Re: Have I got a serious problem developing?
It might be an ECU fault? Talk to Jon Wilcox down here in Wickwar he still has the appropriate Rover Fiche, best to catch him in the mornings. I believe he will post stuff. He did have someone who tested/repaired ECU's. It would be a great pity to scrap the old girl over something that should be rep...

Re: Transmission Cooler
Mine didn't jerk through the gears from what I can remember. The transmission oil cooler was really fitted for towing purposes; there would be more slip in the torque converter, due to the higher load and the need to generate more torque at the wheels to overcome the inertia of the extra load being ...

Re: Have I got a serious problem developing?
Bad fuel?
I mainly run my Ronda on Esso E5 I know that my 89 216GSi started running poorly due to a combination of short journeys to work & supermarket fuel.
There was a early 214 GSi for sale down in Portsmouth back in the summer but they wanted big bucks for it.

Re: R8 216 - Parts common to SOHC and DOHC models
There basically different cars Hardly anything is the same even the engine blocks are different That seems a bit harsh :) However, I take your point - it's probably better to think of them as two different models that have some parts in common rather than two variants of the same model. Having said...

Re: Front Brake Hose for 1990 214
Yes I would talk to Jon Wilcox too. I would avoid both Rimmers & Euro if I were you. You don't mention which size disks you have fitted? Although that probably won't affect the hose end or the Banjo bolt. The caliper & carrier will differ definitely. Just a word of warning Rimmer's think all...

Re: 216 XW Honda Engine D16A8 Convertible
Proximity isn't really a disadvantage if you think about it.
Do a search there are experts around who can re-programme fobs and the ECU I expect.
