Introduction

Every effort has been made in the design of the Rover "60", "75", "90" and "105" to reduce the amount of attention which the owner must devote to upkeep; this manual provides all the information necessary for periodic maintenance attention. The cars are very similar in design, differences being noted at appropriate points in the text.
For ease of reference, it is divided into three distinct sections:
Section A describes the driving controls and includes general information to assist in operating the car to the best advantage.
Section B deals with all the maintenance items.
Section C gives details of the facilities offered by our Service Department.

Although the instructions have been made as simple and clear as possible, there may be occasions when the owner finds himself in some difficulty, in which case reference should be made to our Service Department (see Section C).
It is well to read this book carefully on receipt of the car, particular attention being paid to the note on keys on Page 10 and the running-in instructions on Page 16.
For the convenience of Rover owners, many of our Distributors and Dealers advertise Rover Service under "R" in the local Telephone Directories.


GUARANTEE
In order to obtain the Certificate of Guarantee for the car, the guarantee form supplied should be filled in and returned by the owner or dealer; failure to return this form may seriously jeopardise any claim on the Company under the terms of the standard guarantee


CAR AND ENGINE SERIAL NUMBERS
The car serial number, comprising nine digits, will be found on a plate attached to the left-hand front door hinge post, visible when the door is open. It is the same as the chassis number, which is stamped on the top of the left-hand chassis side-member above the front road spring.
The full car serial number must be quoted in all correspondence; the registration number of the car is of no use whatever to us.
The engine serial number, which need not be quoted in correspondence, unless specifically asked for, is stamped on the left-hand side of the cylinder block at the front.

NOMENCLATURE
To cater for both right- and left-hand drive models, reference is made throughout the text to the "left-hand" and "right-hand" sides of the car, rather than to "near-side" and "off-side". The "left-hand" side is that to the left hand when the car is viewed from the rear; similarly "left-hand" drive" models are those having the driving controls on the left-hand side, again when the car is viewed from the rear.
In some instances, the abbreviation "L.H.D." is used to denote left-hand drive and "R.H.D." for right-hand drive.

SPECIFICATION
It will be realised that from time to time alterations in design and in the make of various accessories occur and this instruction manual, while being kept up-to-date as far as possible~ is not to be taken as a standard specification. The specification may be altered at any time, without incurring any obligation to incorporate such alteration in cars already delivered.

GENULNE ROVER PARTS
All Rover owners should recognize the importance which attaches to the use of only GENUINE ROVER PARTS or ROVER APPROVED PARTS when repair or maintenance work is being carried out on their cars.
Rover parts are produced to the same high standard as those parts built into the car in its original production, and for this and other reasons it is in their interests that Rover owners should insist that only GENUINE ROVER PARTS or ROVER APPROVED PARTS are fitted to their cars.
