I would but the car is a pile or parts!

Hi, has nothing!

I bought a used Rica ecu for my old 1995 850 manual, I plugged it in but never drove the car to test it. Anyway my concern is that the ecu had no logo or reference to Rica, I'm sure it genuine but...

Good morning
My project has just developed a misfire, any ideas on were to start? Can smell petrol, it's strange but when I remove the plug lead number 2 (second in from cam cover) it runs slightly...

I had a couple of Rovers 800's with these seats when they first came out in 1993, very nice.

Pics and part number would be great !

Just putting the project back together, is the turbo to manifold a metal to metal affair? do i need to at least use some sort of sealer? i hear the later cars had a gasket, should i try and locate...

Hi , thanks for the response, yes its an 850, i like sound of R springs, proberly the best of both worlds with those. off to the wanted section!
