    What are this speedodrive from?

    It is just sitting held in by that fork. So it is a temporary solution that has worked fine for me the last 4 years. And it is a speedo drive for an automatic gearbox. I have bought a new same type speedo drive from Wins and will fit that. Hopefully it will all work fine again.

    What are this speedodrive from?

    Ok, So it is quite easy to get hold of then I assume. Thank you for that. I am travelling to England on thursday and plan to visit Wins, he might have it. But do you know if it is common to attach it to an LT77 box with a fork? regards, Barten

    What are this speedodrive from?

    My 3500s with 5 speed gearbox lost it speedometer readings this summer on a long trip. I was wondering what different solutions there are for speedometer read-out for SD1 gearbox and P6 speedometer.

    Over the hills and far away

    I use some silicone spray in the handbrake gaitor when i have to remove the console. Makes it alot easier to slide the handbrake through the gaitor.

    Has anyone installed a powerline starter motor to a Rover V8 engine in a P6?

    Thanks Quattro, I have the same manifolds as you. I have managed to squeeze in the original Lucas starter motor, but it is a very tight fit. I have had my manifolds ceramic coated too, inside and outside. Still seem very hot down there. The outlets from the manifolds are not coated, so maybe I...

    Has anyone installed a powerline starter motor to a Rover V8 engine in a P6?

    No it is not standard exhaust. I have manifolds from RPI and they are very tight. I haven’t tried yet though.

    Broken brake booster?

    Hi Pepijn, I have the same system as you in my 3500s. In my other Rover 3500, i have a single line system. Which has a much more "modern" feel to the brake pedal. Brakes immediately and progressively. I my 3500s I need to really stamp on the brake for it to work properly and it is tiring in the...

    Has anyone installed a powerline starter motor to a Rover V8 engine in a P6?

    I was wondering: do they fit it? and how do they perform. My original starter motor has given up the ghost. It sits very tight and very close to the exhaust manifold so I wonder of something has fried up inside it. It is getting very hot from the exhaust. I was on holiday when the starter...

    3500 wont move!

    I also had that some years ago, it was the diff extension on one side that had broke. On the oppesite side, it had twisted but not broken yet. Some new parts from WINS and effort in my workshop soon rectified the problem.

    P6 overmats

    I am considering buying overmats for my 3500s. The most common company seems to be techautosuk on ebay. I wonder if anyone here has got any experience with their overmats and service please? It would be good to know a little bit about them before I order a set. Thanks in advance! Regards, Barten

    Improving Headlights

    The Holley LED's look very tempting to me. Quite expensive however. I might try another set of H4 /H1 lights before I try this. My Low beam light is absolutely crap.

    looking for a 3500s

    Congratulations! Hope you will be happy with it. It looks fine, and I wonder if it has a new interior? Seems to be different colour on the piping.
