Take it to your local car audio specialists and they should be able to decode it for you. I can remember this costing about a tenner a number of years ago.

Depending on the age, if you go to you local rover dealer thwey should be able to find it with the chassis number.

Unless you find a 'nice' Rover dealer, they will just laugh at you! OR say that'll be £30 plus vat:eek::eek:
Just go online on ebay and get it direct via email for a fiver.
Email seller with question and radio details first to ensure he can do it (I know many friends who have had codes via ebay - cheaper (relatively, no getting in car to waste fuel to go to non helpful dealer:laugh:) and easier!
Here's one, but I would do a search on ebay, just key in 'Rover Radio Code' and you might find one for less that a fiver.

Or of course you can buy another radio cass online (very cheap now - Rover Phillips rad/cass can be got for less than a tenner!) AND with a code, to replace yours, then ebay yours for a fiver!

AND with a code, to replace yourstbh that depends which model you want. If you want a specific model which either wasn't common to begin with or which was common but was the first thing to be skipped in favour of something better (like the Motorola AM radio from the early 80s), you can wait a surprisingly long time for one to turn up.
Unless you're sad like me and you really must have the original radio in the car for originality (well, in two out of the three...), the Bay of Eeee-ness is a source of hundreds of radios, radio-cassettes and radio-cds :)
