I’m moving house and having a good sort out, these are free to a good home. Just message me your name and address and the one you want and I’ll pop it in the post. If you are abroad then I may have to charge you some postage, but happy to stick a second-class stamp on for people in the UK. If...

2000SC. what is the most likely cause do we think here folks. Car runs nicely on the flat, however,up hill …..forget it! Just runs out of omph. I realise there are potentially lots of possible causes, however where do I start? Carb been rebuilt and it was same on the temporary carb I used...

My starter motor spins, very slowly, and lately has got worse since I fitted my new distributor. The car always starts, but it never sounds like it will. However…… if I take the HT Lead off the top of the coil, the starter motor spins the engine around, probably as good as it did when the car...

My Distributor arrives back with me tomorrow, having been rebuilt, and I have a timing light in order to get my timing as accurate as possible. I think this might be a bit of a daft question, but which spark plug lead do I use I’ve been given two different opinions. One person told me it was the...

2000 SC glass bowl fuel pump. is it normal to have bubbles forming in the glass dome on the petrol pump? (This is at very fast idol) I can’t say I’ve never really noticed it before on normal tickover but playing around with my car today on fast idle, I could see bubbles coming and going. Not...

I’ve seen people on social media recommend Etha-Guard classic to help battle the problems of modern fuel. Has anyone on this forum any experience of using this or a similar product? If so, has it proved to be a help or a hindrance?

When I refitted my carburettor last week, I did not put a card gasket between the manifold and the carburettor adapter. Primarily because I don’t think there was one there when I removed it, and it does seem to have a sort of metal gasket on the back of the adapter itself. ( now it is all back...

I just wanted to post a message to say thank you to all the members here that help with technical advice when needed. This forum is a very friendly and useful place to be. I won’t name names as I don’t wish to embarrass anybody, but a member of this forum gave me some advice today off grid so to...

Had this issue for a little while, and recently it’s got worse. I have wildly fluctuating tickover, the revs will go from being far too high (as I turn up the idle speed) to virtually stalling. When I’m driving along if I pull up quickly at a roundabout or set of traffic lights it just wants to...

Does anybody have a cloth black box pleat front seat they would sell me? Either driver or passenger side will do, doesn’t need to be perfect, but mine is threadbare and I can’t seem to find anyone to retrieve it for me I bought this car 38 years ago, and during lockdown did a massive restoration...

I am trying to remember the correct set up for the throttle linkage on the 2000 single carburettor. Photograph A is how I was told to do it, but from memory, and from the scoring on the metal I think it’s more like photograph B. Can anyone kindly advise?

This video on youtube shows the Rover International Rally at Duxford in 1990. Where you there? (I was) Was your car there. The TCZ is shown too.

Every now and then when looking at my car I have sometimes thought she seems a little low on the driver side at the rear. Took out the trusty tape measure today finally and I measure from the middle of the rear wheel arch down to the ground. She is sitting approximately 2 cm lower on the...

Any offers advice would be appreciated, very occasionally my fuel gauge and my temperature gauge both drop about 25% of the travel distance, maybe just for a few seconds, then all is well. They never seem to return to the off position, and it only ever seems to last a few seconds. There is...

I am replacing the spherical bush that the gear stick sticks into the little pin that obviously locates into the ball on the stick. My question is when reassembling which way do I position this, I’m guessing it’s with the nipple to the front but I wanted to check that doesn’t seem to be any...

Not sure if this question has been asked here before, but can I put a passenger seat in the place of the drivers seat? I appreciate the tilt adjuster will be on the wrong side, but other than this are there any issues or is it completely different?

As many of us will have a stay-cation this year, I thought it might be fun to start a "where have you been in your Rover this summer" thread. We could post where and when and a suitable photo. I will get things going.... A caravan weekend at Hayling island on the south coast. Mid may 2021, round...

I see the people at Wins have a great new web site ( www.winsinternational.co.uk ) its like an Aladin's cave! I have no connection to Wins other than I have used them for spares for years now and always found them brilliant to deal with.

I bet many of us on this forum look on eBay to see what P6 cars come up for sale out of nothing more than generally idle curiosity. Every few weeks or so the same white and blue rovers come up for sale at a slightly unusual price, and there’s always a photograph of a note next to it saying to...

I discovered yesterday that my heated rear window is not working, I checked the in-line fuse just behind the pull switch switch which is 25 amp and the fuse had blown. When I replaced the fuse blue again immediately. Is there a common place where there is likely to be a short causing the fuse...

I thought I was on the naughty step having spent many hours in the garage and in fairness a few quid restoring my beloved P6 this year. However obviously Santa took pity on me and delivered this Christmas morning anyone else get any P6 goodies for Crimbo?

Spotted just outside Dorking in Surrey, someone enjoying a winter drive through the Surrey countryside. She pulled off nice and quickly without a puff of smoke. A credit to its owner.

Had a faultless 150 mile round trip recently and the car performed beautifully, however I had the sidelights and dipped beam on for about 40 minutes of the trip when I got home and run my fingers along the fuses having removed the lid around the middle of the box it was hot, probably best...

What jobs are we up to during the period of lock down? I have finally got round to rebuilding four doors that I had refurbished and resprayed four years ago! This is a great time to get those jobs done that you have been putting off in favour of driving and enjoying the car.
