Thanks Rich. That's where I did think I should have a look. I'm going down to my parking space right now. Willy, the wear on tyres is OK, although they are new from when I bought the car. They have not covered more than 3.000 Km since then, so it's difficult to find irregularities on the track...

Hi guys. I'd need to do some wheel alignment on Ruby. When I first laid down on the ground looking for the usual steering rod and nut I found nothing! I guess alignment should be done through anywhere in the engine bay, whilst not sure how to do it. The steering wheel is a bit misaligned, not...

Hi Stefan. What I did was to put two old speakers on the rear shelf. Easy and cheap... if you find them. viewtopic.php?f=16&t=6300&p=44687&hilit=Shazzbat#p44687 As I said some years ago, I at least hope to provide you with some ideas for your task ahead. Regz PS By the way, cars in...

Something similar is happening to me Stefan. Fortunately everything else is working more or less OK, whilst I have never been able to set the wiper delay in perfect condition. It works, and we can even say that the governer works... its way! It's unable to keep wiping frequency. Sometimes it...

Hahahaha, I find Transexl's post very interesting for two main reasons: a) I imagine that post translated into German and... well, never heard a swearword in German... for sure it must be very resounding! b) Here in the South we always think that people in the North are always wiser, more...

Bah, prats alike are spread all over the world. It's a general plague. Sometimes I miss in my Pathfinder some James Bond 007's devices, as rocket launchers for instance. Regz

Very nice pics. Wish having been there with Ruby. One question, mainly to feed my curiosity. Does that "H" at the end of some numberplates stand for "Historic"? Regards

Hello wise guys. I have a (hope) little problem with my much beloved Ruby (P6 2200 SC 1973). Strip type speedo. Sometimes the engine comes off when idling with no apparent reason and then refuses to start again. All the lights are OK and the starter spins correctly and powerful, but the engine...

Do not think he's going to sell it out any soon. Regz

I saw a similar joke some years ago, but under Spanish purview. Bearing in mind that Spanish is far more resounding than English, you can imagine how awkward the result was. My eyes still hurts. Regz

32 quid the pair is more than cheap. I would go for it. I paid 30 for only one. It is not difficult to fit them to the doors, while much better if possible to get any help from friends or family. Be careful with position on the doors, not only so that mirrors are useful, but also to keep...

Well, eventually I fitted a radiator taken out from a SEAT (FIAT) 124. It's a three core one and it seems to work fine. It's not important the engine displacement, but the radiator capacity, and that of the SEAT is higher than that of the P6. Also this SEAT's is well cared and the old Rover's...

After a short visit to the workshop this morning, we agree to look for a radiator which could be suitable for the car. We think that we have found a good one in the scrapyard, coming from a FIAT 124. That of the FIAT 131 will be even better as water capacity is higher, but still looking for one...

Hello James. My P6 is a 2200 SC first registered in January 1974. It's manual while the engine was swapped some years ago for one corresponding to an automatic model. They are identical apart from gearbox connection. Hoses were changed by that date, around three years ago. Thermostat is new. I...

The owner of the scrapyard is looking for something, while, to be honest, I do not expect any success. The gauge works perfectly. This summer we drove along a mountain pass 1500 m over the sea level (35º outside) and when the gauge reached the red zone, I stopped the car and she started to give...
