Re: Rover 416 abs automatic hatchback model parts

If your not doing it yourself why dont you take the car to a garage who will do the job and order the part . Yeah - some garages haven't got a clue. The best ones have a core set of suppliers and they literally just pick up the phone and the person at the other end tells them yes or no. Those are t...

Re: AIR FILTER UPGRADE

Google "K&N 33-2647" to find the best price - but K&N's own price (link above) at a shade over £40 seems reasonable. You could also try Demon Tweeks, it's where I got a K&N filter for mine. They have it in stock and listed at £40.79 inc VAT, so a similar price to that quoted b...

Re: Rover 416 abs automatic hatchback model parts

EBay items or any other supplier alone is no good because the same would happen like today. Supplier says this is the part and for the mechanic to check the old one has be remove...
