getting up the hill out of it, in the wet with a mushy ground covering of leaves is fun!

Yeah, lighting up those front wheels must be awesome.

It does actually feel pretty perky for a derv

All diesels do that, it's deceptive.

I think you have a thing for towbars.

It's a Rover, Yeah!
It's a Rover, it's got a healthy M.O.T,
It's a Rover, it's driven by an O.A.P,
It's a Rover, the engine won't turnover,
It's a Rover, driven by someone slightly older,
It's a Rover, 2 wheel drive, the guy behind it is barely alive,
It's got a single paint coat,
It's been towed so many times it thinks it's a boat.

Update, been busy with this!

Went to Powerflow as the OEM exhaust fell off in a shower of sparks in the middle of Liverpool, and got a quiet-ish but freeflowing Catback system.

This weekend, I've kept myself busy fitting these...

SDi injectors - the ones used on the older Rover 200/400/600. These have a lower break pressure of 200bar so reduce pump wear and also increase power.

Little bit smokier now, but has made a difference to acceleration

Given your Location when this happened, you probably did not realise this was and attempted theft of your exhaust.....

No. The cars behind you can no longer keep up through having to navigate your smoke screen....

They look like they are from the arc.

Also free flowing derv exhaust.....

If your happy, who cares

To be honest I think the police need to crack down on people doing stupid ghetto mods to knackered diesels and then driving around everywhere billowing out smoke. It's getting a bit ridiculous.

i thought you were going to get a 528? :confused:

Not sure about a 3" exhaust on a diesel. Need videos tbh.

Congratulations on a green Rover 400 diesel with a scuff on the bumper and a towbar. Instant win!

Funniest thread of the week tbh

Would £1800 not have gone a very long way towards sorting out the 620 and paying for a load of fuel?

Ah good, I guess thats when you stop the copying, given I don't buy old BMW's. Seriously what's with the sudden attacks for no discernable reason?

Jealousy I think.

Just like his attempts to goad me because he thinks his cheap fiesta is better than 2002 passat and then in every post about one makes out that i think my car is a supercar :rolleyes:

Known as a "mufflerectomy" does quite well for performance on VAG PD diesels. Not sure about Rovers.

Can I ask the OP a question ?

If you own a rover and you find it terribly unreliable, why do you then go out and buy not only another rover, but a diesel one ? MG arent known (as far as i know) for making great diesel engines.
