Want this question answered?
you can find the sump plug in rover spares department.
yeah
Underneath the engine on the sump ( or in USA terms the oil pan)
on the bottom of the sump, i think it is a 19mm hex bolt, it does not look like a sump plug it looks like a mounting bolt for the engine but if you can get the car high enough and get good light in you will see it o.k.
yes
Chain
There are a number of reasons for this, but varies between petrol and diesel. Diesels dont like the cold. The diesel engines in the 75 are BMW common rail engines.
if it has one, which is unlikely because it is pre 2004, when these were introduced for diesels, it will be within 30 cm or so of the driver's right knee, possibly under a flap somewhere.
115 or 131 according to the type and year of production
Yes, i believe the rover 75CDT and CDTI diesel engine (called M47R) is the very same as the BMW E46 320 diesel engine (called M47). This BMW engine was also used in the BMW E39 520 diesel car This information is available on WIKIPEDIA. Regards Tommy
Rover 75 share the BMW 3 series platform and technique. Petrol engines are manufactured by MG Rover (except 4.6 V8 produce by Ford). The 2.0 l diesel, four cylinder inline, turbocharged engines, called CDT-116 PS and CDTI-131 PS, are BMW M47 common-rail diesel engine produced from 1998 to 2007 year. Same engine you can find in BMW 3 and 1 series.
it does not have a timing belt, it is a chain drive which should be good for the life of the car
