Never had beggar all to do with them and never serviced one and had a hunt around using google and got beggar all back. Take a few close up digis of the engine bay, engine and everything in close proximity to it and put them on here.

One assumes that you have been underneath and checked it from that angle of course.

It appears to be a spin on filter according to my Ryco listings so must be visible somewhere.

thanks for that "curlcrown" .just getting to grips with the great big whale in the the drive way ! cleaned the spark plugs, topped up the fluids,bought a new battery, shampoo and deoder the dog smell, found the fuses etc etc; drove it down for a Wof yesterday ,failed on weeping back brakes and low vacuum pressure.Tyres are crap but passed.
need a source of parts and would like some original alloys and nice rubber.
That motor manual will be agreat help ,wish it was here now ,any body know any SD1 Rovers parts for sale !

With post # 5 I don't think you will need the manual, or have to take any pics, cos it is fairly obvious lol

kevlight, Mar 29, 5:42pm
thanks to those guys who helped ,thatsa good picture,nowi can go ahead and change the oil and filter tomorrow thanksKev

There and plenty of rover clubs around the country and I know the Auckland one has heaps of parts. It shouldn't be hard to find some original alloys. I can ask around for you if you like.

Why would a Rover SD1 2600 have a BMW engine!

also this should show you where the oil filter is, below the crank pulley off the oil pump - http://homepage.ntlworld.com/william.whittaker1/cache_sd1_story/2300-2600_files/23002600engine.jpg

I see you're from Timaru.
A while ago there were a couple of SD1s that sat up in Winchester, in a paddock/garden on the left just before the pub. They were side by side facing the road for ages. May still be in the village somewhere
