Boldly go where no p6 man has gone before. One small step for man, one giant leap for p6 owners. Basically we choose our cars for the look and style, does it really matter what's under the hood some like the 4 pot, some like the v8, I for one would like to see an electric conversion.

I came across this mini space saver unit from an Oz website, don't know the country of origin of the unit and haven't checked if the measurements make it suitable for in place of factory heater or even fitting inside of factory heater shell as a possibility. Australian Auto Airconditioning...

As v8guy says check the date code on your tyres, if older than 6 years they should be renewed. If it has a 3 digit code they will be too old. Low tyre pressures as stated by manufacturers usually err on comfort setting to compliment springs. I keep my pressures up at 40psi on all my vehicles...

actually i'm sure all P6 bodies were made in UK and shipped to NZ by cutting through the A, B/C, D pillars allowing the upper body above the waistline to be turned upside down and placed inside the lower body half for shipping then rewelded back in place at the Nelson plant. So, an NZ assembled...

According to dates in Mark Websters book "Assembly, New Zealand Car Production 1221-98" all 3500 were built at the NZ Nelson plant, and I don't think any were assembled at any BMC or Leyland plant in Australia. Rover 3500 built for the NZ market were built between May 1971-April 1975, and Rover...

Did any of our eastern seaboard (Australian) members get a chance to go to the auction? Just wondering how it went.

Hi riddler, demisterman.co.uk has replacement heater matrix, this maybe all you need, but as Clive points out, the internal foam seals deteriorate and more than likely will need replacing plus any rusting of the unit that will need attention. I've not long refurbished my heater unit...

Then Peter, you need; http://sidchrome.com.au/product/13-piece-pro-series-geared-spanners-set-af/ "TORQUEPLUS™ FASTENING SYSTEM Apart from allowing extra torque, TORQUEPLUS™ also reduces the risk of fastener rounding, provides a greater opportunity to turn worn, rounded fasteners and meets...

Ooh, that's a nice green series 2, with those alloys, just how I want mine to look. What green would that be? Mine was originally Arden but has been resprayed by previous owner a lighter unknown shade.

If you use arp stud kit for the crank main caps it is recommended by arp to have the mains tunnel line bored with caps torqued up to the arp torque setting which is higher than standard bolt setting as using arp studs without line boring will distort caps and shells. I had this done on my 3.5...

ditto on the "I would have a Range Rover...", a nice '93 Vogue will do me, never driven a Jag but would like to experience a nice series 2 XJ6, miss the '85 SD1 I used to have so would gladly return to a (again, here's this word "nice") nice series 2 SD1, but currently enjoying a '92 Toyota...

1/4" BSP, I tapped mine as a parallel and fitted some 1/4" BSP plugs rather than the drain taps, they may have originally been tapered in which case you need BSPT, but I only had BSP parallel thread taps on hand. Regards, Scott

I may try these wheelnuts, Grayston Sleeve Wheel Nut & Flat Washer 7/16" UNF 3/4" Sleeve & 0.8" Long Shank | advantage-motorsport.co.uk - shop online to buy racewear race parts rally trackday and motorsport accessories , they are SN31's, my last set of SN31's I sourced from UK were the poor...

a. No, as 11/16" diameter shank (0.687") size is smaller than the 0.700" holes in my alloys. b. Yes, if only I can find a manufacurer of wheel nuts with consistentcy of OD size and concentricity of thread in relation to shank OD I emailed Wrington Engineering Wheel Nuts Home and asked if they...

Hi and welcome Andy, nice colour, nice window tints as well by the looks of it, and the sd1 alloys suit very well. Let me know if you sourced the wheel nuts for these, I'm struggling to find off the shelf wheel nuts to suit the holes for mine. And look forward to more pics, don't know if the...
