I've still got some on the front of my V8 Series 2A. The rears are the Mud Pluggas that Milners do and as the fronts are getting a bit thin thats what they'll be replaced with. They've been on there two years now and it was used daily, and I'm not dead, so they can't be all bad
BFG's better offroad..
Put us down for some stickers - will be spreading the word at upcoming AWDC trials as well.
All the best Simon if you look at ORRP you have a heap of support there as well.
He's right, mine lasted for years on the original box with a 165bhp 3.5 on it. When it eventually went it snapped the layshaft but I still got home ok.
So you have - In a bit of a different tone to your earlier post here.....?
Sorry but the praise "Jumping on the band wagon" springs to mind, especially as you declined his offer to sort your problem, which seems to have been a simple misunderstanding.
He must be a animal then.
I've just replaced the V8 in mine for a 1996 unit and apart from modding the bulkhead pretty much entirely re-did the conversion. Any pictures or questions just ask.
If you want something to restore and go to shows in then it's probably ideal - 2 litre Series 2's are not exactly common and its a very early one too. It looks straight enough and pretty original. Pop a ragtop on it, sort the bulkhead and give it a lick of paint and you'd have a nice little weekend toy.
If you want a daily driver or something to go laning/playdaying in then you would be much better off with a 2.25 for the reasons stated above.
Plea for help guys - the engine in my Series is stuffed and I need it back on the road ASAP. I've posted in the classifieds but as it's fairly urgent thought I'd take the mick a bit and ask here too - anyone got a Rover V8 in good working order they want to sell, in the West Sussex area?? Cash and a few tinnies waiting!!
