Lovely to see a great collection of Rover 75’s and MG ZT, in such a beautiful setting. Owning a 2002 Rover 75 here in Australia I understand your passion for such a fine motor car. Many they bring you years of happy and safe motoring. “Rover One Of Britains Fine Cars”
Enjoyable video. Personally I think the introduction of the 99 EMS and Turbo was the game changer for SAAB. I also liked the 900. Lovely cars. I was at a car show a couple of weeks ago and saw a 9000 (with a boot) and was surprised that people didn't know what it was. Fair enough i accept the young lad may not have been around when it was on the roads but his father would have been. Nice to see your 75 parked outside. Thanks for sharing.👍
@@SvennsCarchannel strange mine has 2 8mm and 10mm on the top are you sure you are not confusing? also hows the water issue have you seal them already? i finnaly found the last leak, it was from the clutch pedal. do you own a diesel model if not why?
Thank you for putting this up. I am currently in the process of changing all four headlight bulbs on my facelift 2005 Rover 75 CDTi and have been having some strobing issues. I'm using Philips Ulltinon Access LED bulbs. I fitted the H7s and H9s without resistors at first but the main beams strobed about 10 times after the ignition was switched on (lights off)). After I fitted generic resistor kits, all that happened was the dip lights also strobed! So thanks to your other High Beam video, I have ordered the same Philips canbus LED adapters for the H7, and also a set for the H9 bulbs. My question is: how were you able to have the new H9 bulbs working correctly without a canbus adapter? Thanks for your time.
I dont know if they have a built in resistor but they work very well. Only thing that is annoying is that the cooling fans makes som frequency disturbance sound through the speaker system if you have a little volume on your stereo system. And the light output on the high beams isn’t all that great under dark and wet conditions to be honest. I will make a video of this shortly! I’m very happy with the dipped beam but not the high beams. They seem to work optimally only when they have a lot of snow to reflect on😕
It went rather quickly actually! We hadn’t done it on a BMW before but even as a DIY mechanic on the garage floor it took under an hour. Easier than a MB W211 !
Zašto ne upali moj rover vergla a neće da upali kad mu naspem špricom benzin u filter vazduha odma upali i ćim to potroši ugasi se.on je dizel 75 2.0.cdti.nafta dolazi do boš pumpe.ako je boš pumpa kako da je popravim.molim za odgovor ako je moguće.unaprijed hvala.ili ako imate taj vide da mi pošaljete
I don’t recommend using these bulbs. As soon as the road gets wet and dark and snow is melting they are almost useless. It’s like they need light reflecting environments to work properly 😕
@@SmashingPistons yes that is one factor! I will try the ones I have in my ZTT as I remember those seemed quite a bit better. I will make a video about this so people don’t start running out to buy useless bulbs 🤣
Weird sound...fuel pump pulled a vacuum on the tank? Is the tank vent open? If it does it again, pull the filler cap. Would also explain stopping for 'no' reason...
Not these ones. I have hid on my MG ZTT which has precisely the same headlight units . Not much difference I’d say. But I have bought a relatively expensive kit with can-bus adapter. But what kind of car do you have?
@@SvennsCarchannel have a Taurus with the stock projectors. Led sucks man I know everyone hyped em up but nothing compares to proper hid in a projector housing. I've bought cheap led and the most expensive. Returned or just threw em all away.
@@SvennsCarchannel it's cool. It's just if I'm going to upgrade I expect an upgrade. Even cheap 35w eBay hid outshine led. Now you get a decent set of 55w ballasts and bulbs now you talkin
A really good and very detailed description . I've never done this job before but if i did i would use this video rather than the Haynes manual . Very good 👍
Yes i know! I haven’t got a compression tester at the moment. It had the gasket and belt and water pump done by the previous owner about 6 months before it was taken off the road in 2019. It also had a new turbo shortly after as it failed and started pumping the catalyst and exhaust full of oil. So the catalyst and O2 sensor is likely to be defective. But I will make sure the gasket is actually all right. There is by the way no signs of coolant intrusion in to the cylinders.
I know it's a four week old video,but I see white smoke (not blue,indicative of oil).You mentioned smell of coolant,yet,no external leaks,one (#4)sparklug wet(?).What was the coolant level before and after the run?You could be looking at a head gasket.And another thing,is the fuel tank breathing ok?Is there any later video about it?Is there a video about the other cars or you're dedicated to Rovers?Please,forgive this borbardment,I've just found out about your channel today.
Head gasket was done 6 months before it was taken off the road in 2019. But just before it was put away the previous owner took it to vacation from Norway to Denmark where the turbo failed and soaked the catalyst and exhaust with oil. Turbo is replaced but catalyst and o2 sensor is permanently damaged. I have never driven this car and the time it’s running on the video is the only time I’ve seen it running since i bought it. Nothing done since as I don’t have time. Parked up in storage until spring arrives. Then I will get more in to it and start the “restoration”!
@@SvennsCarchannel I was not aware of all these things.I just hope,with a little bit of money,will become roadworthy again,so that you can enjoy it.Have a good night ,Svenn.
Thank you 🙏 It is difficult to secure properly without taking it apart but I managed to place it so it stays relatively securely under the lens without interfering the hight adjustment.
@@SvennsCarchannelThank you for your swift response,Svenn.Does this led conversion make it easier when you drive in snowfall conditions?I'm just curious,cause we don't get to see much snow down here,and I'm thinking on doing this conversion myself.Thank you for your time.
@@CUSTODIAN70 no it doesn’t do much in heavy snow fall. Yellow light is better for contrast in snowfall. Especially high beam. But on wet dark roads it helps very much.
Hello there, could I use a fragment of your video for my coldstarting compilation? Of course I will put a link to your original video in the description, increasing the original’s popularity too. Thanks a lot for you answer in advance :) 75s are very nice cars, friend often took me to school on his way on the days when he could take the car, his had the 2.0d bmw lump, very classy interior on those things!
I see Huzzly Bear has standard reflectors and then you have to buy kit with D2R bulbs. That’s the only xenon bulb developed for that type of headlamp where the reflector or glass makes the beam pattern . With a D2S bulb you will get totally wrong pattern and not a good light output and you will blind oncoming traffic!
I installed Philips Ultinon Pro 9100 H4 bulbs on my parents' Saab 9-3 (the older generation from 1998 to 2003) and they work great. Excellent beam pattern.
Wonderfully detailed video, 😊 this has been a huge help for me replacing the head gasket on my MGF. Thank you for your commitment to show the whole process, it really sets your videos apart. I’m a novice home DIY mechanic and find it frustrating when so many ‘how to’ videos cut out so much important details! Yours are brilliant because they show entry little nut and bolt of the whole project. Thank you !! Also, you are easy to listen to and have a very engaging manner about you too 👍 All the best, Steve in the uk 🇬🇧
Pleasure is all mine🙏I knew there had to be someone that could appreciate this level of detailed recording ☺️Unfortunately the reassembly isn’t that good because I had do literally throw it back together because I had to get out of my flat as quickly as h…. . But I hope that will be useful as well ☺️
🙂I’m definitely one of the 1 in every ten that love the detail. It’s positively therapeutic watching your videos; I appreciate your patient and methodical approach, and especially the emphasis on regular tea breaks 😉 Steve 👍
No i won’t go down that road🙈I will give it a proper service and engine flush and see if it’s just condensation. Head gasket and belt and water pump and it has a new turbocharger the same year it was put in storage. Has only done a few thousand kilometers before storage. The previous owner told me the catalyst was soaked in oil when the turbo failed. So it might be some oil residue in there. If I have to replace the gasket I’m not bothered by that ☺️
@@SvennsCarchannel I didn't think you would for one minute. I've used k seal once in a rover 25 k series, but only out of desperation to get to my work place , it did work well for 40k until I sold it .
@@neilthorpe3914 I did it on my ZTT and it worked fine for 9 months and 21.000 km and since it’s been sat in storage waiting for full restoration sometime in the future ☺️
It's called a combination stripping/crimping tool...might be better to add a few centimetres of cable when doing this, so it can't pull loose/break wires. Be doing mine soon...
As the owner of the same vehicle (mk1 1.8t) I look forward to seeing the progress on this project. It’s great that you trying to save her as there isn’t many left now! Good luck with it Crazy👍
Congratulations! You will certainly be able to tell the difference between your 75 and this ZT, similar in some ways and completely different in others, looking forward to further posts 👍
Thank you sir ☺️I all ready own a facelift ZTT so it is familiar territory. But this is the kind of ZT I really wanted to begin with. Early pre facelift saloon with boot spoiler☺️
I have a pre face-lift 190 the spoiler makes a difference and the earlier style front headlights give it a more aggressive look I think. Ps you know me from Facebook and the Norwegian 75 and ZT forum 👍
