Angry Rover 75 Cdt 1999 For Sale

Hi, it pains me to do this but im having to sell my rover 75 cdt, its not running at the mo due to a wiring fault that i can't fix and can't afford to take it to another
garage !!! this car had this problem with the last owner and he had a new ECU fitted 2 months before i bought it last summer, it went great for me for 5 months with know problems till late november it just would not start ? i put new cam and crank sensors on it and checked the fuel pumps, ive had it at 2 garages and they both said it is a wiring fault but they wouldn't fix it ?? they said the ECU is ok. its in good condition for a 1999 and the engine is exellent with only 117.000 miles on it. i paid £2600 for it but im open to good offers !!! you can PM me thanks. Tony.

Hi, thats a good question !! i paid £2.500 for it last summer, i would like somewhere around £1.600, i think someone who's good with electrics would probably sort it ?

Well don't give it away.

A pity you can't bring it down here if it is a wiring fault it should be easy to fix.

Garages hate this kind of fault as their hourly rates make lengthy fault finding prohibitively expensive.

I wonder if he could get AA or RAC to recover it to your "garage" Keith?
