No idea, I will do some googling. Thanks.

When I bought my Rover P6 2000 TC it had a seized engine, while it was soaking in diesel I set about buying new ignition parts for it, such as a new cap, points etc. When it was unseized, these new parts and some fettling got it running a treat. I have since sold the P6 and recently bought a...

Thanks Tonys, that page was superb, I now know its a 1956 Rover 60 and it was engine number 1340 from a production run of 1807 in that year. Regards, Karl.

Speaking of chassis numbers, do anyone have a VIN check web site for P4s ? I have been offered a P4 but the guy selling it hasn't a clue and won't take any photos, he has just given me the VIN. Thanks, Karl.

My missing throttle parts arrived today from Win International and I have just fitted them. I am now sorted. Thanks to everyone who helped, especially Demetris. Regards, Karl.

Latest holes are just pin holes near downpipe so I am going to try some Holts Gun Gum. Only £3 off eBay, will see how that works.

Oh well, it looks like they are made out of Unobtainium so I might have to fire up the blow torch again :-) Thanks.

Mine has been welded up so many times, I think its just a collection of patches welded together now :-) I see several folks have placed Wanted ads for them over the years so I am not holding out much hope. Its for a car I am restoring, so not terribly urgent but I can't tune the carbs properly...

Does anyone have a P6 2000 TC downpipe, mine is rotten and just blown out 2 holes. I now have a nice tractor :-) Thanks, Karl.

Demetris, Thanks for confirming my suspicions. I've got everything I need now to fit the missing throttle components which will be here in a day or two. Regards, Karl.

Thanks Vern.

Demetris, I have an additional favour to ask of you, one of the photos is a bit unclear and I was hoping for another shot from a different angle. I have attached a photo of the rear carb with a red box round the part I am curious about. It appears to be a U shaped support that cradles the...

I have already tried them, I sent them an email with all the photos etc. They got back to me and said that these are Rover specific parts. I tried Wins International and they have all the parts I need, a bargain at £76 delivered. Thats the 2nd time they have helped me with hard to find P6...

The attached image shows the parts I need, outlined in red. The numbers are from the Haynes Manual Exploded Diagrams. 97 - Countershaft & Lever 98 - Coupling 101 - Plain Washer 102 - Circlip 62 - Throttle Lever 63 - Nut 10 UNF 99 - Roller 100 - Circlip 18 - Accelerator Coupling Shaft Assembly...

Thank you to everyone who helped and took the time to reply to my query. I am on the hunt now for this long shaft, I am hoping its an HS8 part not a P6 part. Does anyone have one ? Regards, Karl.
