Rover 25 rev counter high
Model Year: 2002
Categories:
Electrics, ECU, Warnings & Lights
Have had my Rover 25 since november,and it has been fine. I've been driving a couple of miles to and from work daily with no problems. Recently drove from Bristol to Liverpool,the car was fine all the way along the motorway,then when arrived noticed a high revving noise when put into 1st and then reverse. I drove back and noticed the rev counter had increased when in high gears,apart from that there were no other problems. I'am not very mechanical,so just wondering what the problem could be!!.

If you call into garage and ask them to road test car , they should verify if clutch is slipping or not . Then if clutch is slipping , it's a case of getting new clutch assembly fitted .If that's the case , you would be advised to get a few quotes on price before going ahead as prices could vary quite a lot .Could check yellow pages and see if any clutch centres in your area . Hope this helps you .

if the clutch is slipping it will do it in all other gears under load,common fault on these over revving was caused by throttle housing,check the stepper motor setting

Thought you said it was doing it in all gears "1st and then reverse. I drove back and noticed the rev counter had increased when in high gears, " that's why suggested clutch .

If engine revving and power loss , suspect clutch slip . If just engine revving and no power loss , stepper motor ? Hope this clears it up a bit more for you .
