Rover [R8] 214 or 216, (looks like '216' to me on the rear hatch but I could be wrong.) ...... anyway a 216 would be better for towing a caravan. -- Last edit: 2007-09-08 11:15:37 |

Yes, but not much ... besides, Sunbar, you know our countrymen: they'll try to tow a caravan with damn near anything. That's why our roads get clogged up at holiday times. Still, I think you're right, it does seem to be a 216. |

Caravan towing with a 214? Yes! ALG registration only appears for 'G' and 'M' for R8 model years. Of the possible number sequences H367 ALG comes up with a match...... The vehicle details for H367 ALG are: Date of Liability 01 10 2002 Date of First Registration 03 06 1991 Year of Manufacture 1991 Cylinder Capacity (cc) 1396CC Fuel Type Petrol Vehicle Colour RED HPI shows it to be a Rover 214 SLI -- Last edit: 2007-09-08 15:45:07 |

how did you find that? You tried the 260 possibilities? (or were there much less?) -- Last edit: 2007-09-08 19:02:18 |

You just have to type the first letter and number. The years this car was built in are 1989 to 1999 so that would be a letter in between F and V. The there is the number 1-9 so all you have to do is enter F167 ALG..F267 ALG.. F367 ALG... And so on and if no matches come up you go on to the next letter G and do the same until you get a match |

That's what I mean by "trying all the possibilities". I did not know that for these years it was the first letter that indicates the year, so it reduces the list to 100 combinations... which is still a lot. |
