    Diff carrier bushes

    thats if Murphy's law came into being and all nuts dropped off at the same time. Besides , am I the only guy that checks all nuts are in place each day before taking the car out of the garage? I am OCD ,

    Diff carrier bushes

    I have my carrier bolts facing downwards. My logic told me the bolt would remain if the nut came loose

    1972 P6 V8 - The Lush

    If you do go down the SD1 cannister route , just be aware the larger throat will hit the top of the carburettor tower. May be a lump of rubber between the two will absorb that wear point. I also had to redrill the two holes on the frame that fit on the pegs at the back of the motor. Otherwise...

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

    I converted to electronic ignition years ago. Better starting on the starter motor -within seconds, easier on the battery, smoother running , better spark plug life, better acceleration, better fuel economy. Bigger smile Forget lite weight starter motor !! esp if it aint broke. - go e-ignition...

    The P6 cannister takes the bigger A1705 filters but it is still restricted with the narrower inlet port c/f the SD1 cannister. As I dont do high speed motoring much nowadays ,I stuck with the P6 cannister. She does breathe and accelerate better Im sure of that.

    Oil Sump Pan Removal

    I removed my P6b sump years ago. Cant remember having to remove the exhausts. I do remember the bolts under the cross member made me cross.

    No power to starter from key? 1969 auto P6

    Ive just ,in the matter of weeks, just been through almost the same scenario as you. In my case the would engine shutdown but it would restart intermittently on the key. Very scary when driving the motorway and she turns off. After many dead end investigations , I ended up pulling the whole...

    Throttle coupling replacement

    Ive had to replace mine once recently. I think after 50 odd years of service ,Im not going to grumble. The only piss off was it broke on a busy motorway and a long way from home.

    Oil pressure

    A long flathead screwdriver driven by an electric drill. Dont know what direction to drive though. You will need someone in the cabin to read your dash gauge so you will know when to stop.

    1972 P6 V8 - The Lush

    I went the same route with the bigger filters. Used some securing bolts out of an SD1 filter box. Same difference as yours. No nuts falling into the inlet. My imagination ? , but Im sure she runs better . By the way for those in the Antipodes -RYCO A1705 are the ones.
