I have a query regarding my 1994 Rover 214SI; its been running a bit sluggish at low speed so Ive changed the SparkPlugs, HT Leads and the Distributor Cap & Rotor Arm, the Distributor Cap connection were very pitted and the Rotor Arm didn't look too good either, so this may have a bearing on the performance issue?

Also I went to replace the Crankshaft Position Sensor hidden under the engine at the rear (what a pain this is to access!!) - and this is where I have the query; in peering down the rear of the engine under the inlet manifold, I can see the Flywheel through an opening in the engine casing, there appears to be bolt holes adjacent this, so is there suppose to be a cover plate covering this opening on the engine?

I know from speaking a a previous owner that the owner before him (now deceased) supposably had the clutch renewed? So if there is a cover plate (?) its feasible the garage didn't replace it??

Any advise is gratefully received, and if there is a cover plate required, where on earth would I get one!!!?

Hopefully you can see the issue in the two photo?

regards
Mark

There should be a thin metal cover that bolts there. I’ll see if I can find the part number for you later.
