Rover 200 & 400 Owners Club

Hmm, well, the inability to find the special tool led to the abandonment of the ALB system on my 216 GTi. It still stops pretty sharpish when called upon, but I do try not to drive "on the edge" in my old age :-)

I took the view that as it was an option when the car first came out then Honda/Rover did not see it then as a necessity. In fact the first (company) one I had back in 1990 just had the standard braking, and I did drive (and brake) pretty fast in those days, I recall that the company paid for a lot of front tyres! I drove that car to the limit for 80,000 miles in three years then somebody else had it for another 15,000 after me and it was still going strong. The one I have now is just about run in at 60,000 :-)

My vvc cabby doesn't have abs but my right leg knows cadence braking and its a lot more reliable

I bought the ALB tool linked above but not for that much....

My idea is that it be available to club members to borrow following the payment of a suitable returnable deposit.

I'll put a thread up shortly with some details

Might also be worth seeing if any @ c&c engineering can remake it as well john?
