2004 Rover 75 V8 Contemporary Se Auto

[Herman]

Thank you all for the warm welcome and advice
I did check the output and it is reading nearly 14.5v so it must be ok - I'll stop worrying now I know others do it! Oh and is an idle of around 400rpm when in drive and 500rpm when in neutral the norm?
I must say it is great to find such a genuine and helpful group of people

Welcome to the collective. If you fill in the registration form, send back to Tim and become 'green' a world of info opens.

As for the idle, not to sure about the auto-versions but mine idles around 600rpm on the dial. As long as it idles smooth..............

Yep can chuck a stone at Shepperton . Welcome along Derek. Peter Wayte is your man for anything V8'ness. His number is 07886 909695, looks after my cars along with other V8's here. Get your form in for greeness.

Tim - thanks for the contact much appreciated

Andy G - I have just sent back in my questionnaire to become green. I didn't go to the media day last year but I was at Brands (and all the other BTCC meets apart from Rockingham) .... You can see me talking to one of the MG employees (I think it was Adam?) on your first photo on your Brands thread! I can add some of my photos to your thread if you want over the next few days? It's a small world!

Hi all
I'm now the proud owner of this lovely car! I brought it from Elite yesterday and I only stopped driving it when I ran out of petrol... I must say this car is rather infectious.

The is one niggly little problem - the battery light flashes up whilst driving. I'm going to put a multi meter across the alternator this morning as I'm pretty sure that is what is at fault but as it was sold with a good warranty I know it will be fixed fine. Next question can anyone recommend a good MG/Rover specialist in the Shepperton area?

Hi and welcome -m great car

Derek

Glad the car went to a good home and you are lovng it, i could tell from your smile after testdrive ! you have got one great car there. i was tempted to keep the car as the colour and interior combination is just stunning, and the previous owners have cherished it

Enjoy

The flashing light isn't a fault, just a quirk with the FORD and MG ecus talking to each other !

Glad to hear that my old car has found another owner, enjoy.

Why Cedric bought it off me I've no idea seeing he only had 5 months. I'm hoping you've received all the history i'd passed over to him including the copy of Enjoying MG and the 2011 75 and ZT Owners Club calendar that both featured the car.

The car had a new steering wheel, it's third, less than a year ago as the black oak wheels tend to fade to green. I'd kept it covered whilst the car was not in use and advised him to do the same.

I'd upgraded all the oem hiline to BMW widescreen etc. I'd planned as the next upgrade fitting a bluetooth Grom to replace the CD changer and a reversing camera - there are pinouts available for this but I just can't lay my hands on the information atm.

Anything I can help you with about anything in particular just drop me a pm
