Can anyone confirm if rovers (particularly t16 turbos) are fully compliant with OBD2? - I think I read somewhere that only in the US was it mandatory for OBD2 to be fitted after 1996â€¦ In Europe it wasn't mandatory until 2000. (I think - can't find the link at the mo)

97p ti..... had a k plate vit before and the ti is so much better!!!

andrew

Apparently (for the coupe)

0-60mph 6.20s
0-100km/h 7.10s

Whats that all about!!!

Andrew

andrew

Thanks for all the ideas (and pictures

). Putting it in the air vent seems like a good idea, but I still think a pillar mount one would be better. But if nobody sells a ready made pillar with mount I'm gonna have to forget about it.

Rob The boost gauge does look neat in the cigarette lighter but I found it a bit scary to be foot to the floor on full boost and having to look down to see what the gauge was reading Yep will second that, the one on the Vit is where the clock usually lives down by the gearstick, pain to look at whi...

u could pay up to Â£4500 for the ti depending on where u go and if its a dealer or not. as for the vitty, i dont know the car but if its in good condition i might give u Â£750-850 for it. my opinion anyway... check on autotrader for whats available for what prices. As much as thatâ€¦ well my aim is...

Get out of the way, safer for all concerned.

Thought they were a good idea but was badly made. There are just too many bits that are total bo||ox which sorta spoils it.

Like at the beginning when he tops out at 140 after about 13 gear changes or somat

Anyone know if there is a British Std, to how many more miles you can do once the light is on.

I can understand that there would be a Std, ...

Thanks for all the replies guys If I run it at a slight decline to where the waste from the sink and washer goes through the wall to the outside it will end up below it.

I carry a 600mm breaker bar in my boot mainly because the rover wheel brace is rubbish and the cross type one wonâ€™t fit properly, However, if some chav created a road block and started threatening me or somat I doubt Iâ€™d bother getting it out of the boot, cause lets face it, if it turns really n...
