New owner and im going to try to save this barn find from the scrap yard!!

[LewisP]

Hi all,

New to the forums, i recently adopted a barn find maestro! I was looking for a project to help with my mental health and she came up at just the right time and the right location. Shes a bit dirty and has some issues but she runs pretty well (even on 12+ year old petrol) and drove...

Curious about the subtle changes made to the O series engine. I believe the very early ones were stamped 20HA. Old style rocker, alternator at the back and oil filter at the front.

Mine was built late 1985 and has the old style rocker but the alternator at the front and oil filter below....

I take it we're all old enough here to remember the lager advert (though I can't recall the brand, the power of advertising??!?)

Anyway, having just bought a Rover 416, I initially tried contacting, and then doing an application for, the Rover 200 & 400 Owners' Club. No response...

After a very hectic week, including a debit card fraud (), and with my 'new' 416 reminding me of a certain Rover advertising slogan, I took my wife to work in the Montego this morning -
"Relax, it's a MONTEGO!" I thought - Yes, the 416 is an amazingly comfortable, relaxing...

This eBay item number: 267828333394 must be a rare beast now in estate form if the badges on the tailgate are anything to go by? Shame to see it in so much distress. Open Ebay and put the number in the "search" box

Hi,

Just a little heads up on a mini-project this end - Noting for sale or wanted! - I'm trying to create a replacement rear shock upper mounting (vibration insulator), as close to original spec as possible. I've just got my first prototype from the supplier, fits perfectly, it's mixed-cell...

I bought some electrical contact cleaner today having previously just had straight WD40 and Silicon lubricant.
A read of the guidelines on the tin said 'disconnect all power". Surely not the battery I thought? A quick google and "Arse Intelligence" told me yes. Surely not when...

Getting sick & tired of my MG6's engine warning light melody, limp home and beeps, I've bought Morris a new brother - JUST arrived from Belfast, a mint 24k miles, 1996, Rover 416 SLi auto

Not quite the right website I know, but couldn't resist....


The 6.... still...

I can't remember but if I'm right, there is no sound insulation on the front floor panels? There is on the rear ones (see picture). What could one do to add some, bearing in mind the carpet would still have to fit back properly. Cheers Chris................

Hi all does anyone have a set of sills for maestro saloon, rh rear quarter or repair panel and a boot lid.

[Morris Montego]

A few weeks ago, I joined the local "Wirral Classic Car Club" for the nominal sum of £12 per annum.
Last night my wife and I attended their monthly meet. Dave was hoping for a generally pleasant, social night, the advertised buffet AND lots of opportunity to talk Montego. Was I disappointed!...

[grogee]

Hi all, has anyone got part number info for O-series bearing shells and piston rings? I'd like to rebuild an engine I've obtained. If it makes any difference, it's the earlier EFI without the ribbed cam cover. Although I'd think/hope this and the later type are the same inside the block. (I'm OK for...

Hi - does anybody have a hatchback towbar lurking unused and willing to sell ? Thanks...
