Beautiful car. Too bad Rovers are quite rare here in Singapore even in the 90s and early 2000s, before the company closed down. I think all of them in Singapore have been scrapped by now.

I always used to just push the piston back, watching out for overflow from reservoir of course, until a work colleague had done the job on his wife's car, and ended up with no brakes! He had had the bad luck of 'flipping' the seal in the master cylinder, apparently you also run the risk of wrecking the ABS modulator too. No such thing as a easy job! Great video.

I've got this car, and it has an oil leak. At 7:08 in this video, there is a grey cable in the bottom left hand corner of the screen. That has detached from the engine, and I'm not quite sure what it's for and how to reattach it. Can you offer me any advice please

I had a new 205 Junior in 1986 (D reg) - the 954cc petrol version. It was hideously basic, 4-speed and it was dog slow (only about 45bhp I think) but it was economical and 100% reliable in the 3yrs and 55k miles I had it for and a bit more interesting than its Fiesta, Nova or Metro rivals. I did get a rear-wiper for it which came with a new stalk

I just bought a 2005 Vanden Plas (Canada), with a perfect body and interior (except for the saggy headliner), with only 47,234 miles on the clock. I paid £7000.00 which I think was fair price, but it does need an air-con evaporator and heater core. The right front suspension (followed by the left front) sags when temps dip below 0˚C. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the car, but I do wonder if I made a smart decision buying it. 🤔

There is a metal wire between the headlight and the indicator light as well. If you used that and removed the headlight completely (headlight adjuster might need some convincing to release), you would have had much more room to work on removing the indicator. The new gear knob you made might be more reliable than a replacement, since he replacements seem to be of a similar material as the original ones, which disintegrate in time because of heat/cold cycles, fuel residue stuck on your hands after filling up, and/or skin grease. However, the replacement gearknobs seem to be quite available here in the Netherlands and reasonably priced. Might not hurt to have one shipped over there if you are in a pinch. Thanks for giving this 205 the love it deserves and keeping it on the road!

To answer some FAQs... .COST: Including the purchase of the car, all parts (new and used, bought from Flying Spares) and labour, the Turbo R owed us around £15,000. .FUEL ECONOMY: We managed 15MPG (18.8L/100KM or 12.5MPG US) on a run, as little as 6MPG (47L/100KM or 5MPG US) in town... .DIY: Every job on these cars - except hydraulics-related - can be done from home by the keen DIYer, just make sure you've got the hefty sockets and spanners the Bentley requires. COSTS: These cars are temptingly cheap, but brace yourself for expensive parts, hefty thirst and tyres that are £250+ EACH! If you're happy to spin spanners yourself, though, you can save a fortune in specialist labour.

Rollers have always been known to rust as badly as they do.In fact I would place a bet that in the 70,s and 80,s they rotted as quickly as a Ford did. They were built I think to be premium but not to still be on the road 10 years down the line because that defeated the point somewhat.
@2006gtobob 4 ай бұрын
Truly rich people view these cars as just another car, a stylish device to get from A to B, and RR/Bentley (all of the upper echelon manufacturers really) understands that concept, knowing that these cars will be sold on fairly quickly, with little regard for the 2nd owner and beyond. The disregard for durability and reliability with HUGE markups for basic maintenance and repair parts is the reason these cars are generally worthless down the road and appear to be "cheap" to purchase. German cars used to be TANKS, engineered to last. That's LONG gone. And now that RR and Bentley are now German cars, forget it. The Continental W12 is a wonderful engine once it's rebuilt properly to get rid of all the plastic crap from the engine. But, from the factory, they are built-in-obsolescence machines. RR's may not rust out now due to a 100% aluminum structure, but the engine is based upon the BMW V12 with the same shortcomings, but at least it's simpler to repair in general.

The only downside to, especially the 623, is that they all sport a PRNDL which is a terminal turn off for me. The Ronda cars that came out of AR/the Rover group in the late 80s and 90s were a superb blend of Honda build quality and Rover design flair and everybody should own one. Just watch out for rust in the back of the sills. These cars were wax injected but the wax coverage was spotty and needs to be done again when you have welded in new metal. The doglegs on your own 623 are rotten at the bottom and the last 2"to 3" of thre rear sill will be thin and rusty from the inside too. get the trims off and look.

New genuine Ford valve cover gasket solved that, £36 at the time from Birchwood Fraud in Eastbourne......tried a £14 aftermarket gasket first and it leaked worse than before !!!! It drove well enough though and reminded me of my old Mk1 Fiestas from years ago. If you can find one now in reasonable nick, grab it 👍👍
