To both of you, I take offence. I had this car since Sep 2007 and never missed a beat. Any car do this. Or you are: its british=its rubbish: type of ppl.Rover. Theres your answer.
Thanks. I was thinking the same. Maybe changing a lambda sensor or maybe T4 testbook at dealer.Pew_Pew_Pew_Lasers! wrote: »Engine thinks its cold.Was this post useful to you? Feel free to click the thanks button--¬ :beer:0 -
Does sound like something along the lines of the automatic choke - either that or a hole in the bottom of your petrol tank!

sparks go to www.mg-rover.org and put your question on the forum, you will get a better response. It maybe something very simple that you can fix yourself without the need of a T4. They are friendly guys over there and will be more than happy to give you answer rather than an opinion of the marque.Everyones opinion is the most important.....no wonder nothing is ever agreed on.0

There used to be a puncture that bled when cars hot, loosing coolant and I changed the pipes and coolant. Theres no hole in tank as no smell of petrol till I start the ignition.Cool_Username wrote: »Does sound like something along the lines of the automatic choke - either that or a hole in the bottom of your petrol tank!
