A thankyou to all the Guru's out there

Well after owning 3 rover 75's over the past while , and travelling @180kmiles of joyfull motoring between them, is time for me to sign off from Rover ownership. The cars before the 75's , were an 800 sterling, and a 214.
So as a marque it has been in my blood for ever.

Change of position , means a newer car is required , so I am picking up a Volvo S80 this Wednesday. Only car I test drove that actually felt comfortable like my rovers. So it will be goodbye to NX02 later this week

Many thanks to all the chaps for the advice and help in this forum

on plenums, EGR,PCV, opening bonnet with a snapped cable, too name just a few things I have learned and tackled

Keep up the good work gents

I had an S80 as a hire car when visiting the UK in July... Really impressed with it and seriously considered it as a contender replacement later this year (but for the outrageous taxes on new vehicles here in Portugal that make it in excess of 35,000E on the road!!!

).
