If you just need to add the correct text, get a good quality photo of the label and, using Photoshop (or similar program), remove the Leyland address and add the Rover address text using an appropriate font and size. The final photo can be used to produce the sticky label. I can recommend a...

That's a logical possibility. I checked my records and in fact the pads were replaced about 1000 miles ago. I can't remember when the noise started - it's been a fair few miles and might have coincided with the pads replacement. I think I'll leave it for a while and see if it quietens down.

Fair point. I had front and rear doors open and a good through draught; plus it was only for a couple of minutes. CO will sit in the pit though, so don't leave the car idling for ages whilst underneath!

I did wonder about that, but I'd of thought the noise would be persistent rather than disappear after a few miles.

It's a deep pit - no ducking required;)

I got the car over the pit and checked the condition of brake pads on both sides. All were good with plenty of meat left, as I expected. Also got my wife to drive backwards and forwards whilst I was underneath listening for where the noise comes from. No joy, it was probably too low speed and I...

Thanks Ron. As you say, could be a few things really. The pads have been replaced not so many miles ago, but I'll check their condition. I think I'll get my wife to drive the car backwards and forwards over the pit while I'm underneath so I can try and pinpoint where the noise is coming from...

I'm posting this in brakes section, although the issue may well be in hub, drive shaft or diff area. A noise is emanating from the rear offside which is a scraping sound at walking pace but becomes a squeaking at normal road speed. The noise has a frequency which increases with road speed. The...

Thanks Vern. Upon investigation of the air valve assembly I found the diaphragm support missing - the bit that has the pushrod. I had changed this previously as the helper spring and main spring were broken; in fact the new one did not come with the helper spring. ( I've seen forum posts that...

My brake servo isn't working, as evidenced by the brake pedal test and having to press really hard on the brake pedal to stop the car. Having stripped down the servo the only thing I can find that may be the cause was the air valve piston which was stuck in the bore of the slave cylinder...

Thanks Harvey. Fingers crossed then!

Thanks for pointing out Harvey. I have an 11AC alternator. Is the bracket for the 18ACR adaptable to allow the 11AC to fit?

Hi, I need an alternator mounting bracket for my P6B. The old one has a cast stamp: Birmal 614433. Peter

I used the Furniture Clinic. They have a complete range of products to repair holes, cracks, scuffs and will match colours (from a supplied patch) to enable a full refurbishment back to as new. I had to repair cracks and scuffs, but also decided to re-colour the whole interior, including the...
