- Rover 75 Goes for a Service & a BIG LIST of REPAIRS
In this video we head to MG Rover Mobile Mechanics (MG Rover Specialists) in Derby with a big list of jobs. With a full service and many, many items completed we then head back to collect my Rover 75 (R40) Connoisseur 1.8 Petrol named “Reggie.”

Hello , a mesage from the Netherlands .
I bought my 75 1.8 Connoseur 5 years ago .
I imediatly had the headgasket changed by the multi layer steel one .
Later the Jatco was overholed with solenoids .
Radiator , hoses and thermostat are done .
Two new frontdiscs .
Car has done 223000 km now and runs like a dream !
Rocksolid and rustfree with a spotless interior .
YES , it was not cheap all these repairs ,
butt DAMN , THIS BABY'S WORTH IT !
My Dutch specialist is Damen & Kroes in Boxtel .
They know Rovers from 1921 of to now , great firm .
That’s fantastic.
I agree it is definitely worth the money.
People that own and drive them understand just how quiet and smooth they are.
That is good number of kilometres.
Having a great specialist helps a lot.
Thanks for watching and your comment.
Good to see underside is now sorted 🎉
Yes it was in really solid condition so it felt right to do it.
Great video .That's a excellent garage Dave did the timing belts for my 75 18 months ago, top bloke knew his job
Thanks. Yes I am happy with MG-Rover Specialists. Hope everything has afforded my 75 many more years of life. Thanks for watching and your comment.
What a gorgeous car! They're selling one here in BsAs that it's prisitine and looks fantastic, although they are asking for 6000 usd. which seems a little too much (it's the V6 2,0 Club). 2001, 125.000 kms, first owner. I'm so tempted but no sure how diffciult would be to maintain ....
Thanks. I agree it’s best to find who is going to look after a car before you buy it.

Great video, great buy too by the looks of it, well worth the maintenance costs.
Thanks. I hope so. 21 years old, 3 owners (before me) and no welding anywhere. Feel almost responsible for taking care of my 75. Thanks for watching and your support.
Looking really sweet and yes the most important things on a car are brakes n tyres 👍
Thanks. Yes new brakes and tyres. New lots of items but worth it. Thanks for watching.
Just had all my discs and pads done, need to get mine undersealed though, looking great!
Thanks Tom! Yes very happy with Reggie and looking forward to getting to some shows.
I had a 2004 Mk1 and the rear passenger jacking point was rotten as a pear, suppose at the time Rover were looking to save a few pennies so they probably didn't bother with slick of primer or seal underneath.
Yes unfortunately there are a few rotten examples out there. As you say, cost cutting doubtless the cause. Hopefully, now this has been checked and waxoyed, it will last for years.
Reggie is Welsh ! (shown by "EJ" at end of registration
Correct. Aberystwyth. Still had the original dealer plate on the back. Now kept safe as the new replica plates have been fitted.
Nice Video. The way you maintain your cars is well worth the investment. Looked a great walk & bus ride
Thanks. Hope so. Looked a solid car so felt almost responsible to do right and get the 75 to a level that will hopefully keep him on the road for many years. Thanks for watching.
@@LivetoDriveUK I have done the same with my 2 old cars, one owned 32 years & the other 8 years, and still on the road
@@badbooks476 that’s awesome. You know, most of my life, I have purchased a car, loved it and sold it a year later. I personally know Petrolheads that have had more than 100 cars; I think I’m on 38, but having one a year has made it easy to remember key moments in life. It is a little bit like rings on a tree. But I am finally at a point where I don’t want to sell one and my small collection of older cars mean so much more to me than the modern Clio RS I own. If I had to put an order to which car I would have to sell first; it would be the RS. So now, like many, budget and space are the deciding factors. Will be filming a “my previous cars” video soon. I am sure many will not understand them but for me… every one of them brought something to me.
@@LivetoDriveUK That amount of cars will make an amazing previous cars video will be interesti. Same as me about the key moments in life & cars, winds my wife up though. I have only owned 6 cars ( including the 2 I still own) but I have had 11 company cars, boring diesel estates, over 25 years been a sales rep.

Good Day Paul, did you mange to acquire a new engine under tray or at least a new surplus part? Cheers from Hamburg
Hi. No, currently have not purchased an under tray but intend to get this done soon. I have heard that the new “copy parts” for sale on eBay are not that good.
The 1.8s never had an undertray, the 1.8T had a (literally) cut-down short one to about 18” behind the bumper. I bought one from the old Widnes specialists a few year ago but haven’t fitted it yet.
