Keeping an eye out for a new car & am looking into the Rover 75 which come with a 2 litre BMW R47R engine.
These cars are cheap to buy, well put together, have lovely old world interiors & powerful & economical BMW engines. I quite like the retro styling.
Looking through the Rover forums I'm astounded at the level of ignorance on the topic of 'will it run on BD'?
The forum's armchair experts predict engine, pump, tank pump, seal, injector & a few other failures if any BD should enter the tank. This prediction of trouble is repeated at length, often & authoritatively while at the same time v. many of them, often the loudest & most frequent posters, clearly do not know the first thing about BD, indeed not even the difference between WVO, SVO & BD!
So, while I'm familiar with our mantra that anything will run on well made BD, has anybody here actually owned & run a Rover 75 on BD100 long term?
If yes, I'd be grateful if you'd tell me about your experience, any precautions it'd be wise to take & any problems you encountered.
Thanks!
