My 2002 Rover 75 Connoisseur 2.0 CDti

Hi All,

I thought I'd share a few pics of my pride and joy - I picked it up a few years back for around £700, it has been a bit of a money pit, but I love driving it and it is so comfortable.

I have replaced the battery, alternator, all the headlights bulbs, changed the key fob, handbrake, checked plenums and so on.

I spent the last 3 days getting it nice and clean, so thought I'd share some snaps.

Thank you, yes still got the radiator to sort as well as the Thermostat, then Id like to recreate the 'Bentley grille'

Very nice. Black as well.

Looks lovely. Pay £700 and put a few quid into it, still end up with a lovely car for 'not a lot of bucks', as they say.

Exactly that, I always wanted a black one as well. It drives better than some of the newer cars I've driven. Will have an update at the end of the week thanks to si-monogram 👍
