Hi all and thanks for welcoming me in your forum
My name's Gianluca, I'm 36 and I live in Rome.

My father bought a so beautiful Rover 75 TD2.0 back in 2001 but I never care of "her" along all this time because I like cars but I'm really negligent in interest and maintenance...

Now my father unluckily is getting older and he can't drive no more, so for him I've taken care of his 75, so abandoned in these last years and I'm trying, for what is in my capabilities (i'm totally out of manual work), to setup all things so badly left unsolved.

Your forum is AWESOME and thanks to all your posts/guide/information I fixed up a lot of things, in particular mounting a new MAF and MAFAM because my Rover was totally out of power under 2000rpm... we thought of trash it a pair of years ago... -__-

Now it flies!
Then I repaired the passenger cup holder and I'm fixing (in these hours) the windscreen assembly chrome finishers that became very loose 4/5 years ago and my father fixed them with...adesive scotch, leaving horrible traces along the body and windscreen

Unfortunately most of the clips and expecially some ..uhmmm... (I don't know how to say it) clips on the chrome splint are broken and I don't want to buy them new (I saw them at 80€ each) so I'm trying to fix them with a little of silicon... Tomorrow I'll let you know if worked!

Then I discovered that argument of the plenum chamber, pollen filter...things never done in 10 years! So I'll take care of them

REALLY THANKS 'cause you gave me the will to take care of my father's car, it would be a pity 'cause she has only 80.000 km and it's always stuck closed in garage..

Ehm...I always exaggerate with words, sorry I'm Italian

have all a good day and sorry for my "maccheronic" english

Gianluca
