Hi there, My Rover is now in the Rover shop here in Sydney getting the 5 speed manual gearbox installed. Interestingly my mechanic advised against installing thermo fans suggesting that my existing radiator will work better than the electric fans (once they find the reason why the car is...

Hi there, My standard 3 speed auto box on my 1976 P6 3500 is sounding very sick and I am now going to move to have a 5 speed manual gearbox installed. I would appreciate any hints and advice on what to look out when installing 5 speed manual gearboxes. I am assuming that there will be blank...

Thanks for the comments guys............I do not want to drive my car any faster....I just want to have the ability to stop a little bit better.

Hi there, As part of the ongoing modification to my 1976 3500 P6 I would like to consider upgrading the brakes so that they will better handle my engine upgrade that will add a significant amount of additional power to my car. I would appreciate advice on what others have done to significantly...

Speed humps are an increasing reality in the land of OZ........but will never stop good hearted folks from enjoying motor carriages travelling at a height lower than that stipulated in the owners manual.........a combination of using alternative roads, reducing ones speed over the dreaded hump...

Hi there, You asked if there were any problems with the front end bottoming out? The answer is NO......and I lowered my car 2" in the front........however I did have problems with the car bottoming out in the rear and that was with 1.5" lower......so I brought the level up 1/2" (to 1" lower...

Hi Jonny, I have successfully lowered my 1976 P6 V8 courtesy of some great advie from this site.......one of the readers in NZ had lowered his car and the advice that he gave was great. I measured my car against other standard P6 Rover in Sydney and the rear is now 1" closer to the ground via...

Hi Chris...Hi Dave, Thanks so much for your insights into the challenge of fitting improved tyre width and selection onto my car....I just knew that there would be "ISSUES" with this project !!!! I do not want to start widening the guards as I am keeping the car as stock looking as I can (see...

I want to improve the tyre performance on my 1976 3500 P6 and plan to have the 14" wheels widened to take a Michelin XMI 215/65 x 14 tyre. I do not want to go to a bigger wheel diameter as I really like my original wheel covers which look very retro and even better with the thin 1/2"...

Getting my 4 doors central locked seemed to be very straightforward for the 2 shops that gave me quotes. Both shops were of the view that the boot would be a challenge and thus it proved so for the shop that I eventually went with. GULLY (In Sydney)

Hi Guys, Thanks for the interest in my topic. I am trying to be able to simply push the button on my central locking remote and be able to unlock the boot as I walk up to the car. Being able to have the boot unlock AND release itself remotely is nice but NOT a big deal for me. Regards...
