The plastic holder is there to help centralise and hold in the cotton reel in the body, i would imagine once the O-ring is in place and the reel pushed over it that should hold it in place, and you could carefully lower it on to the pin in the housing. 1 2 3 I too have removed some PCV filters and the plastic holder as been missing, which i have replaced because i had one spare.

Again yesterday
Changed the Driver's side headlight bulb in the middle of the Asda Petrol Station last night and again was surprised at how easy it was to do. Davy |

Bought Wipers for mine, hard to believe, but I had to buy two single wipers, no one done a box with driver and passenger wipers in them unless I went Halfords Budget!
Hey Ho at least it will improve the wipers already on the 75! Davy |

Rain x
Washed it after the last week of dirty weather and rain X the windows inside and out, also silicone all the door seals which helps in the winter to stop the doors from sticking.

Thanks Steve, I'm ok, biscuit consumption is getting back to normal! I'm living on coffee at the moment, the cars always need a bit of attention, good old goldie just keeps plodding on, it's nice to have a good old reliable motor when ya need it.

Clutch Master cylinder
Actually Thursday, not today but have successfully swapped out the old one for one of DMGRS's "left hand drive" ones where you use your existing pipework.
https://www.dmgrs.co.uk/products/gen...e47c0ba9&_ss=r Symptoms were my clutch bite point was getting steadily nearer the floor and it felt difficult to change gear. I was praying that it was the master, not the slave. First off the plastic collar that splits the quick release under the battery was missing . Turns out that there's a "spare" plastic collar on the one from DMGRS so I successfully used that . Decided to remove the clutch pedal to get better access and sight. Fortunately that comes off easily and quickly. A couple of clips, pop off the master shaft and she slides off and out. Just beware the spring. The master is in a stupid place but it's not actually difficult as such. Just time consuming and awkward. I sucked out the fluid with a syringe as I didn't fancy it all over the carpets and it wasn't pretty. A sort of grey/black colour. Nothing like the clear, new fluid. The two little (8mm head) bolts holding the master in place are a bit of a faff but OK with some patience and a short 8mm socket. Pulling some hydraulic pipe through the bulkhead was fun. But worth it in the end for ease of access to get the split pin and roll pin out. The new master slotted straight in and was soon ready for bleeding. Using a Gunson's Easybleed I flushed about 300-400 ml of fresh fluid through the new master & pipework then connected up the slave and flushed a further 300-400ml through the whole lot. It's really to do easy with pressured bleeding. The last thing I want is any muck/debris from the old master/pipework to end up in the slave. The Easybleed runs at 20psi max. so remember to pump up your spare tyre if that's what you used. https://www.screwfix.com/p/gunson-br...questid=282517 And the result, a whole different biting point. Gear changing is now lovely and it's the best clutch feeling I've had on any of the Rover's I've owned As an aside I seem to have cured an intermittent cruise fault where it would disconnect completely when, say, coming off a motorway, onto a roundabout. I'd initially put it down to the brake switch but having to reset the clutch switch appears to have cured it. Fingers crossed. Thanks for all the help, particularly from DMGRS for getting the unit to me pronto, Colvert & Mike Noc for suggestions about the missing plastic collar and, of course, all the threads and numerous hints and tips on the forum. Cheers. Last edited by AndyN01; 18th December 2021 at 14:14.. |

Today I fitted my 16" Union Alloy wheels, sourced from a fellow forum member last weekend. I much prefer the look of them anyway but the proof of the pudding is in the eating and a drive down the very bumpy farm track showed a huge improvement in ride quality over the 17" Star Spoke alloys and low profile tyres which were fitted.
I've had the car nearly nine years and have been meaning to do this since the day I bought it. Another forum member has a single Union Alloy wheel for sale, possibly two, and I intend to grab this/them to replace the space saver spare once Christmas is out of the way. I started cleaning up the Star Spoke alloys, will do some more tomorrow, and then I'll be selling these, either on here or ebay, more because I need the space than the money. |
