Classic Car Show at Haynes Museum Somerset 6th September 2026
Anyone interested in going to this event at the Haynes Museum in Sparkford. A club stand is £100 for 5 vehicles (2 passengers per vehicle). Visiting the museum is a further £5 per person. A bit expensive but I could make enquires about a club stand if there is a good response https://www.johnhaynesc...

Re: Rover 416 GTI Auto - Restoring an old friend
An amazing day at POL on Saturday. 370 mile round trip with no issues. Managed around 43 mpg on the way up, which is amazing for a 34 year old car with auto transmission. Haven’t topped up to see what it did on the return journey. Was lovely to have a steering wheel that was straight after having th...

I am trying to replace the plastic membrane on the rear door of my 91 416 after replacing the electric window mechanism. Having accidentally thrown the original membrane away, whilst trying to keep the garage tidy :laughing , I have made a few prototypes and am now in a position to purchase some sli...

Re: Rover 416 GTI Auto - Restoring an old friend
Fitted new rear compensator arms so hopefully now I can get the tracking sorted before POL. Just hoping there's not a fuel crisis by then :laughing https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55171503956_55b3189c0b_w.jpg The first one took a bit of time as I didn't realise that you have to drop the trailing...

Re: NEC Resto Show 2026
As per previous post I can’t do Friday. Would love to but family commitments mean I can only do the Sunday.
Looking forward to catching up although I’ll probably need a coffee shot on arrival to get me going as it’ll be an early start for me

Re: Which things will kill our cars? Common faults?
I brought the brushes for my 1991 416 Rover from this company. https://wagendass.com/en/ Yes they are in france so p+p and import tax add to the cost. But their cross ref chart meant I could identify my alternator exactly and the appropriate brushes. I could have brought then on eBay for a little bi...

Re: Rover 416 GTI Auto - Restoring an old friend
Issue with captive nut now sorted. Phew. A bit more work/cost than anticipated - as always - but an old repair on the near side removed and replaced along with the capitve nut being refitted. Cross member also had a repair to the off side which was cleaned up and both repairs painted , inside wax tr...
