Hello again everyone, sorry I haven't been on here for a while. The last time I posted, I told you all about my latest (at that time) purchase which I still have. I have however been busy working on it since then, and I will update my post in "Members Projects" soon. Although I don't know the...

Hi everyone, long time no type :D I would like to pick your brains about a problem i'm currently having. The arse end of my P6 is sitting to low on the drivers side, so I bought some new heavy duty springs and a pair of new shocks. Unfortunately, although both sides are approx. an inch higher...

Hi everyone :D I didn't know where to post this, but I thought I would let you all know that I have a complete set of Sundym Glass for sale on eBay if anyone is interested. I bought it to put in my P6, but I would much rather get the engine sorted as it's really spoiling my enjoyment of...

Hello everyone, I have a question for you all regarding the inlet manifold on my V8 P6. Looking at various pics and flicking through my operations manual, I can't find any info regarding a pipe that has been blocked off. There is a small pipe that comes out of the manifold which goes to the...

Hi y'all :D I would like to ask a question about my dipstick. On top of the dipstick tube there looks like there's a rubber 'O' ring, and on top of the dipstick there is a 'top hat' if you like. Is this meant to have a tight push on fit with the dipstick tube, or is it meant to be like a stick...

Hi everyone, I have what I think maybe a problem. My cooling system seems to pressurize quite quickly without the top heater pipe getting hot. I thought Bonza, it's a blocked matrix. So yesterday I spent an hour and a half flushing crap out of it, and trying to bleed the system of air. I went...

Unfortunatley I have found a flat tyre on my Rover today, and it looks like it's because the tyre itself is old and slightly perished. I knew I would have to change the tyres at some point, but it has happened sooner rather than later. First of all, what tyre size should be on a 3500 S... Are...

Hello again, I keep forgetting to ask this question. My bootlid has been converted for a boot mount spare wheel, but I know there are some parts missing. I have the strengthening brace inside the boot lid, and the badge and holder are there too. Oh it's also got the chrome lifting handle. What...

Hi all, I wondered if you could tell me where the safest place is to jack up a P6 with a trolley jack? Unfortunatley my car didn't come with a jack and I don't want to be jacking up a 2 ton mansion in the wrong place lol. BTW, it's the rear end I need to raise as one of my tyres has perished...

Hi everyone :D I wondered if anyone could tell me what the positions on the interior light switch operate? At the moment, position 1 turns on the interior light and position 2 turns the interior light & map light on together. Now me being me, I have a habbit of looking at things logically. I...

Hi all, I thought I would start a thread in here regarding my P6. A mates brother has owned the car for the last couple of years and in that time he has done some welding to the inner sills, fitted complete new rear brakes and had some re-wiring done. I saw the car about a month ago and just...

Well I have had some news from the chap who has my future P6. He has done a few jobs on it like changing the gearbox oil, sorting out the front brakes and he has even cleaned, compounded and polished the bodywork :D As I type, he has informed me that it has been taken down for it's MoT, but I...

Hi everyone :D Right, with my new arrival getting closer, I am having all sorts of idea's of what I would like to do to it (mainly wheels and my Police Spoilers). There will be quite a few niggly odd jobs to do like wonky interior panels, carpet and other odds and sods. I am getting very...

Hello again :D I have a question regarding the steering wheel on the P6 i'm buying. I have been looking at pictures of various models and it seems that the 3500S models had a steering wheel with leather covered spokes and a badge in the centre that has 3500 on the top, ROVER in the middle and...

Hello again. I have perhaps a strange question to ask. I noticed on a few pictures of the P6 Police cars that they had a front skirt which tied in with the dropped grille in the front valence. I was reading an old copy of Practical classics today, and they said it was to keep the front of the...

Hi all. Firstly, I appologise if this is in the wrong section, I am new here you see :wink: I am hoping to find a car, or information regarding said car. The car in question is a 1972 Rover P6 3500S in White with a Brown Vinyl roof. This was my grandads car which he bought new. Unfortunatley...

Hi everyone, my name is Jim and I am new :D I will be the proud owner of a Rover P6 3500S in the next couple of weeks & can't wait. I have been moving in Classic Ford circles for a few years now, but have always loved ALL classic cars... especially the british ones. There is a small story to...
