Spanish Club Members Forum Dual language
 

Hi, 75´s or Mg´s living in Spain :welcome:

I just decide to create this thread to all of you living in Spain for some reasons:

First of all, we share the same love for our vehicles and after all these years I have to realize that there's no section where we can help each other breaking the language barrier. Questions and answers in both languages..!!!

I´m for sure that we have a lot of spare parts that sometimes are hard to find and they are just hanging around on our storage area. Let´s see what we need and who have it locally.

Special tools for share nearby. Some of us are weekend mechanics.

Get together for a beer and tapa´s, why not. :chat:

So, let´s see what we have or need from each other just to have our British cars running as new.

Kind regards

Joel Antonio

There is a Rover 75 in a scrap yard at El Campello, if anyone needs any bits give me a shout.

Hello Cantabrian:

Good morning, finally someone from the northern kingdom, thank you very much for joining the thread. I have become a lover of the Rover 75 currently I have 3 and I will buy the room although I will sell one of them for being manual gearboxes.

Best regards

Buenas caballero, yo tengo un, desde Octubre del 2004 comprado nuevo y aunque le salen algunas cosillas va muy bien, eso si con sus 214.000m ya tiene sobre sus espaldas dos cambios de embrague,,,¿ por que no lo pedi automatico?:shrug:


English translation:

Good gentleman, I have one, since October 2004 bought new and although some things come out it goes very well, that if with its 214,000m already has on its back two clutch changes ,,, why didn't I ask for it automatically? :shrug:

Hola Cántabro:

Yo estoy vendiéndo uno con la caja de cambios manual:driving:. Más que nada porque me voy a comprar otro que es automático tambíen:drool4:. Todos los que tengo son de segunda mano, no tuve la oportunidad de comprar uno nuevo... llegué tarde a la fiesta (2007). Eso sí van de maravilla, las cositas que les sale las voy arreglando yo mismo, me gusta la mecánica de fin de semana.

Saludos cordiales Joel Antonio.

English Translation:

Hello Cantabrian:

I am selling one with the manual gearbox :driving: . More than anything because I'm going to buy another one that is automatic too :drool4: . All I have are second-hand, I didn't have the opportunity to buy a new one ... I was late for the party (2007). Of course they are going great, the little things that come out I fix them myself, I like the mechanics of the weekend.

Best regards Joel Antonio.

Hi Ted:

Well for 45 and/or 25's I can't tell you much about it. I have one 75 for sale 2.5 ltrs. Around my town there's one 45 but isn't for sale
Did you try by Milanuncios and Vibbo. Anyway let's see if another member come up with something like what you're looking for.

Cheers!!!

Hello everyone, by all means chat to each other in Spanish, but please can you also translate your posts into English so that the majority of the club members can understand and possibly contribute. :}

Many thanks.

Hi Paul:

You´re right about it, so from now on will be doing our chat in both languages. I also encourage our locals' member to do the same, If not I´ll be doing the translation for the benefit and contribution of everyone in the club.

Hola desde Galicia

Hola Galicia:

Bienvenido a hilo de los que residimos en la peninsula ibérica.

Welcome to the post of all of us that are living in the Iberian peninsula...!!!!

Kind regards from Segovia province.

Hola!
 

We have travelled around Spain fairly often over the past 5 years (motorhome, not the Rover 75) and see the occasional 75 or MG.
I've noticed a few where the paint has been damaged by what must be the strong sunshine. Usually the darker colours. A problem we don't have as much in the UK!

Blackrose .... Having stayed at Camping El Jardin a few times (just north of Alicante, just south of El Campello) I should pop into the scrapyard you mention for a quick look!
Regards
John

.................................................. ..

Hemos viajado por España con bastante frecuencia en los últimos 5 años (autocaravana, no la Rover 75) y vemos ocasionalmente 75 o MG.
He notado algunos donde la pintura ha sido dañada por lo que debe ser el fuerte sol. Por lo general, los colores más oscuros. ¡Un problema que no tenemos tanto en el Reino Unido!

Blackrose ... Después de haberme alojado en el Camping El Jardín varias veces (justo al norte de Alicante, al sur de El Campello), ¡debería ir al depósito de chatarra que mencionas para echar un vistazo!
Saludos
Juan

Hi John:

Please to hear about you running around into our "backyard":D.

Yes, sunshine kills darker colors on our Rover´s, but I might say that there few reasons why for example, some owners have to left their car on the street because they don´t have a garage, also no paint care ej. regular wash & polish.

That´s on one side, others including my self have the benefit of a garage and like to have our babies in top-notch condition including the paint.:eek:

About scrap yards, there are several around Spain, but not all they have Rover 75´s. There´s one in Madrid the biggest in Spain, where you can find almost every bit that you´re looking for, but it´s very expensive, I rather buy it new from UK known suppliers. ;)

Cheers...!!!!

Grout, I think it's gone to the crusher. I'll check in 3 weeks when I'm back.


Blackrose

John, if you are ever down this way in the motorhome again feel free to drop in and stay for a few days, we have space, and a pool :drool4:

Busco a Cantabro 75
 

Hola Alberto:

Me interesa hablar contigo, te he enviado varios correos sin suerte.

Cuando puedas me respondes.

Saludos cordiales.

Joel Antonio.

I have read in the news lately that quite a few ex-patriots in Spain are going to lose their houses.
That's terrible news for folk that have been living in Spain for quite a good few years now and have nothing to go back to in GB.---:eek::eek::eek:

T4 or TOAF equipment in Spain
 

I am in Mojacar and wondered if there is anyone near who has either of these as I need to have a check as I have the dreaded water leak from the sunroof drains and now the airbag light stays on and I need to know if it is the side impact sensors that are the fault as these are very expensive to replace and hard to obtain for my early version.

All advice welcomed

Help Request
 

Hi James:
:smilie_re:
I have a Toaf which I use for my two Rover 75's. However, I have checked and there are nearly 400 miles between you and me as I live in Segovia.
:smilie_re:
For your draining problem, I have a Rover with a sunroof and I could help you to unclog them.
For the Airbag Light, in most cases the problem is corrected by disconnecting, cleaning, and reconnecting the plug under the front seats. You would have to test which side is generating the signal.
The side impacts. How do you come to the conclusion that you have problems with these? If any are to be located it would be at a junkyard.
Let me know if I can help you.
Kind regards.
Joel Antonio.

Hi Joel,
Glad to know you have a TOAF, just a wee bit too far to travel lol.
I have repaired all the sunroof drain problems, 2 pipes just touching and 2 completly loose, amazing, so the now repaired.
The airbag problem is still there after a garage in Alicante soldered the wires together on the passenger side. I just felt that by checking with a TOAF check this would eliminate the side impact sensors being faulty! Yes, they are hard to obtain and I was quoted £187.00 each by DMGRS in England before I came out here just in case I needed them.

Thank you for your reply and offer of help, much appreciated. Many thanks Jim

New Rover 75 owner
 

Hi everyone,

I’m a recent happy owner of a 2nd hand Rover 75 Classic 2.0 V6 petrol (Club version in UK) with 87.000km.
Actually it is in the garage to fix some bugs and to add some accessories if they are available in the sales market (I cross my fingers).

Please, has any the torque curves of the 2.0 V6 engine? Or could address to me where to find them?. Does anyone one knows if this engine is Rover made or Honda made?

Thank you

Hola a todos:

Soy un reciente y feliz propietario de un Rover de segunda mano 2.0 V6 gasolina versión Classic (Club en Reino Unido) con 87.000km.

Actualmente está en el taller para arreglar algunas cosillas y añadir algunos opcionales si estuviesen disponibles para la venta.

Por favor, alguien tiene las curvas de Par-potencia de este motor? O sabría indicarme dónde conseguirla? Por curiosidad, sabría decifme alguno si este motor es Rover u Honda?
Gracias
