Rover 75 Series

To replace the brake pads on a Rover 75, first, safely lift the vehicle and remove the wheel. Next, use a brake caliper tool to compress the caliper piston, then unbolt the caliper and remove it from the rotor. Take out the old brake pads and replace them with new ones, ensuring they are properly aligned. Finally, reattach the caliper, replace the wheel, and lower the vehicle before testing the brakes.

To check the oil in a Rover 75 auto gearbox, first ensure the vehicle is on a level surface and the engine is warm. Locate the transmission dipstick, which is typically found near the back of the engine bay; remove it and wipe it clean. Reinsert the dipstick, then remove it again to check the oil level, ensuring it falls within the marked range. If necessary, add the appropriate transmission fluid through the dipstick tube using a funnel.

The Rover 75 1.8 engine is a four-cylinder, 1.8-liter petrol engine that was part of the Rover 75 lineup, produced from 1998 until the early 2000s. Known for its smooth performance and reasonable fuel efficiency, it produces around 120-135 horsepower, depending on the specific variant. The engine features a DOHC design and is available with both manual and automatic transmission options. However, it has been noted for potential issues with head gasket failure, which can lead to significant engine problems if not addressed.

To reset the Windows system on a Rover 75, you typically need to access the vehicle's onboard diagnostic system through the car's menu. Use the steering wheel controls to navigate to the settings or reset option, where you can choose to reset the system to factory settings. If you're specifically referring to the infotainment system, consult the vehicle manual for detailed instructions, as the process may vary slightly depending on the model year and installed software. Always ensure to back up any important data before performing a reset.

If the ABS light on your Rover 75 won't illuminate, it could be due to a blown fuse, a malfunctioning bulb, or an issue with the ABS control module. The ABS system may also be disabled if there's a fault detected, preventing the light from turning on. It's advisable to check the vehicle's fuse box and inspect the ABS system for any errors. If the problem persists, consulting a professional mechanic for diagnostic testing is recommended.

Changing the indicator bulb on a Rover 75 is relatively straightforward. First, you'll need to access the rear light cluster by removing the screws or clips holding it in place. Once you’ve removed the light cluster, simply twist and pull out the old bulb, then insert the new bulb and reassemble the cluster. Overall, it can usually be done in under 30 minutes with basic tools.

To rectify an engine disabled issue caused by an alarm problem in a Rover 75, start by checking the vehicle's battery and fuses to ensure they are in good condition. Next, inspect the alarm system for any faults or malfunctions, particularly the immobilizer, which may need reprogramming or resetting. If the issue persists, consider using the vehicle's key fob to deactivate the alarm or consult a professional mechanic or dealership for diagnostic assistance. Additionally, running a diagnostic scan can help identify specific error codes related to the alarm system.

To remove the front indicator on a Rover 75, start by opening the hood and locating the indicator assembly. You may need to remove the headlight unit by unscrewing the retaining bolts and gently pulling it out. Once the headlight is free, you can access the indicator bulb holder; twist it counterclockwise to release and remove the indicator light. Finally, replace or reinstall the indicator as needed.

The ECU (Engine Control Unit) on a Rover 75 is typically located in the engine bay, mounted on the left side near the battery. It is a crucial component of the vehicle's engine management system, responsible for controlling various engine functions such as fuel injection, ignition timing, and emissions control. Accessing the ECU may require removing some covers or components for better visibility.

The cooling fan in your Rover 75 1.8 may run continuously due to a faulty temperature sensor, which can send incorrect signals to the fan control system. Additionally, issues with the cooling system, such as low coolant levels or a malfunctioning thermostat, could trigger the fan to operate continuously to prevent overheating. Electrical faults or wiring issues could also cause the fan to engage unexpectedly. It's advisable to have a diagnostic check performed to pinpoint the exact cause.

To remove the starter motor from a Rover 75 2.5 V6, first disconnect the battery to ensure safety. Then, access the starter motor, which is typically located near the transmission at the rear of the engine. Remove the electrical connections and the mounting bolts securing the starter motor in place. Finally, carefully pull the starter motor out of its housing.

Noisy tappets on the Rover 75 1800 petrol engine typically indicate a need for adjustment or maintenance rather than a simple reset. These hydraulic tappets can become noisy due to wear, low oil pressure, or dirt buildup. It’s advisable to check the oil level and quality first, and if the noise persists, a more thorough inspection or replacement of the tappets may be necessary. Regular maintenance can help prevent this issue from recurring.

The starter motor is at the rear of the engine.

take CD changer out of glove box take the cover of CD and look inside to the right hand side you will see a large black plastic wheel turn it slowly and you will see the CD drawer go back into the magazine then press magazine release button job done

Its held by 6 screws, 4 are visible the other two (8mm) are located at the back of the engine, very hard to find so use a mirror... Good luck, IB (Netherlands)

THis ain't no question

An "ometer" is a suffix used in various scientific terms to denote a measuring instrument or device. It originates from the Greek word "metron," meaning "measure." Common examples include a thermometer (measures temperature), barometer (measures atmospheric pressure), and odometer (measures distance traveled by a vehicle). Each type of ometer serves a specific purpose in quantifying different physical properties.

May I suggest that you start by draining out the automatic gearbox oil or fluid and completely refill. Even 50% might be enough, but if so it'll need doing annually to keep it refreshed. It's probably about the shear strength in the oil being reduced to the point it won't drive this very low gear any more.

Years ago I had the same issue with a Granada Scorpio and the fluid change fixed it, but mine was nearly completely drained and filled with good quality Auto Transmission fluid.

Good luck - a lovely car.

The average cost of removing and replacing a wishbone, also known as a control arm, typically ranges from $200 to $700, depending on the vehicle make and model, as well as labor costs in your area. This price usually includes parts and labor, but additional fees may apply if other suspension components need attention. It's always best to get a detailed estimate from a local garage for a more accurate assessment.

To bleed the clutch of a Rover 75, first remove the interior panels on the steering column. Second, remove the master cylinder and use a syringe to inject the fluid into the system and repeat 4 times to bleed the clutch.

possibly a loose wire connecting under one of the front seats,try shaking them next time the light come on and see if you can make it go off

because the cooling system cant cope

they are made to a budget and all rovers have always been the same

No, not all Rovers have been the same. My father had a Rover 100 (1960s model); it was a good car and had no problem with cooling in the five years he had it. I had a Rover 213, I bought it secondhand very cheaply - it was a rust-bucket but had no mechanical problems in the two years I had it.

the 75 was not made on a small budget, in fact the total opposite is true. The budgets to develop the car were huge. It was built and designed when BMW owned Rover and shares many parts with BMW 3 and 5 series cars. The weak link was in the small 1.8 cars with the K series engine, an engine known for head gasket problems. The 2.0 and 2.5 v6's did not have this weakness and the 2.0 diesel (same engine in bmw 5 series) has the total opposite problem, they are so efficient they struggle getting to normal operating temperature, let alone managing to overheat.
