yes, but therefore I should have a pit or bridge. To start with, I'm gonna try to construct something so I can bring the car up at men's middle height. About 1m heigh. Will see if I can fix that :P

Well thanks, that's a good reason for NOT doing that! It's only some friends of me who are a bit blinded by the letter "V" in enginespecs :lol: So now I have a good argument to tell :wink:

Time to post again something in here. Last Tuesday we tried to turn around the crankshaft by hand. But it won't move. We folded an 1/2" bar, and the 90° corner of our key exploded in 2 pieces after we used an 1/2" bar of a stronger material. So the thing that I was the most affraid of when I...

I presume tipping Diesel down the plug holes has the same purpose as I did with WD40? Actually I don't now if WD40 is a well known product in the UK :?: I didn't know about the bowl in the piston heads. Maybe I need to spray some more in it :)

If I try to turn the fan, the belt slips over the pulley of the crankshaft. Plugs are offcourse out at the time. So we think the segments of one (or more) cilinderheads is stuck. We sprayed already in each hole of the plug some WD40. The car stood still for 25 years. Everything in the car...

Fast small question where I don't want to start a new thread for: What size of key (is this also called this way in English?) do I need for the bolt on the end of the crankshaft. In mm I think it's 34, 35, 36mm or something. It's for turning the engine/cilinders by hand. I don't have the tools...

Yes, it's much much better than I had expected when I bought it :D Still, I have to say. On the rear right jack point (is that the correct term?) it's also rotten, and on the front left jack point it's also pretty rotten. But besides that, the body is in good condition (so far) 8) I hope the...

What we did today: Close look to the "De Dion" suspension Front suspension Rotten on the inner right side Rotten on the inner left side Removed completely rotten sills on left and right side Right rear wing removed. NB: The left wing is also almost removed. Only the bolt on the...

Wow, thanks! You can beat someone to dead with a manual like that!! :mrgreen: EDIT: We bought it and we should receive it in a couple of days :)

Can someone tell me what kind of seats we have? Because for the backseat on the right side, I will have to look for a replacement. The stitches are all gone, and so is the structure of the leather. If I restitch it, the first time someone will sit on it. It will break again.

Hi, Yesterdag was the first day there was sun, good temperature. No more freezing or snowing. So we got our hands dirty and did the first things on our Rover. Washing, removing interior parts and curious as we are. Attached a battery and tested al the elektric stuff :lol: Look how dirty it...

I know the snow in Belgium is peanuts compared to the snow in the UK. But nevertheless. Here some pictures of the "snowstorm" we had yesterday. :D http://sneeuwpret.muziekkot.be/#0.5

Tody I've got the freshly made key for the Rover. And it fits perfectly. So me and my girlfriend are very happy right now!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: Now we can steer the Rover into his garage (after the snowstorm is passed :roll: ) @Mark Gray: Thank's for the offered help to find a match for...

Good news!! Today I went to a company that distribute machines to copy keys for all kind of purposes. I gave them my unlock number. They have putted the code in their computer and BANG, a CAD-drawing for my P6 came on the screen. :mrgreen: Still they have to order de blank key in Holland. I'm...

Wow, what a collection!! *jealous* :P
