Hi guys Had to go mild steel, simply to bring the cost down for now. Just spent so much of last with mot.. gear box etc.. Just nice to have her home again after 3 months.!! K

The v8 now has a 5 speed box, new mot, clutch, exhaust etc... Next year spray job, then she'll be perfect!! :) Kelly

:D Thanks guys, useful information. So is stainless the preferred choice over steel nowadays and what about the difference in cost? ( getting the rover through an mot at the moment ) Kelly :D

Not sure where to put this post :? I'm after a middle and rear silencer for my v8. Apart from wadhams is there anywhere else i can look? Thank you Kelly

I know there were some changes made to MOTs this year - does anyone know whether having a non working speedometer is a mot failure? Thanks Kelly

Thank you. I have tried them with no luck. I'm only asking for what i've been told, I'm totally clueless :? It's a speedo drive box from a mk 1 sd1 v8. Need the manual , not the digital, which I believe was on the mk2 Kelly

Hi everyone We now have everything to do the conversion to the sd1 but cannot find a speedo drive box Mk1 sd1 (manual not electonic ) anywhere. Any suggestions ?? Thanks

We're fairly close to Bristol. :)

Finally got hold of SD1 5 speed for our 3500s v8, saving like mad to get it fitted now! :D Anyone got any rough idea how much it would cost for this to be done, including taking the old 4speed out?

Fabulous cake. I can't bring myself to cut it yet :( Thanks everyone

Just wanted to share this cake I had made for OH. What a beaut eh! :D

Hi Looking for a sd1 v8 5speed box with the housing etc.. not sure how easy they are to pick up. We are in the Bristol area. Thanks Kelly

Just got to find a 5 speed box now :?

Actually after a rethink, we are keeping the colour now :) But I spoke too soon about it running smoothly, gearbox gone today :cry: Think it might be time to put in a sd1 5 speed. What do you think? x

It's not a definate yet! and it does look nice when cleaned up. We do tend to get negative comments about the colour sometimes. :( It's a great drive though and mechanically sound.
