I've got to a point that the hassle of old and classic cars has been a nuisance that has outweighed the joys of ownership. My past Rovers were a disaster really, but this one really promised. Top spec and one obsessed owner, meant this 2001 was in very good condition. Despite that, 8 months later it...

I ordered a steering pump from our friends at Rimmer Bros. The first one had a leak (not just 'sweating'), and the second one arrived in a worse condition. So, they fitted the first one. Other non-OE options were very expensive. I reckon that these 'new' replacements had been sitting on a shelf for ...

The 45 V6 was only available as an auto. I am not aware that a KV6 was ever mated to a PG1 gearbox? The 75 used a Getrag gearbox which is nothing like as slick to use as a PG1 but at least it doesn't whine like a PG1 when it has done high mileages.

Can you help with the questions?
Is it the right part?
Thanks

You guys are amazing. Once again, a correct diagnosis. I need a steering pump and 'kit' I suppose. It's the 2001 Rover 45 V6. I've been looking on internet and think I've found the part. I'd really appreciate some help in choosing the right part. Is this correct? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ROVER-45-...

Auxiliary drive belt? Power steering pump? The sound is definitely coming from the engine and may also sound like a vacuum cleaner or something squeaking. Not good anyway. Got an appointment for a mechanic to take a look at it tomorrow. BUT, will I need a garage with an engine fault reader to be ab...
