i have an L Reg Rover 214 with the stereo that I think came with the car when it was new. one of the speakers in the back is very rattley and tinny, even when the radio is on low volume. would it be easy to fix and if so how do i do it?

The speaker is definitely blown. Make sure that the new one that you buy is the same size as the old one, unless you want to cut bigger holes in the door trim, assuming that the speaker will not foul the internal door mechanisms.
To replace it you need to prise off the plastic mesh cover with a wide screwdriver. Then remove the retaining screws (most cars use either 4 or 6) from the outer perimeter of the speaker. Lift the speaker away from the door trim panel. Remove the two wires (on spade terminals) from the back of the speaker, they should be different sizes so refitting them to the new speaker will be easy. Get the new speaker and plug in the wires. Carefully put the speaker into the trim panel, lining up the mounting holes with the old ones. If the holes do not line up then you will need to drill new ones and put the retining clips over them (just like the old ones). Once aligned refit the screws. Press the new speaker cover firmly over the speaker until it snaps into place. Job done.

that speaker you are referring is blown. factory speaker blow easy. when you replace it make sure you a higher quality speaker in. it will last longer, sound better, and just the music better. replace both when you do this to keep the sound quality the same. however, the speaker in the back is hard to change out but it will be worth it. you are looking to spend about 100 dollars on these. try "best buy" if you have in your area.(good sales)

Speaker may be damaged. Replace the factory speakers with one of your choice.
