I have to admit my guilt.
I scrapped an 827 Coupe. The fuel pump relay went and we stripped that car to bits trying to find the thing.
Never found it, gave up and scrapped it.
Sorry..............

You should have asked, i'd've told you where to find them! That's if it wasn't something much simpler like the inertia switch had been triggered.............

My 744 is back now (freshly MoT'd for one whole year), looking lovely and golden in the Wolds sunshine at Prufrock Towers...something quite indescribable about a how nice a good 744 is...even though I have several more valuable and much faster cars.

Jon.

N.B or is this a Rover 800 thread now ?

Having a tech problem with my not-so-smart phone...but it was a small* amount of corrosion on the underside on what you might call a chassis member - except it doesn't have a chassis !

I'll put pics up as soon as I can.

Jon.

*I think my tester was being a little fussy, but it was an advisory last year and I should have had it attended to then.
