Do you change your own trans fluid? What have you used?

Hi Roger, No, not brave enough to attempt auto trans oil change. Following a conversation with fellow wellingtonian, Graham, I will get it done by a local garage with the necessary equipment to pump out most of the old fluid. Graham also suggested a Castrol product meets the required ATF rating. As Jaguar also use the Jatco box I will check to see what the local jag agent uses.
Cheers John |

75 servicing
Hi you fellow Wellington 75/ZT owners. Can anyone recommend somewhere local for servicing (the cambelt change is due on my 75 2.5 V6 Tourer)?

welcome to the mysteries of rover 75 ownership.
I have used Amsterdam Cars in Lower Hutt. My car is coming up to 100,000 kms and is therefore due for a cam belt, idler, water pump etc changeover. I bought all the parts from Rimmers when I was in the UK last August. Get a few firm quotes before committing to any one garage. Harbour City in Lower Hutt were also recommended, more than could be said for Harbour City in Wellington. They charged a friend $4200. All up including parts and labour the cost should be around $2000. They reckon it takes about 8 hours. |

Mrs Yellow Peril and I were very suprised to see a Primrose Yellow 75 when we were on our holidays over there in 2005 near Queenstown. Owning a Primrose Yellow 75 ourselves we were keen to talk to the owner, but he gave us the slip near Arrowtown. Anyone over there know the car/owner or seen it around lately?
Best fun was hammering down 90 mile beach on a beautiful sunny day in October, in our hired Hyundai - with the windows open - avoiding the sunken cars, Breathtaking. We'd be back there in a flash if circumstances permitted Best Wishes Andrew

In all the time I lived in Chch I can't remember seeing one 75, maybe I should have spent less time in Bailies Bar (Warners Hotel). Paul

Sorry, I've not looked in this thread for ages. Yes, you're right, there are very few to be seen. I regularly see a silver pre-facelift one about (who does not return my waves unfortunately) but few others. There were a few sold her, including 2 MG 260 V8's but I've never seen them on the road. I'd love to arrange a meet for later this year, so plan to do something about that.

I forgot to ask, when were you here and where did you live? I like that bar too, but don't get to see the inside of it much!
