Re: Front door lock problem - 1991 Rover 200

Thanks Johnny. I'll have another look at this at the weekend. The rod is still attached but not as fully as I think it should be but with gentle pushing it didn't seem to want to push any further into the latch in the middle of the door.

Re: Honda Antilock Braking System (ALB2) fault diagnostics

Hi John, You may know this by now, but fault code 1, pump motor over-run, usually means the pump is seized, and depending whether you're unlucky, the motor may have burnt out too.

Re: ### STOLEN - ROVER 216GSi, WHITE 5 DOOR. REG - H470 KPH

Hi all,

Just to say thank you for looking for H470 KPH but I'm pleased to say it has now safely returned home. Surprisingly there was no damage to it other than it needing a new starter motor.

Thanks again,

Re: Automatic transmission fluid ?

I've got a few autos and one has now done 147,000 so they are fairly strong but things can wear. The new fluid is Ribena in colour so see what comes out when you drain it. It should just look very dark red when you drain it. Make sure the container you drain the fluid into is clean so you can see if...
