Think head gaskets.................. That wasn't planned I hope.......

Think not one, not two, but THREE fuel pumps on the diesel engine.....

Need I go on??? ?????

Yours under tray is only missing because your mechanic told you it wasn't needed.
In other words, he couldn't be bothered to put it back on.

You've been telling us ever since that they are not needed even though your engine bay gets filled with ****. . Init

??? My engine bay has never been cleaned as far as I know Dave, but then I have never ever cleaned an engine on any car of mine.. Why would I . ??

Removing-replacing one tray is fine, but the turnover at my local garage is about 10 - 20 cars a day between the three mechanics, so messing with under trays costs a lot of money in terms of time spent innit... ..

And, they can hide a lot of problems.....

So whilst my mechanic did suggest it initially, I did/do agree with him....

Hide what problems?

Sounds like your garage are idle. Who doesn't want to remove and refit a part of the car? It is like taking the engine cover off to change the air filter then just binning it instead of putting it back. Just plain laziness.

Reduced road and engine noise and better mpg, I know I will be keeping mine thanks.

I would even suggest that perhaps you buy one

Are all the undertrAys the same on our cars? I need one for my tourer cdti. Not wanting to spend 130quid tho!

Only the 1.8 turbo is different, the rest are the same.

Search eBay for Rover Undertray, the seller doesn't list them as 75 undertrays for some reason.
