Rover 75 Cdt 1999 For Sale
Hi, it pains me to do this but im having to sell my rover 75 cdt, its not running at the mo due to a wiring fault that i can't fix and can't afford to take it to another
garage !!! this car had this problem with the last owner and he had a new ECU fitted 2 months before i bought it last summer, it went great for me for 5 months with know problems till late november it just would not start ? i put new cam and crank sensors on it and checked the fuel pumps, ive had it at 2 garages and they both said it is a wiring fault but they wouldn't fix it ?? they said the ECU is ok. its in good condition for a 1999 and the engine is exellent with only 117.000 miles on it. i paid £2600 for it but im open to good offers !!! you can PM me thanks.

Hi, thats a good question !! i paid £2.500 for it last summer, i would like somewhere around £1.600, i think someone who's good with electrics would probably sort it ?

Well don't give it away.
A pity you can't bring it down here if it is a wiring fault it should be easy to fix. Garages hate this kind of fault as their hourly rates make lengthy fault finding prohibitively expensive. |

Tony, have you had it to a garage with testbook.
the reason I ask is that mine wouldnt start and it was down to a flooded immobiliser |

I notice you're in Cumbria.
if you can get it to them it might be worth having a word with signature, on 01772 634488, (preston)they are ex phoenix technicians and seem pretty clued up |
