Re: Found another 216 in a field
Would that rear boot spoiler fit a 216 Cabriolet?

Re: Why are Rovers so undervalued ?
Last week I had the pleasure of talking with a young man -20 something - who could not get over the condition of my 216 Cabriolet. He couldn’t believe it was 26 years old and wanted to know all about it. His Dad stood by smiling as he drooled over it. It was good to see a younger person appreciating...

Re: Turtle Wax ceramic wash & wax
Oh come off it lads; you’ve got me feeling guilty now. I’ll have to give my Cabbie a wash and polish this weekend.

Re: POL 2022 - 23rd April
23rd April! St George’s day! Can we come in our horse-drawn chariots and slay the foreign (Japanese etc) dragons?

216 Cabriolet in Llandudno
British Racing Green Cabriolet spotted in Llandudno yesterday (Friday 06 August). Was on my way to collect my 216 Cabriolet after a successful service and MOT. Not spotted the BRG locally before.

Re: First Outing for 2 Years
Both cabbies have rear spoilers. Apart from looking good do they enhance performance?

Head gasket - how much?
My 1996 216 Cabriolet needs a new head gasket. I am having it done anyway, but does anyone know the sort of financial outlay involved? Having some sort of financial idea may ease the financial pain! Some may say I should scrap it, but when love strikes - and after owning it for 25 of its 26 years, i...

Re: E5 and E10 petrol containing ethanol
I have always run my 216 Cabbie on 95 octane (E10) but, following the debate on the forum, I filled her up with 97 octane (E5) yesterday and what a difference that made! It’s like having a new woman (oops! I will have the politically correct forum after me for that remark) but she runs so much smoot...

Re: E5 and E10 petrol containing ethanol
So it’s E5 petrol for my 216 Cabriolet and E10 for my wife’s Volvo - she always has the snarling power monsters!
