Later model RRC's came with a emissions warning system that is preset at different times to tell the owner to get the emissions system serviced. To do this it lights a red light on the dash that reads "Service Engine". If you dont know this you will spend you lunch break crawling all around your Rover at Steak and Shake looking for the cause. Well now I have the steps for resetting or totally disabling the system all together, saving you your lunch break.
First thing to do is remove the kick plate and trim from around the seat and pull down the carpet on the back. Look under the seat and you will spot a brown box about a inch wide and two inchs long. Heres a picture.
Now the next part is easy. To rest the system take a nail and stick it into the hole on top to you feel the relay reset. Do this with the key off. If you are like me an couldnt care less about emissions control just remove the relay all together and it will never be a problem again. Heres a picture of the hole on top of the control box.
Hey there, I'm trying to follow your instructions for this, but I'm not finding the brown box. Couple of questions, I have a 95 4.0 SE. Do your instructions apply to that model? Which seat are you talking about? Thank you.

Guys, I am needing to reset my engine light and I can not find the brown box. The pictures on the page aren't loading or are expired. Does anyone have pictures of this they would like to update? Thanks.
you may be able to reach it without removing the threshold facia. The box is actually black, and the plug to the harness i believe is brown. Box will tell you a code, reference the code to what needs to be repaired. Then Pull plug, turn off car, let ECU click off (takes a few seconds) reconnect, start up. You will get a reset code on first run but that code will not toss a CEL.

I have a fluid leak in my Power steering pump. I got a new pump that is marked ANR2003
This pump is not similar to my old pump. Is it still possible to use this pump on my engine if i source the correct
brackets, pulley and hoses ?
It looks like it is difficult to find a new pump that is...
Hello all,
I’ve got serious clutch issues at the moment. Only about 1cm of action at the floor of the pedal, a leak at the slave and possibly the master. Looking to just replace them both.
Can anyone offer part numbers that would work for my ‘79 V8 with and LT95? Not real easy to find. I THINK...
My 3.9 efi seems to be smelling unusually rich. No running issues to suggest this and plug colour is good but smells a little more potent than I'd like. I know these engines are not the most efficient fuel burners before anyone tells me!
I have a 1995 3.9 that stalls when the car is revved sharply (even when stationary) or under braking or turning when coasting. I seem to replace the idle air control valve every couple of months which is bad enough but now it seems more abrupt than ever. I can start the car and let it idle...
