Two small(ish) issues

Post by djf33068 »

I’m looking for two small parts that are apparently common problem areas - on P reg 216
1 - refurbished clock
2 - heater motor fan only works at high speeds. What part do I need and where can I get it?

2 - Heater Blower Resistor. Plenty on E-bay from £8-£34. I replaced mine with a cheap one 8 years ago and it's still functioning. About a 5 minute fix, it's located behind the glovebox. There's a YouTube video for it somewhere.

1. Try rjesset, on here, for your clock. I know he repairs or exchanges some iterations of Rover clocks but not sure if yours will be one of them. There's a recent thread in the club chat section from Richard on this topic. Sorry, don't know how to link you to said thread.

Im assuming you have the remote radio clock - we can certainly repair those - PLease order though the RCOC shop here:- https://store.rover-coupe.com/12-services

200/400 members get a discount on the price - so please use the discount code linked to above

We are also at Pride of Longbridge on Saturday, and can do exchanges (and fitment!) Whcih saves quite a bit on the postage

I’ve tried it.
Unless the prices have gone up?

So why ask for a discount code when there isn’t one?

Hi - Prices have not risen at all - the Discount code for the 200/400 forum in the link above should still work OK - I have double checked for you

Please try again and see how you get on,

I couldn't see any discount code.

That said I’ve sent my clock off to get it fixed anyway. Hoping that if there is a discount for club members they’ll give it to me.

BTW I’ve also bought and fitted a resistor for the tan speed control. Works fine. Thanks to those of you who sent me the info.
