Re: Rover 416 GTI Auto - Restoring an old friend

New power steering reservoir has arrived. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54363148079_72547b3d1a.jpg Not sure how long I've been under the illusion that there was fluid in the old one as the dark shadow is there even when it's empty! Tried to clean the inside unsuccessfully so opted for a new on...

Re: Rover 416 GTI Auto - Restoring an old friend

Yes I’m wondering too about the exhaust heat shield. I replaced the exhaust shield about 7 years ago, the original had corroded away, and the new one was just beginning to show some signs of corrosion. It didn’t appear to be any type of special coating so I decided to stick with a standard powder co...

Re: Rover 416 GTI Auto - Restoring an old friend

Power Steering brackets, alternator brackets , exhaust heat shield and steering box shield back from the powder coaters. :D Had them all done in silver rather than some of the parts being done in black, have to see how it looks when it's all back together, https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/5435789...

Re: Timing Covers Part Number confusion!

I’ve PM’d you.

Re: Timing Covers Part Number confusion!

Yes I have used that.
I get a bit confused as the possible models that used the same engine.

Timing Covers Part Number confusion!

Can anyone tell what these parts are suppose to be fitted to? LJR10126 - Rear Timing Belt Cover LJR10128 - Cover-timing belt - Lower LJR10126 appears twice on ebay but with different vehicle application. Both look like the same as the one off my 416 GTi with Honda D16 DOHC engine so I'm wondering if...

Re: Water pump - use of sealant?

Thanks for that reply. Will give it a clean up and remove the existing sealant applied by the garage who did the water pump back in 2016. I’ll see what the mating surface looks like once I’ve done that. Thankfully the replacement pump I brought a year ago is the correct one, as I don’t think they wo...
