I notice in the Rover booklet that they provide automatic chassis lubrication (Bijur). With our scheme one has to press a pedal every 100 miles, which I should imagine is very often neglected, and therefore the full XXXX automatic scheme seems preferable.

If one can have it on an inexpensive car like the Rover, I am wondering why westill adhere to the other scheme.

Would you please let me know, and also what you are plannning for the future.
