Anyone still running L series diesels?

Post by Oldroverdiesel »

Hi,
Any members still out there with L series diesels?
I’ve owned a 400 and currently have a 45 diesel in the garage as a ‘lock down’ project car.
Hope there are others still escaping the scrap man!

Thanks for your reply.
Like yourself I’ve owned three Rovers over the last 20 years. A 414si, 400 diesel and my current 45 diesel which has become my lock down project!
Just getting my enthusiasm back after not doing anything for months, and thinking of joining your club to keep my interest and hopefully have some local meets to attend if I can get my engine running better (suspect vp30 injection pump problem).

We just scrapped a 600 L Series, but still have another in a Maestro Campervan.
Rover 220 GTi Turbo.
