Thank you James for taking the time to write this brilliant reply.It is very much appreciated.

Hi everyone.I have a 1968 series one 2000tc with the strip type speedometer.I went for a run the other day and everything was good when all of a sudden my Speedo strip disappeared and there was a loud ticking noise coming from the back of the Speedo unit.I am not a mechanic by any stretch of the...

Yes did that.No sign of fluid.Will get a professional to have a look just to make sure

Thanks everyone for your replies.Even more mystified now.Had a good look yesterday after topping up with fluid.I could not find any evidence of fluid leakage on either the master or slave cylinders.Took it out for a run and did about 30 miles.Checked the fluid and it was still full.I think I...

I hope so too.I am going to have a look later.

Thank you.I suspected as much.I will take a look tomorrow.Appreciated.

Hi all.I took my p6 for a run and all was well apart from the fact that the clutch biting point seemed to have dropped.All gears are still engaging but when I removed the top off the clutch master I could not see any fluid in it.Would I get away with just topping it up ? Kind regards Tony.

All I can add Brian is that the new bush I fitted was not pliable at all.It was quite rigid but in my opinion I would repost to give some of the experienced people a chance to help you in case they missed mine.Also if you are on Facebook join the Rover P6 Help,advice and tips page as there are...

Went out in mine yesterday to test it out.All good.A bit noisy as I have only just ordered a new gaiter.Had to stretch the bush over the steel ball to get the new pin to line up.I would think that if the plastic bush was stretched the ball would slip through it.

Don’t know if you are aware his membership name is Harvey P6 and he is a prolific poster on the forum.Always helpful and knowledgeable.I am sure if you send him a message on his profile page he will assist you.Good luck with your car

Thank you.I have just put it back together after a bit of fiddling about and choice language.All gears seem to be selecting so just needs a new gaiter now as other one fell to bits.

Been on holiday.Only got back yesterday.Going to do it later

Good luck.Doesn’t look difficult to be honest.Ordered the new bush and pin from Wadhams and treated myself to some new bolts and washers from Rimmer Bros.

Thanks all.All removed now just awaiting parts.Spherical bush was shot.Third bolt was difficult to remove because a nut had been put on it and was just spinning.
