My Dear Boy Richard, So sorry to hear of your ill health, hope you remember me, still motoring in my dotage! Still driving a roadster, but sadly not a Rover! Please recover soon, your family needs you more than the website or ROC does. Regards, Auntie Madge

Only just read this sad news as I rarely visit the P6 Forum these days but very sad to here of Eric's demise - We corresponded on several occasions, as fellow members and RO's, and I still have some Icelert parts he kindly sent me many years ago. I hope he's at peace and my thoughts are with his...

As a P6 owner for many years, and several cars (born in Bristol, now living in Cardiff) I would try to be there, albeit in my Triumph Stag unless anyone objects? Regards, John.

Gareth, I think that I have 4 brand new hydraulic lifters in my garage if you haven't bought any yet? Regards, John.

Hello Gareth, I still have the thermostatic switch arrangement from when I fitted the Kenlowe to my Three Thousand Five as I just used an on / off switch so if you want yours to work via thermostat let me know - You can have it for a reasonable fee. Regards, John.

harveyp6, the SD1 heads I have are from my brother's early SD1 that "dropped a rod" many years ago - I have stripped the valves from one head and, although the wear is not too bad, I would say that they (both) need an overhaul, i.e new guides, valves lapped and new springs. I don't want a lot...

Hello Gareth, do you have a pair of SD1 heads? If not, I have a pair you could have for a modest sum. Regards, John.

Jonas, not a big problem, it will last much longer than the recommended change intervals, it's something that I would do every 5 years based on a small annual mileage of 3000 or so. The level is important tho' Regards, John.

Hello Dave, S & F means sincerely and fraternally (It's a masonic term) Hope this helps Regards, John.

Stan, have sent you an e-mail directly re: P6 PARTS. Regards, John

Hello Chris, this is exactly as I did on LRV501G, I even made a circular label to match the HRW switch ! Sadly, I don't have a photograph of this but the new owner Dom (eadmr04 on this forum) may be able to help! Regards, John

Stan, if you send me a personal mesage with your e-mail address I will send you the files directly. Regards, John,

Hello Stan, yes, that was me and, thanks to a forum member, I have now got one! Roll on the warmer weather so that I may fit it! Regards, John.

Colin / Chris, I must have been fortunate to find a good one then, as it was all complete! I wired mine to the interior / maplight switch and through the door switches, if my memory serves me correctly (perhaps Dom, if he reads this, could confirm?) Colin, thanks for "local" advice re...

How is it in Edinburgh? Can we drive over the Pennines on Sunday? (I hope so as we have 4 days in a **** hotel + upgrade to enjoy! Regards, John.
