Where is the water pump located on a 2003 rover 45?

Right side if the cylinder block under the polastic cover.

Why does your rover 400 cut out when warm and then not start again?

I don't have a rover 400, but...

I had a similar issue with a 1984 Ford Escort a little over 10 years ago that turned out to be some module attached to the side of the distributor. It cost me about $35 and was very easy to remove and replace. I can't recall what the module was called, but I know it wasn't a voltage regulator, or the coil.

If you can, add some more information about the vehicle and a better answer could probably be provided.

Where is the brake light switch located on a Rover 114. The brake lights don't work.?

1997 4.6 Range rover Need to know coil numbering sequence to get firing order correct Know firing order but how are the coils numbered?

If you look at the coil mount bracket, they are numbered (indented in the metal are the numbers) I know left starts with 2 and the right side is #1. Take some chalk and rub the bracket and you will see #s easier.

The Irish Rover?

My wife and I discovered The Irish Rover as we drove down the pub and restaurant packed section of Frankfort Avenue during a weekend visit to Kentucky's largest city and culinary capital. We fell in love with the Irish pub culture over our many visits to Boston and Cape Cod. We wondered how an Irish pub in our home state would stack up against our beloved pubs in New England. I figured, as long as they had Guinness on tap, it couldn't be too bad.We were pleasantly surprised to find not only did they have Guinness on tap but also Bell's Two Hearted Ale, one of my all time favorite beers. The conundrum of whether to order Guinness or the Bell's was solved when I cleverly decided to have the Bell's with our dinner and a nice glass of the black stuff for dessert.The pub atmosphere is about as good as it gets as far as an Irish pub is concerned. The pub and restaurant occupies the bottom floor of a 150 year old brick building. The bar area is spartan in a good way, and the restaurant is also minimalist with lace curtains for adornment. I told my wife it seemed so authentic there had to be a real Irishman running the show. As it turned out, there's an Irish man and woman running the show that go by the names Siobhan and Michael Reidy. The menu turned out to be a greatest hits list of Ireland's culinary history. Fish and chips, smokes salmon, Guinness beef stew and salmon potato puffs sounded just the right tone for the place we were in both physically and metaphorically. I settled on the bangers and mash that turned out wonderfully. The sausages were packed with smoky flavor and the mashed potatoes would make any resident of the emerald isle proud. My wife ended up with the fish and chips. She said the cod was light and fluffy on the inside and crisp on the outside and the chips were the same. We also shared some the crab cakes from the starter menu that were as good as any I've ever had with the possible exception of Cape Cod. Needless to say, it wasn't our last visit.The Irish Rover, 2319 Frankfort Ave, Louisville, KY. Prices range from $3.95 to $19.95 depending on market price.

Where is the thermostat in a 220 rover turbo?

In a 220 Rover Turbo, the thermostat is typically located in the engine block, near the top hose that connects to the radiator. To access it, you generally need to remove the thermostat housing, which is secured by bolts. It's important to ensure the engine is cool before attempting to locate or replace the thermostat to avoid burns or injury.

Can you fit a perkins prima in a rover sd1?

Good question- I'm thinking of the same thing myself... The Perkins prima is based on the o-series, so theoretically it wouldn't be the most difficult swap. Both were used in the montego and sherpa vans. A sherpa van would be the easiest to raid- as its RWD. I'm also considering a 2.0 diesel from the Rover 400/45- 113bhp. It was based on the perkins, and fitted to the 400/600 series- as was the T series, which was a derivative of the o-series. You'd need a 2000 SD1 to start with, as the gear/axle ratios were different than the 6 and 8 cylinder models.

Good luck! -Brian

I agree with the above- at least one person has already done it, in the SD1 owners club. It would be easier to start with an sd1 2000, which used the O series engine on which the prima is based. The block is the same, so it will be a bolt in swap regarding engine mounts etc. You'd need to play about with the wiring and run a live to the fuel pump shut off plunger, also fabricate an exhaust downpipe. don't even consider using a non-turbo prima, it doesnt have the guts for such a heavy car.

I think the gearbox ratios in the petrol car may be unsuitable for the diesel engine although it will physically fit the engine. diesels do not like revving but produce lots of low down torque so tall ratios are needed.The 'box from an ldv 200 may be the way to go. additionally the rear axle ratio may not be suitable either, remember the diesel engine will be red lining at about 4000 rpm but at least one from a bigger engined sd1 will fit straight in. the ratio is the same on the 2.3, 2.6 and v8 models, only the 2000 had a lower ratio

Basically, all good info above, but... The Prima will rev a lot higher than 4000rpm how high varies with the source, some say 4500 others 5000. I have driven a Citroen XUD limited to 4250 and Maestro TD with no rev counter one after the other. The Prima revved much longer so I'm inclined to believe 5000+. The Prima can be easily tuned to 100BHP+ with an intercooler and fuel adjustment of the Bosch VE pump. The Prima is more about mid-range torque and has a wider power band than most engines of its era. Cold start is rough and noisy but a fuel heater helps, also a properly working crankcase breather helps refinement. It sounds like a different engine on Veggie with two tank conversion or Veggie mix. 50ish MPG.

On the weight issue remember the first Freelander with the Rover L-series engine? It was sluggish to drive and lacking in low end torque, even though it had been very competitive in lighter car applications, so it is important to compare the power and torque outputs with the original engine, especially how low the torque curve comes in on TDs, to get an idea of driveability. Modern variable nozzle turbos have almost got rid of turbo delay/lag. But they are more expensive.

Alternative engines:

LDV Pilot vans used NA XUDs and LT77 based R380 boxes. Could work with TD XUD tunable to 130BHP. Van box ratios might not work well in a SD1. Info is online. 40ish MPG.

VFM Rover L-series in RWD application has a problem of the IP being driven off the camshaft at the flywheel end of the engine. Google 'Pimp my Sherpa'.

Rover 'SD' 90's version is Bosch IP non-intercooled non-electronic. SDi has both - option of a RoverRon tuning box for £50ish. Tuning info online. Noughties 25/45 version is more complicated and data bus based. Possible 130 BHP 45+ MPG.

Alternatively, you could try BMW 325/525TDS - 143BHP, Vauxhall Omega - 129 BHP engine and or box - ECU coded to IP so you need both from the donor. 30s MPG.

Mercedes C250TD (cheap because of rust) the same engine as 190D 2.5 but with turbo. 150BHP. 30s MPG.

What size engine does the bugatti veyron have?

Its a 16.4 liter W-16 (two V-8's in a w configuration with a common crackshaft) with four turbochargers strapped on. Completely unnecessary. I've seen 3.0 liter straight-six Toyota supras with single turbos make more power than a veyron.

How do you enter the radio code into a rover 214 factory radio?

You need two U shaped pins that go into the 2 holes on either side of the radio, you push them in and the radio should just pop out. The pins can be made out of welding rod....

Where is the fuse box on a rover 400?

You need to remove the little drop down storage compartment which is situated just above the bonnet release on the drivers side near the ignition switch.

When do you change a cam belt on a rover 25 2.0l turbo diesel car?

Cam belt replacement Up to chassis number RF 545050 is 84000 miles

After chassis number RF 545050 is 48000 miles

Early cars had manual tensioners and 84k belt life.-Later cars had auto tensioner and 48k belt life

I looked at my Registration Document and there are more letters and digits than the above numbers, but if you look hard enough, you should see the relevant letters, and the numbers on the end.

How do you fit a horn to your rover 220?

To fit a horn to your Rover 220, first locate the horn mounting position, usually near the front of the vehicle, behind the grille or in the engine bay. Disconnect the battery to avoid any electrical issues, then remove the old horn if necessary. Attach the new horn using the provided bracket and secure it with bolts, ensuring the electrical connections are properly made. Finally, reconnect the battery and test the horn to ensure it functions correctly.

How do you bleed a Rover 200 brakes?

To bleed the brakes on a Rover 200, start by ensuring the vehicle is securely raised and supported. Begin at the furthest brake from the master cylinder, typically the rear passenger side, and work your way to the closest, usually the front driver side. Use a brake bleeder tool or a helper to pump the brake pedal while you open the bleeder valve to release air bubbles, then close the valve before releasing the pedal. Repeat this process until you see a steady stream of brake fluid without bubbles, and check the fluid level in the master cylinder frequently to prevent it from running dry.

How do you time a Rover 220 GTI?

line both cam wheels up at TDC (top dead centre) the botom pulley will have markings on to line that up as well then spin engine over 2 revolutions before starting to make sure pistons are clearing the valves as the last thing you want is to bend any valves as then you will be looking at a new cylinderhead
