Are you in need of some bits @packard

@dave21478 LOL - you rough arse!!! - :-D I actually need to get the car on a trailer to get it to the weigh bridge afterwards... so the wheels will need to be held on some how.. yes.. i can take the bumper off and rad pack... but as you are aware - by following my posts.. I will need to keep as...

Hi Guys (and GIrls) I've just taken delivery of a Rover CDTi 2.0 M47 Engined Rover Tourer. The engine purrs like a kitten and is attached to an auto box. Question.. Anyone taken one of these out of a 75 before? if so.... whats the quickest way to do it? also. Is there anything anyone would like...

found a pair for a tenner! - i bet the fasteners don't come off cleanly

I know it's 18months after the last post to this thrread, but I'm doing the same job.. is it simply a case of prising the old unit out and pushing the new unit back in? - I have the new bearing kit too. do i need to lube the rubber seal on the new IRD Cooler then push in like a paint can lid???

@B34R - It is a late 53 plate - literally (according to LR) one of the very last "pre-facelift" models. I'm going to leave the plastics off.... with the amount of work I'm doing it will be better. New engine going in this weekend - but new IRD Cooler being fitted too. Thanks for the Link.... it...

@B34R can I ask where you got the diagram from? I've been looking for an electronic parts manual for ages without much luck.

Yeah... I know they shouldnt have been separated...... yet another fracking thing to sort out.. I guess I will leave them off, unless i go to a breakers yard an "borrow" a pair! - yes.. the worse oil change ever - although the 59 plate RR Sport isn't fun to do either!

sounds like diff mounting bushes - check the rear centre/front one for excess movement - should be no more than 5mm - preferably much less.

Yes... I'm asking for P/N's again. Anyone any idea where I can get a good pair of these? it's the little plastic bit that fastens from the bumper to the alloy sump guard... as pictured. I also need the clips / fasteners for them too. Please - No Trolls as I find their unhelpful messages worthy...

in addition to checking for movement on your front wishbone rear bush, check your suspension legs thoroughly. check the top and bottom coil on each spring - make sure the end of the spring is "cut straight" and not broken off. also.... when driving - when it is safe to - see what happens when...

If you have the facilities, I highly recommend dropping the engine and box (including the IRD). When I took my lump out. It gave me easy access to replace additional items such as brake lines etc.

Good question...... don't forget the outer CV joint and associated hub nut hold the wheel bearing in place and together. Personally speaking.... I wouldn't move the car more than half a revolution of a wheel without the driveshafts in. But...... The wheel bearing could still collapse... My...

@B34R Agree completely with you.. ironically.... both brand names I wanted to mention, but didn't feel confident in sharing. they may as well make their replacement parts out of modelling clay.

I know I'm going to be shot down in flames... but.... eBay items - especially the cheap ones are only any good to get the car through an MOT ready to sell on. i've bought loads of cheap NEW eBay parts for many different types of car, but the general rule of thumb is - "if you get 10 to 12 months...

Ensure you fit the right ARB Drop Links when you replace them. 143mm = to VIN YA999999 158mm = VIN 1A000001 on Maybe as some point someone fitted an incorrect pair causing damage to the ARB,,.. or even worse... maybe it's been in a bump???

Saw this historic thread which may be useful.. I have the same question really.... I have now bought a Rover 75 with a BMW TD4 engine... would love to know if I could sell the auto box to a friend whose auto has gone pop.... (yes... fluid and filters changed - it loses drive after 2 mins of...

@B34R - My Original Injectors are good.... I just have crankshaft float - hence the engine purchase. Shame I can't use the turbo cartridge from the 75 for my Hippo :-( or can I? What give the 75 more poke?? is it the injectors (calibrated by the ECU) - the turbo, or both? I would love the try...

just found this thread:- https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/rover-75-bmw-engine-to-freelander-1-td4.271491/

Guys, I'm buying a low mileage td4 engine from a Rover CDTI 2002 Auto. Other than stripping off the torque converter etc. to fit my dual mass flywheel. are there any other gotchas to be aware of? I know my turbo has to be swapped over... but is there anything else? I'm taking the full lump...
