16 February Brian Hatton Cars: 3.9V8 auto (ZF4speed) LandRover 110 motorsport recovery vehicle (mildly tuned engine running on lpg, with modified 4CU EFI system). Rover 214Si with LPG conversion. |
How about some tech. info on the 14CUX system? or did I miss it? Reaction: No you didn't miss it, it's not there (yet), however the SD1 just uses the old system. |
|
16 February Super Wellie Car: Een super Berlingo van 0 tot 100 in 5,9 sec |
Ga zo door, doe eens wat over de Porsche 911, geintje Reaction: 0-100 in 5,9 sec?? niet in de plaats van de komma vergist hoop ik?? 59 sec. lijkt me namelijk iets waarschijnlijker En een vergelijking van de SD1 met andere auto's zit in de koker, maar vergeleken met een 911? Een SD1 heeft geen zandzak voorin nodig voor een goede wegligging, he he, ook een geintje. |

15 February TinyBloke Car:Subaru Legacy Turbo, XR4x4 Modified for track. URL: http://www.xr4x4.co.uk |
Your pages are VERY long, but content is superb. You've really got an international
flavour to some good old British muscle!! I share an XR4x4 track-car (see link)
with some friends and the next mod we're thinking of is the installation of a
Rover V8 - any advice gratefully received! Keep up the good work!
Reaction: Indeed, the pages can be very long sometimes, but for us it makes it a bit easier to maintain and update them. And as long they load within a reasonable time.... |

11 February Rupert Kent Car:Volkswagen Golf Mk3 GTI 8v |
Loved the Nurburgring Oltimers pics from 2000. I was there too with my father who raced
in the Thorougbred GP race in the Shadow DN-9
(http://www.shadowpromotions.co.uk )
Hope to be there this year too. I love the SD1's particularly the racing ones.
What happened to the Fleet, Mobil and Sanyo Racing SD1's from
European Touring Car Racing...? We had a couple of SD1's years ago.
Anyone know the whereabouts of A212BRG (Silver Auto) and C???HOA [poss C630HOA]
(blue twin plenum) that we owned...? Last we heard of the blue one it was going
to be tuned. We had it tuned by John Eales in Coventry and surprised a few cars...! Reaction: Loved the shadow site! and indeed a good question where are all those racing SD1's? Quite a lot of them appear to be in Germany. Stored for the future? |

I am from South Afrika and have recently bought a '84 VanDenPlas.
I was looking for technical information and browsed the web yesterday,
finding your site. Before I even noticed all that you offer, I signed the guestbook and asked
for more technical specs ! - Excuse me !
Your site is absolutely amazing ! - Thanx
I wish that I could also join your club, but it is a bit far to travel from SA.
Keep up the good work !
Reaction: It is indeed a bit far to travel from SA...A Range Rover would be needed instead of your SD1 I guess...:-) Glad you like the site. Your previous entry also asked about roadtests which is not a bad idea at all and something like that wil come up next year. |

20 December Joel Car:1982 rover SD1 SE 3500 |
how about info to know for trouble shoothing on SD1's and other models
engine upgrades, pics of peoples cars
Reaction: Trouble shooting info can mostly be found in the workshop manual, Some additional trouble shooting like the EFI system can be found here. We are working on the engine upgrade info (tuning) and indeed there should be more pic's of peoples cars, So send them in with some info on restauration, tuning, use, stories, etc..we can make a page of it !! |

How can I get a wing for my car and send me pictures of the purple SD1 please, thank you Reaction: I don't know any adresses where you can get those wings but a lot of those big wings are coming from the Cosworth Ford Sierras so it might be worthwile to search there on the www. http://www.xr4x4.co.uk/ might be a nice start to search. It also has a very impressive video clip with an SD1 on the race track.

So for it appears to be a quite well executed site, far superior to others,
in the ease of getting around it and very good and relevant content.
Would you provide me with details of the Jaguar to Rover brake conversion please.
Thank-you.(this site has been a great find). Reaction: Thanx for the compliments!, I have no information on the conversion at hand at this moment but I will look around if I can find some. It is an interesting subject. So if anyone has info on the brake conversion, let me know!!! |

|
|
03 November Simon King Car:1984 SD1 VDP |
I have just read your excellent Techtalk page about the viscous couplings fitted to the Rover SD1.
Those with the bi-metallic coil and left-hand thread attachment to the water pump spindle
were not only fitted to EFi cars. My carburetter car with air-con has one!
Thought you'd like to know.
Reaction: Thanx, that's interesting! could it be that the original one has been replaced for this one? |
|
02 November Lee Davie Car:1985 3500se |

lot of precious knowledge from you, thank you and keep it
up please. Reaction: Glad we could be of some help! And off course we keep on mining for more info :-) |

Wow what a great site! Everything an SD1 owner could ask for.
Especially way out here on the west coast of Canada [Vancouver]
as North America only got about 2ooo of these cars in 1980
Reaction: Could have been a lot more than 2000 if Leyland showed some more customer support in those days. They could have sold 200,000 cars! |
|
27 October Ian Scown Cars: 85 Rover Vitesse. 80 Range Rover 89 Peugeot 205 GTI |
