The problem with RAVE is that it was for MGR techs to use as a source of information and it assumes you have MGR or motor trade knowledge. When it comes to cambelt replacement no manufacturer that I work with (including MGR) states that auxiliary jockey wheels, guides and tensioner are to be changed and it’s only the last 20 years or so that kits were developed to include water pumps and everything you need. As an apprentice, which was a long time ago, and in my early years of being qualified it was normal practice when doing a cambelt change to just replace the belt and asses everything else. However, it is the norm to now replace everything whilst in there and any KV6 cambelts I do I change the hydraulic tensioner pin also as I’ve seen the same design leak oil on other manufacturers.

'Marmite' Possibly one of the most famous 75 tourers produced! left the production line as the last of only Three Rover 75 tourers produced in Trophy Yellow. 48 hours later Longbridge closed. The last sold ordered 75 Tourer. Paid for by the Phoenix Four and handed over by John Towers to the Warwickshire Northampton Air ambulance service as a Rapid Response vehicle
