Here is a link to a folder full of pictures including lots of the original build where it was transformed from a scrap standard 3500s into what it is today. The car is now dry stored and offers over £3,000 are welcome. The rust spots are the drivers side sill and a couple of small patches in the...

For sale to fund a new business venture so cash sale only please. 1972 Rover P6 that has been modified and now runs with a 3.9 Rover V8 on an Edelbrock 500 4 barrel carb from an American Muscle car. Running a 5 speed manual gearbox (lt77) instead of the original 4 speed and the car was...

Ive only noticed its lower in one corner than the others since having the car sat on drive up car ramps over the winter. Im thinking its more of a sagging shock than a broken spring as you cant hear any knocking or clonking either when you drive or when standing next to the car and pushing on...

Thanks for the replies guys, yeah will have a proper look underneath when Im next at the shed, was just thinking if it needs new springs, was wondering what other options there could be. It is modified and using bigger wheels than orginal, but I dont want to lower it too much if any as that will...

Having finally sorted the oil leak on my P6, I took it for a spin round the block at the weekend and discovered it looks lower on the drivers side rear corner than the passenger side. It seems to be abit more 'wollowy' on the road too. Im pretty new to the P6, but when the car was restored by...

Turns out even the upgraded gears were too tight in the timing cover too so just went back to the original ones and cut the long bolts down so we could use 10mm sockets and spanners. Seems oil tight so far!

Yeah will do. I have 2 different length bolts (some of each length) with the kit but neither fit past the filter casing.

Hi guys, got an upgraded oil pump kit to fit onto my V8 to hopefully cure a leak and improve the oil system. But Im having a problem with the longer bolts that came with the kit. One that goes in behind the oil filter housing is too long to physically fit into the hole as you are coming in at an...

IM DECIDING TO KEEP THIS NOW, SO ITS NOT FOR SALE AT THE MOMENT, SORRY! Im assuming the seats are from a p-reg kind of age Fial Coupe. The guy that built it had his workshop just round the corner from a car breakers so Im guessing it got them from a there. They are very comfy and hold you in...

Possibly deciding to sell my modified P6 Rover V8, only as I may have found a car that Ive always wanted and wouldnt be able to keep both! Full sale will depend on weather I actually purchase the other car or not as I haven't viewed it yet, but thought I would list this P6 now to gauge possible...

Hope the pic makes more sense, the earth wire is green, and the other one (yellow with black heat shrink on) is the one with the spade connector on it. Just assumed that was the one that goes on the sensor as the connector fits thats all but will try them the other way round. I have changed the...

Hi guys, need some help with getting my temp gauge to work. its never worked since Ive had the car and with summer here its probably one of the most important dials so need to get it working really! I have 2 wires at the sensor end on the engine, but only 1 spade on the actual sensor. I plug...

Cheers for the help guys, thats the next job to do then!

Cool, cheers. Yeah that sounds a good plan to me!

How do you get them re-calebrated then? I think the sender cable has come off when we was last underneath it as I was driving home from the workshop when the speedo just fell back to 0. I havent been underneath since and have just used a satnav to see what speeds Im doing at what revs and...
