Hello,
I'm Alan and my moniker is HTR. As you can see I'm live in Southern New Zealand and I currently drive a Land Rover Freelander 1. It has the petrol MG Rover K series 1.8 mph motor [18K4F...]. In car interest terms I come from a British car back ground and for many years owned a selection of Rover cars. Ist was a 1962 Rover 3 litre [P5], then a 3.5 litre coupé [P5B], next a 3500 [ P6B] auto followed by a 3500S [P6B]. The last 'Rover was a 2003 Rover 25 K series 1.6 with he CVT. It was that CVT that killed the car for me as the box repair replacement cost was way beyond what the car was worth
otherwise it was a lovely wee car and was fun to drive.
Other Marques I've owned include: '67 Hillman Imp, a mid '70s MkII 2 Litre Ford Capri GT, a late 70's 1600cc Subaru 4WD pick-up [well deck - in Australia I think the were called a Brumby?], A Mitsubishi Galant sedan 1.8 TD [it ran really well!, Toyota town Ace followed by a '94 Toyota Estimate Lucida - turbo diesel & 4WD, late 80's Toyota Celio Sprinter 1.5 [ really a Corolla], a Ford Ka, '94 Suzuki Swift 5 speed and I currently my wife has a 2016 Suzuki Swift auto.
I do most of my own servicing work and I love to tinker. My current project is tweaking K series 1.8 cylinder heads. I'll discuss that more in my next post.
I've really enjoyed that few articles I've read so far, easy to read and understand and informative. Looking forward to reading more. You may also see me post on the MG Rover forum and LandyZone - same moniker
