Rover 75 Diesel Electrical Problems

Thanks John

Very Helpful! Aren't their better NG's for your attentions ...!

The message from "Huw" contains these words:

He might be American. They still use an apostrophe for plurals of things like MP's and DVD's.

Is the car fitted with a sunroof? Rover had problems with some 75's with the sunroof drain pipes. The problem was corrected in post April

As do lots of well-educated English people. The convention varies where abbreviations are plural.

The difference between 'their' and 'they're' and 'there' is consistent.

True - I hadn't seen that part!

Hi,

If you look under the bonnet, in the corners by the gas-struts you should, IIRC, find some rubber grommets - most likely you'll have pools of water where those ought to be...

It's not a difficult jot to clear them out, so that should be your first port of call.

Then, under some of the plastic covers (location varies with engine size, I'm afraid, so I can't be more specific) you'll find the ECU plug-in module. Might be a good idea to whip it out and dry the pins off. Fingers crossed, you should be okay and there won't be any lasting damage - a new ECU is expensive, and depending on the damage, it might not be possible to repair your existing one. But that's a worst-case thing.

With luck you'll be back to driving your 75 with the pride deserved for the best British-built car. :-D
