Sadly, I seem to better at breaking than fixing things, too! I'll just covet your garage and its contents from afar. Makes my ragtag fleet seem so... ragtag.

Re: TPS call L8 the round plug ETC8495 can be had. Good luck if it's a "flat plug TPS". You can also check local parts places that sell Standard Motor Products.... part #TH352

fun times, white classic threw a check engine light last night. Code 17 the throttle potentiometer.
Mental note please shoot the designer than determined you need to pull off the seat trim to view the diagnostic display!
Replaced the Potentiometer temporarily with one from my black classic but need a new part now. Anyone got the inside track on a new Throttle Potentiometer? my usual sources all say no longer available?

You should come to the dark side and try a LWB one of these days. They ride really nice and the flat roof is great for mounting stuff on but retaining a lower overall height.
The white classic just just keeps on trucking. It has 250k on it now and it's probably my most "sorted" trustworthy vehicle for long trips.
i still have to do the heater matrix and there's an extensive list of todo's -rear tailgate replacement, fix the cruise control, second battery and power to the roof. My original plan was to replace the engine with an LS3 or a 200tdi but at this point i'all just drove it until it breaks and then do the swap.
The tent is a James barroud discovey evolution. It's excellent and I strongly recommend it.
ive been spending most of my time working on a LWB "Sable edition" and putting that into daily driver service. Well that and my D2 is down at the moment with a front cover coolant leak. I'm going to replace the oil pump, timing chain, valley pan gasket and head gaskets all at once so kind of need to be able to count on my two LWB's for daily transport for a couple of weeks Unfil I get my D2 back on the road.
i have to say though, that I've found the older Rovers to be very resilient in the face of quite substantial abuse. The independence of the different systems within the car is a refreshing change of pace to my more complex d2.

The Sable edition was a black on black LWB that had a limited production run of 200 units. Nothing else about it was special, just the interior being black.
The black classic has more surface rust on it than most west coast cars as the previous owner lived in Long Beach and apparently would drive the beach every day. I just repaired the rear loadspace floor, but it's in pretty good shape everywhere else. Owning it has been a learning excercise in dealing with rusted and corroded parts. I really feel a lot of sympathy for you folks dealing with rust every day. It massively complicates every job!
The white LWB is really clean with no real rust to speak of. Lots of body dings though. It's just a reliable daily driver. (Touch wood)
i have the 4 Rovers at the moment, plus a parts D2 and then my buddies matching black RRC LWB and that ace equipped black D2 with the blown engine that I told you about, so there's 7 in my shop in total.
