Since i had a spare Zed which i stripped for parts, i went and got a really really cheap r25, downside - front damage half repaired and thought this will be a good experience for me as iv always wanted to learn abit about cars, and know the basics of a rover car and the k series engine.
the previous owner had this car standing for months and months so it wasnt really in the best running condition had little niggles like washer bottle cracked, car running lumpy due to crap plugs, oil sensor missing etc. after £50 on plugs/oil/coolant etc she was purring like a kitten!
i thought id buy this as i dont see many MG Rovers kitted in a 4 door version bar sammys . and + the excellent price i got it at!
all my progress has been recorded in my blog spot.
