Rover sold with MG some really nice cars a few years ago. I´m in Mexico and they had a Rover 75 sedan that was gorgeous. I want to get one. I still see them around my city, but the dealer is gone and Rover appears to have gone out of business. Wikopedia says that a Chinese company has bought the factory and may be moving it to China.
Does anybody know where to get parts for a Rover 75 sedan? I think they were made around 2004.
What´s the status of Land Rover? I had heard that they were going to be sold in Jaguar dealerships.

 

Tata motors bought Land Rover last year along with Jaguar. I hadn't heard anything on a combined effort with LR and Jag dealerships though.

 

rover got out of business in 2003 & it has all most the same parts of land rover free lander & honda legend
i hope this info .help's

ps i am working in the dealer ship of jaguar & land rover in saudi arabia & before we were the exclusive dealers for rover cars i still have a 1998 rover 800 coupe V6 2.7
worst engine ever.

 

Land Rover, Jeep and Hummer is most interested

 

i like Land Rover & Jeep, i don't know about hummer

but dude we are talkin about ROVER !!!

 

How interesting! Worst engine ever? Tell me more. How about the engines on the last series of Rover 75´s? Basically Acura Legend like in the Sterlings?

 

Ive never driven a Rover but Top Gear said they are the worst cars ever made so I guess thats in line with your worst engine ever statement lol

 

Worst car ever made? Sounds perfect for me. Especially since there are no places in the country to buy parts. I gotta find one.

 

If it's the same v6 Land Rover used in the Freelander I would steer wide far and clear of it.

The Check Engine Light in the freelander actually means Change Engine Light

 

Hi ArmyJag,

I knew there was a reason the Freelanders were so cheap

Mike

 

They are absolute trash, I wouldn't take one if it was free.... Sorry for the Hijack

 

Freelander = Garbage. I know Land Rover dealers who flat-out refuse to sell them, no matter how nice it is, any Freelander that comes in on trade is wholesaled.

 

driving a rover is not bad but the engine if bull s#!t
i showed it to a work shop he removed the engine and replased it with a kia carnival engine (yes the mini van)it wasen't easy but it works just fine but of cours i sold the car (it got me spending all my cash)
i paid around 7000 RS that is about 1870 US Dollars .

 

My God, how uninformed people are sometimes !!

I have a Rover 75 here in England and have had it for 3 years. It is a 2.5 litre V6 Auto and I bought it secondhand at 43k and it is now on over 82K miles. I have taken it to Rome (twice), Switzerland, France, and Germany on holidays. I use it every day for work and domestic duties at weekends. It has been a joy to own so far, although to be fair, I had to have new rear springs, as one broke. I have also had new discs and pads as these wear out, and a rear exhaust box as the original looked a bit doggy, but was not actually leaking.

The V6 2.0 and 2.5 litre V7 engines were produced in the UK by MG Rover, it is not a Honda or anything else. Only the cam belts are an issue because there are three of them and they should be replaced every 90k miles or 6 years. I had mine done Jan 2009.

The diesels are the BMW engine as in the BMW 3 Series, but not tuned up so much, although this can be corrected by re-mapping the chip in the ECU.

The only engines that are problematic are the 1.8 litre 4s as these are notorious for blowing headgaskets. A new gasket design is now available and cures this problem. It's also used in the SAIC cars using the Rover engine design but built in China.

All parts are freely available from X-Part the UK supplier of MG Rover parts, many now made in China as they are identical to the SAIC car parts. Parts can be shipped round the world. Obviously there is no US supplier as the cars were never imported to the USA.

 

As above I have a 75 estate, great car, 1.8 turbo gives good performance once the head gasket has been replaced. Basically a reskined BMW 3 series and was used as a test bed by BMW to try new gadgets.

There is a V8 brute version as well. If any of you over the pond have one and need parts pm me and I will point you in the right direction
