Does anyone have a defective brake slave cylinder to a late 3500 in the garage? I dont need a complete cylinder, just a little valve that i probably lost in the grass. :cry: :cry: :cry:

My slave cylinder does not look like that. :) Does anyone have a exploded picture of the slave cylinder (dual line)?

Hello again! I´m now overhauling the slave cylinder, i´m sure that i hav memorized it correct, but now i have my doubts. :? I have fitted the seals on the piston in the bottom of the cylinder, but it looks wrong. :( The seal nearest the spring has the lip pointing toward the spring, but on...

Where did you buy seals for the booster/slave cylinder? I´ve been looking on ebay and Rover classics, but did not find anything for the slave cylinder.

I have no idea what brake fluid was in it as i cleaned the reservoirs. The reason that i would fix the hydraulic system now, was that i would try to get out the pistons in front callipers, as they are stuck, i tried with air pressure, but that did not work. Maybe a grease nipple and grease...

The car is sold in Sweden.

There was all kinds of shit in the brake fluid, the car has been standing for more than 10 years, and the in one of the reservoirs had "melted" in the brake fluid. I saw no bolts or änything att the slave cylinder/servo, and my useless manual does not mention it att all. I have no trusty helper...

I´m working on my 3500 ´74 which has been standing over many years, the brake fluids were impossible to describe (yak) and the pistons in the front calipers are stuck. Now i´ve cleaned both reservoirs and have brake fluid to the slave cylinder, but nothing to the front wheels. I have no fluid to...

I bought a complete new set, along with new camshaft, tappets, chain and sprockets. :)

Thanks, then i have nothing to be nervous about. :D

It may be a stupid question, but i´m about to get new tires to my Rostyles, but suddenly started doubting that they will be airtight with tubeless tires, as they are riveted together. :oops:

I just ordered the budget kit, but with camshaft for 3.9 EFI, and they even had the pushrods i need to a very reasonable price, noww i just have to wait for the postman to come next week. :D

As you se in my "bend pushrods thread" i´m in need of a new camshaft and timing gear, but what shall i buy? As i have some other cars the P6 will only be driven maybe 2000 miles/year so if it lasts 50000 miles it will last more than the rest of my lifetime, this means that "the worst" maybe is...

You got a point, and i checked around a little, lubrication seems to be an issue on these engines. I even found a couple of budget priced kits on ebay for about £150 including everything i need (except pushrods), and considering how little the car is to be driven every year (maybe 2000 miles) it...

I havent thought so much about that, are these camshafts so lousy quality? I´ve owned cars with 150k miles on the clock without problems other than blown head gaskets (Ford Scorpio and Jaguar XJ40) and these camshafts were ok.
