Hi i have a 03 Rover 75 1.8 club se (non turbo) saloon, i have done a few jobs to it including the radiator fan motor, strut top mount bearing it will possibly need a new top bearing on passenger side strut as this makes a clunking noise on full lock when turning slowly i.e. doing car park manouvers. other problem i have is rear discs having rust on them even when the car is being run i have put this down to crap quality discs and pads as i fitted them, handbrake needs the modified bracket apart from isual tyres and stuff i like it even though its a bit underpowered

hi mate thanks for comment yes they are underrated cars lovely cars to drive i like the exterior styling and interior styling and im 24 lol even so you can pick these up for mondeo and vectra money now.
only worry i have since it being a 1.8 with 93000 miles on is the Headgasket being done as i had no receipts for it being done when i bought the car in march it doesnt reallymatter anyway tbh as i have changed one on a 200 1.4 before and had experience watching someone who did these alot.

Nice Rover, but I am biased as run 3 of these in our family and an other SD1.
Everybody thinks you are a rich git as more than one 75, luxury car....., as you said they cost peanuts, a bit more on the continent but still 50% cheaper then midrange cars of the same age. Paid for all three together about 9000 Euro. People don't dare, these are good quality cars and all issues are known and can be addressed. Often people think it is Jag: I reply thank you for the compliment but it is a genuine Rover. And they can't believe the 75s are over 10 years old as they look as good as new with all way over 200.000km on the clock!
Based on the things you have done or plan to do, must have found 75-specific forums, myself a member of www.the75andztclub.co.uk were you can find all the information or get assistance on things you want/need to know.
Enjoy the smooth and silent drive,
