Guess what i had to do on new years day? go round to my brother in-laws & fix his 1992 rover416 which wouldn't start! I'm sure you can all imagine how much i wasn't looking forward to that job, thankfully i either 'jiggled' the right wire(s) or it was a temporary fault which is now cured. To be fair the car has been bomb proof reliable for them with only the bodywork letting it down (it looks f**kin dire!
) however it's MOT runs out at the end of Jan & they're considering getting something else, I'm hoping it will be PSA derived so i stand some chance of being able to fix it

Orion, if memory serves, the only good thing about them was the box which allowed the rear screen heater to be the aerial.
I remember people digging around in scrap yards for them.
That's the one - he had half a dozen ECUs in it under warranty before he gave it back to them.
I had an Orion many years ago, bought it from a scrappy for £125.00 i think & it was mega reliable, think i sold it a dodgy kid for about £45 after buying a 2ltr sierra & for the record, a Ferrari F40 is on my 'lottery' wish list (along with many other cars)
Music keeps me going.
