New Rover Owner.... Advice??

Also... regarding the stereo. Mine wont acknowledge the disc changer. I can hear the changer doing its thing, but when I switch modes it only displays am, fm1, fm2. No cd.
And the bigger issue, my speakers dont seem to work. I can hear one in the back, kinda sounds like a sub, but thats all.

You have a couple of options.
Replace the head unit with a new aftermarket unit.
Remove the amp and see if it is repairable.
Buy a used LR amp.
I replaced my head unit.

I wouldn't jump to the conclusion that the amp is toast quite yet but I would agree that it sounds as thought the amp isn't doing what it is supposed to for some reason. there maybe a few reasons why

good to know... I looked up the hose and it was around 75 bucks. I'm not in a hurry to replace it, but atleast its simple.
I'm going to look into the stereo more this week. If all fails, I'll get an aftermarket head unit.... will a good one run all of the speakers? and is the amp in the stock head unit I take it??

I had to replace the CDL switch on mine to get the light to engage. That was after totally going thru the CDL linkage replacing most of the little parts due to extreme corrosion binding the shift mechanism.
Here's a good IPB of the system showing what I am talking about:

Rover's North is another excellent source of the correct parts at good prices. I use them as my primary source of new parts and all they do is Rovers, they all drive a variety of Rovers, have a great on-hand inventory and all of their staff are extremely knowledgeable and happy to help you. Give them a call with any questions you have. I usually look at their web pages and get them on the phone at the same time. I don't think you will find a better source for maintaining your Rover. I have made several purchases from them with no problems.
I had a Ram Charger myself in the early 80's, what a beast. Your Suzuki sounds interesting also. I am sure you will also enjoy your Rover. Best Wishes.
