Rover 75 mechanic near Histon/Impington Cambridge. feul filter-pump
Hello, I am new to the site, dose anywhere know of a good garage/ mechanic neat Histon, Cambridge, for my Rover connoisser 75 Cdt. Having problems, had a leaky deisel fuel filter, fuel poured out. Under bonnet fuel fuel filter was replaced, now car wont start or runs and cuts out, then wont start at all.Took it to garage. Garage replaced the under bonnet filter and filter housing, and the problem is just the same as before they did that. The fuel from the pipe conecting the under bonnet pump to the under bonnet filter, has deisel trickling out, with air, when dissconceted and the key is turned.
Thank you Don |

Thank you for your reply, sorry for the huge delay in replying to you. To cut along story short, the car was still at the garage when I posted my post. I found the battery was flat and the fuel tank was empty, they insisted in trying to start it with no diesel in the tank? so I filled it up myself, got a jump start for the flat battery, drove away, and the car has been good ever since. Think is just needed to be run with diesel in the tank after having feul filter replaced.

That was the short version of the story! It was also in for its M.O.T. had a fail list of six or seven things, I took it to the Cambridge council dept for its M.O.T and it passed first itme, with just an advisory about an oil leak. I did not get reimbursed, I did not ask to, I did tell them what I thought of them before I left. I had used them before and they had been Ok. Its Station Road garage in Histon..never again.

I have used the MGOC in the past for service and MOT on my ZT-T - in fact I may have to pop and see them this week if I can get in .
