216 Cabrio from Bedfordshire

Post by Ryan216 »

Hi all!

My name is Ryan and I'm from Bedfordshire.

I have recently purchased a Rover 216 Cabriolet 1.6 16v twin cam in relatively good condition apart from the dreaded hood!

I'm finding it quite difficult to find cantrail seals ad various other parts fro the power hood so any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks.

Hey John.

Yeah that's me mate.

That video was quite helpful but I'm struggling to find part for the hood.. I would of thought seals would be easy to find.
