2003 Rover 75 CDT Connoisseur Tourer Automatic *** SOLD ***

Greeners · 14th July 2015, 16:24

Well here goes..........................

This car was destined to be broken until I stepped into save it. It stopped running one day and the owner decided to simply buy another car.

Having dragged it home it became clear what the problem was. Injector number 3 had made a break for freedom and won. Two suds, one clamp an O ring and washer later the car fired up and ticked over without hesitation.

Having gone round the car, it's clear that its had money spent on it, but not necessarily with the right garage.....

Anyway moving forward, I've been through the car from front to back and done everything that needs doing as follows............

New Back Box and exhaust clamp fitted
Tailgate Applique - Replaced
Rear Passenger Door Seal Trim - Refitted
Drivers Interior Door Handle - Replaced
Load space Headlining and Lamp - Refitted
Tailgate seal - Refitted
EGR Valve - Cleaned
Scuttle Clips - Replaced
PCV Filter - Replaced
Oil, Air and Fuel Fliters - Changed
Engine oil - Changed
Injector Clamp, studs,seal and O Ring - Replaced (the cause of the non running)
Both headlamp Inspection Panels Missing - Replaced
Drivers Door Seal - Replaced
Intercooler O Rings - Replaced
Jack - Replaced
OEM Mats - Fitted
Grill - Replaced
Tailgate Badge - Replaced
EPROM Corrupted / Lines on Message Centre
4 Uniroyal Rain Sport 3 Tyres fitted
Replacement Parking Sensor Loom
Headlamp bulb securing clip x 1
3 x Well Nuts - Air Intake
High Note Horn - fitted
Offside headlamp - Changed
Front Fog Lamp - Replaced

If it wasn't for the fact we need a 7 seater, it would be staying in the family.

Now the usual Bits.

In Starlight Silver (MBB)

Well amazed it's still sitting here,

It's a cracking car and I'd rather a member got it then it ends up on eBay.

Greeners · 25th July 2015, 16:38

Now Reduced in price.....

Greeners · 30th July 2015, 19:47

Well, I can't believe no one has bought it

Monday it'll go onto Autotrader

The_Bullman · 1st August 2015, 15:06

I'd love to buy but its a bit outside my budget.

Hi David - PM sent!

MrSooty
You've already got one

MrSooty · 7th August 2015, 13:43

Yes Jules, but 'senior management' might like one as well

Greeners · 10th August 2015, 21:13

Well I'm please to say it went for an MOT, and passed with flying colours, the owner did the test and he's very picky....

I had a look underneath and I can say its more dusty then rusty

Anyway the upshot is the car is now sold pending delivery.

I'm sure they new owner will make themselves known in due course.
