Another look through our Antipodean friends' website turned up a second lowered V8 P6B with a painted set of the same alloys as on the lary gold pimpmobile. A little more reserved this one, a nice grey/brown colour. Anybody identify it? An Australia-only colour, or a one-off paintjob? Looks like...

I've wasted countless wet winter hours searching the web for some alloys that would actually look good on my P6, but to no avail. Yesterday evening I stumbled across a photo on the Rover Car Club of Australia's website, shows a seriously low P6B V8 sporting a shiny copper gold metallic paintjob...

Thanx for running out into the cold and dark for me! Now I've just got to firgure out how to get a Windscreen over to the former East German capital without breaking it or my bank!

Hello fellow Forum vusers Can anybody tell me what numbers identify a 'Sundym' green-tinted windscreen? Do the follwing numbers sound like the right ones? tf22 & m112 Hope somebody can shed some light. ???

The previous owner of my V8 had replaced the standard mechanical fuel pump with a Facet 'Silver Top' electric pump, mounted in the front of the engine compartment behind the left headlights, and with the new fuel lines running beneath a bit of aluminium 'baffling' (?) to try and reduce...

As far as I know the 3500 front bumper is different. There is a 'cut-away' section out of the underside, to clear the bigger valance of the V8s, as you suspected. I think the overriders are common though.

Hello fellow P6 Forum users I recently moved to Berlin, Germany, where I own the only 1973 3500 Auto in (mostly*) Arctic White. It has a black vinyl roof including a sliding steel sunroof, which has been re-vinyled by a previous owner. The vinyl is cracked at the rounded corners of the sunroof...

After having some difficulty starting my 3500Auto on a cold morning I opened the bonnet. At the next attempt to start the motor loads of red power steering fluid began to spray forcefully out of the red top on the reservoir! It carried on spewing out fluid like a fountain for three or four...

Thanks everybody who posted useful suggestions. I'm mobile again! A 24hr slow charge provided my battery with enough oomph to spark the old girl into life. Now I suppose I have to check if the alternator is working properly or whether there is a bad earth somewhere... Might my tilt/slide...

I found the link again...: http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/Show/2505/supercha.html Very interesting!

Hi. Can't find the link now, typically, but scour the web and there is or was a very detailed technical account of an SD1 in which the owner had installed a blower, without it poking through the bonnet. It was a remote mounted blower... I think it was a modern unit too... If I find the web...

I'm stuck without a mechanic in frozen cold Berlin, Germany! My battery shows 12volts at the terminals. It should too, it's only 14 months old! The starter motor solenoid just clicks rapidly and very loudly like machine gun fire. What do I check for next? What equipment or tools do I need? I can...
