    I know the owner of #595 claimed the system was "all wrong" (probably because he was looking for / been sold a MG ZT260 mixer valve, not the different R75V8 one, at a tad under £600 quid). He had quite a lot of leeway to invest some money on top of the 'hammer-price' at last year's auction though. All Rovers including the V8 should have the thumbwheel of course, unlike the ZT 260, but that special L/R mixer 4-pipe-valve. None should have a bodge constructed from R45 valves!

    Rover mixer valve, 1 actuator motor, 2 valves, "iffy"nylon tracked actuator-peg (LHD version).

    All the part numbers of the valves etc are here, but drop me a line by PM if you need any info, which may well not be visible to you, so long as you promise to join as a full member when you get a car !!

    That's interesting.

    The platinum 75 I went to look at in Buckinghamshire had the V8 badge, not the thumbwheel.

    Therefore I'd just believed (wrongly) they were the same as the ZT 260's.

    Now I think of it, the one near me has a thumbwheel too!!

    He told me that it had two valves and they only found replacements by taking the part numbers off the old ones, which were the same as the ones on the R45 V6!

    So I was right when I though he didn't really know anything. He did seem to be "full of it" so to speak.

    10k was a laugh.... 8k is still a chuckle. Basically he bought at auction and lost. (Doubt he will accept that, though).

    You never know, if he'll let it go cheap enough I may "rescue" it....

    And, yes I'll definitely be a full member - probably before I make the actual purchase!

    Ben, I don't have a spare surround but I do have three OEM premium bumpers complete with chrome surround. To be honest I don't really need three, one is for my Rover 75 CDTi, one would be a just in case spare and the third I could be tempted to sell if it helped you secure the car you want. Let me know if you are interested Regards John
