I have my 75!!!

[Ken]

Hi all
I have done it at last! Today I have traded in my six month old 45 against a nine month old 75 Conn/se with 7000 on the clock. At the moment all I can say is WOW!!!!! What a car!

I have two questions for any of you that could help please.

The first is when ticking over there is an irregular "ticking" noise coming from a pump at the left rear of the engine (looking from front) and when the climate control is switched on the ticking noise becomes louder. This happens if its in auto or econ mode. Its not intrusive but its there, it can't be heard in the car. Is this normal?

The second question is

My brother say's he can hear a slight knocking from the cam followers but its probably normal for this engine and nothing to worry about. Its a 1.8 turbo is this correct? I can hear nothing but he says its there but only slightly. Can anyone put my mind at rest?

Other than these two things nothing can ruin my perfect day! Rover 75? I luv e'm.

I can;t answer your questions although I suspect no. 1 is normal but I wish you many many hours of pleasure driving such a fine car

Thank you for your wishes of many happy hours motoring. I love the car because of its comfort and quietness.
