, nom nom.

Where is the crack? How do you know it's not the gasket?

I've bought cars with 300BHP and 300ft.lb for 500 quid, so .....on that basis it's not great either

In fact pretty much everything I've bought in the past year has been 150-300BHP and 200-300ft.lb and all under 2k so.......you've no excuse!

 

[Howard]

Quite. Stop trying to justify it and swallow your pride

Got a lol here, haha

Compared to standard it's a fair increase, sadly I can't afford to run anything more interesting.
