Hello gang,
I hope you and all you love are healthy and well during this crazy time in history.
I'm new to the forum and this is my first Rover. After more than 3 months of seeing it for sale in someones driveway It was on my long wish list with no real intention of buying. As life dictates the transmission **** the bed on my Jetta and against my wifes objections I took the plunge. Price was a steal and only 104k on the odometer. Would consider it excellent condition and spent its entire life garage protected, well I'm in love (sorry hunny). So have been investing in the usual maintenance and since the control arm bushings need replaced I've been considering the complete front/rear Poly Bush kit from British Atlantic with all the bolt hardware as well. I was also looking at the Super Pro bushings that have the metal sleeves included but they are a bit pricey and cannot buy as a kit. I already have Moog ball joints and Hawk ceramic pads and now going to invest in the EBC Ultimax slotted rotors (Hawk Talon rotors are not available for the V6) Its basically esthetically flawless so worth putting the best parts I can find. Also needs the rear wheel bearing replaced so not sure if I should also get the spindle since Its my first Rover I'm not sure what to expect when I pull it apart and don't wanna find out the bearing spun the spindle after its on jack stands. I also picked up the left/right tie rod kits from BA. I guess I can go to Ebay for some of these things but the China copies are hit or miss so for the extra cpl bucks I want to be sure. Since I have some unscheduled time off, I figure lets getter done. Any feedback and experience with my to do list would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for any response.
