Default T-reg 75 CDT, for spares/repair

A good friend of mine has decided to get rid of his Rover 75 CDT as the master cylinder has apparently failed, and he doesn't have the cash to fix it, also he now has a replacement vehicle.

Selling complete, as he doesn't have time to strip it down for parts.

The car is sort of blue/green (I think the colour is called "Atlantic Blue"), he is the 3rd owner (1st was Rover themselves), good history, 2 keys present, all the toys (FBH, sat nav / tv, heated memory seats, Harmon Kardon, cruise, electric blind, etc etc), pre project drive, wood dash.

Year 1999 T reg
Mileage 220k
MOT until 15th October
Tax until end November

Car can be viewed in Maidstone.

He's looking for £500.


EDITED to change description of fault - the master cylinder appears to have failed, not the clutch/DMF, as there is no resistance on the pedal, but car still has drive when in gear.

Couple of pics...





*****pm me for more info*****

Looks a really Bonnie car, and yes it is indeed Atlantic Blue. Good luck with the sale

Master cylinder failure. I guess that is a big job then. I hope the car be sold and rescued as an on-going project

Yep, gearbox off job. Cost isn't bad if you can DIY, but going through a garage you're looking at quite a few hours labour... so not cheap.

You said master cylinder, which a fairly straightforward repair. The slave cylinder replacement, is the one which requires gearbox removal.

Fix a poor handbrake; DIY ABS diagnostic unit; Loan of the spanner needed to change the CDT belts; free OBD diagnostics +MAF; Correct Bosch MAF cheap; DVB-T install in an ex-hi-line system; DD install with a HK amp; FBH servicing.

I've taken a vow of poverty. To annoy me, send money.

Ahh I see. Well I have an auto so I wouldn't know!

Well, if it is just the master cylinder then it's an easier fix. But I don't know if the slave also needs doing... as I said, apparently the pedal has no resistance - would that mean slave or master?

Are you not interested in this one Lewis? you might get silly money for the interior for a start off and then whatever else you would get for breaking the rest of the car
