My project

Hi everyone
Thought I would introduce my 216 SLI, last on the road in 2013. Enormous sentimental value to me. I have a lot to do though ☹️

Re: Timing belt change

Thanks for that Teddy, I think I will get a mobile mechanic in. When you mention engine mounts and supporting the engine, etc, that’s beyond me. You have saved me problems so thank you mate

Timing belt change

Hi everyone I’m about to tackle my first ever timing belt and water pump change on my 216 SLI - Honda SOHC engine. Any tips for a novice to avoid problems and are there any special tools I need ?
Thanks

Re: 216 power steering

I cant even get at them to check. MOT Garage is very trustworthy and told me the pipes crumbled. I will ask them about making some up for me .

Rover 216 alarm

Hi

The alarm on my 216 auto is set but I cant turn it off using my key fob, and the red light on the dash stays illuminated. I can access the car using the manual key but of course it just sets the alarm off.

Please help guys ! what can i do to fix it or disable the alarm ?
