2003 (53) Rover 75 Club SE Turbo Auto None Runner -**GONE**

Chilljohn · 17th December 2013, 21:28

reg date of 11/12/2003
on a 53 plate
in gold
cloth seats
16" facelift "forked" alloys will need 2 new tyres on front
49 k
good auto box

few parking marks on front bumper but nothing major

the issue of the car is it overheats , or attempts to , I always drive with the temp on mileage display and now the car has the following fault , temp rises slowly till 105 , then the car will some times (rarely) bring the temp down , most of the time the fan comes on and stays on but the car maintains 104 and wont go lower unless you turn the atc to HI and full fans then it will

I have tried the following

new thermostat
new rad cap
and a coolant flush
new img
new water pump
there is no mixing of the oil and water so if its the gasket will be exhaust into the coolant
the auto box works as should as does the rest of the car
she comes with 2 keys
4x electric windows
mg rover direct number plates still on car
no tax
mot till aug 2014

I currently have an engine sat in the yard and was going to fit that , but my back and time will not let me your for £150 if you buy with the car

im after £400 for the car as it is + £150 if you want the engine too

im sure she is worth more in bits with the good auto box but offering complete to start

car currently starts and moves under own power

any questions please ask

I will sort pics out tomorrow
