Rover 75 cambelt replacement
Help, please! I want to replace the cambelt on my Rover 75 2001 model X-reg. I live in the Rickmansworth area northwest of London, post code WD3 5LW, so I am hoping to find a recognised Rover service garage in the Herts, Bucks, Middlesex area.
I HAVE searched via Google but with no concrete success. Can someone nearby or who happens to know please recommend an official/acknowledged Rover 75 service centre? I understand a special Rover tool is required in order to re-set the cambelt correctly. Just had my key fobs repaired/replaced by Chris in Fareham, and a few other odd jobs. Very helpful man, knowledgeable and encouraging. Thanks, Chris! David Iggulden. |

I looked at your profile to try to find out which engine you have. You say that it is 2.0 litre so it’s a V6; am I right? If so, you might be surprised to know that it actually has three cambelts! Quote:
One last thing David; how is your 2001 car a Contemporary? I thought that trim level wasn’t introduced until much later. Simon

Try MJSAUTOANDMARINE.CO.UK. They are fully mobile. Workshop, with two lifts, in Littlehampton Sussex. Distance not a problem as they used to come to me when I lived in Essex.

THANKS SHITOO FOR YOUR REPLY. I don't know what you mean about 'contemporary' and 'trim level.' As far as I know, my 75 is the very basic model.

Another option for you is MGRs in High Wycombe just off the M40 junction 4. See http://www.mgrs.co.uk/about/ . Superb guys treat my cars as if they're their own and prices are very reasonable. Courtesy car usually available too
