Re: Rover 200 R3 Aerial Water Leak

I've not experienced it on an R3, but it was a common customer complaint on the Citroen C1 when I was at a Citroen dealership. Ensuring the seal hadn't been flattened/crushed, plus renewing it together with a bead of sealant and ensuring the surrounding bodywork was clean & dry before fitting up...

Re: Headliner - Replacing scrimfoam but retaining material

Thanks Iain. Would that be for them to do the job or for them to supply the material? They’d obviously prefer to do the job as the labour element is where the money is (understandably). Allon White will probably be a lower cost than DTT. Material can be sourced from Martrim, if you wanted to just g...

Re: Headliner - Replacing scrimfoam but retaining material

Re: Which things will kill our cars? Common faults?

Rover R8 D16 Alternator YLE 101730 [E] Finding these new is proving difficult with neither MGLRS or RIMMERS holding stock and EBAY factors supplying the wrong part.

Re: NEC Resto Show 2026

Sunday is fine for me. If a +1 ticket is available it would be grand, but I ask in hope rather than expectation.
