Re: Rover 216 cabriolet. Dashboard clock and Interior light.
When I bought my current 214 there was a similar problem with the clock. I dismantled it and found the unit with the screen was loose on the PCB - the soldered joints had broken. I resoldered them and it's been fine ever since.

Re: Have I got a serious problem developing?
At the risk of sounding a complete idiot this is my (very basic) layman’s understanding of the system. When you press the accelerator the throttle opens and the TPS sends a signal to the ECU. The ECU then sends a signal to the injector to provide an appropriate amount of fuel. Your first problem des...

Re: Have I got a serious problem developing?
Nice work Hugh. I’m sorry you haven’t found the cause of the original problem but, as you say, at least you’ve now got a tool that could help diagnose any future electronic issues (and interesting that it shows a previous coolant sensor fault). Incidentally, I can’t remember how the diagnostic plug ...

Re: Have I got a serious problem developing?
Yes, that's the app I was referring to https://rovermems.com/. I notice on their front page they refer to MEMS 1.3,1.6 and 1.9, then mention 1.2 in the drop down list below. Before you commit to anything it might be worth dropping James an email to check how much functionality it has with that earli...

Re: Have I got a serious problem developing?
It’s a lot of years since I had my SPi but I do remember having a similar problem with regards intermittent rough running. The car would run fine, then lose power, then pick up again. After a lot of head scratching and swapping out of parts I eventually solved it by replacing the rotor arm. Even if ...
