Rover 200 & 400 Owners Club

hey every1 today i installed half leather seats out out of a 414 hatchback the fount to seat are lovely and are very nice to sit in they hold ur body postion well. i could'nt install the back seats =( becus they were hatch backseats, what i need to know is what type of rover will contain the backseats that will fit my car? is it a rover 414/416 saloon SE? i got each seat for a fiver *laughs*.

let me know, also i have a little question

a rover 216? is it called a 216 becus its the same as a 414 but hatchback?

cheers every1

basically yeah

the numbers 216 are 2 series 1.6 l engine
the 414 is 4 series 1.4 l engine

the 2 series line are hatchbacks
the 4 series are all boot saloon models

hope this helps

cheers man what about the leather seats anyone got any idea?

From memory, the 4xx seats are bolted top and bottom at the sides, whereas the 2xx (as you've found out) have a bracket at the bottom to allow the seats to fold.

Did the 4xx EVER have a split rear seat? I guess you could just use some BUTCH self tapping screws through the existing metalwork were the seats go?

i could but it would'nt look right, i'm just going to wait till i can find the half leather rear seats in a saloon! i dont like screwing no holes in my car it has anuff already!!!!

I'm sure someone with a 4xx will tell you for sure or you can check it out youself, I'm sure, but doesn't the rear seat bolt in from the boot?

If so, you wouldn't see the screws...

You would basically need the seats from any other 400 - 414/416/418/420, not the tourer though.

by tourer do u mean saloon?

"tourer" = posh word for estate.
