I am very pleased with the Powerlite starter. The engine starts instantly. The original culprit for the starter to not work, I found out it was caused by the ignition switch falling apart. A new 7/8 ignition switch from JRW fixed the problem. But I had already bought the Powerlite, so I fitted...

Tor Ketil, har du sett denne oppskrifta før? By the way, Østlenningen for dessverre med Buicken.

It is just sitting held in by that fork. So it is a temporary solution that has worked fine for me the last 4 years. And it is a speedo drive for an automatic gearbox. I have bought a new same type speedo drive from Wins and will fit that. Hopefully it will all work fine again.

Or if you are in the South, I might visit you and get one from you?

Ok, So it is quite easy to get hold of then I assume. Thank you for that. I am travelling to England on thursday and plan to visit Wins, he might have it. But do you know if it is common to attach it to an LT77 box with a fork? regards, Barten

My 3500s with 5 speed gearbox lost it speedometer readings this summer on a long trip. I was wondering what different solutions there are for speedometer read-out for SD1 gearbox and P6 speedometer. It it possible to get a speedometer wire that has a SD1 connection on the gearbox side and a P6...

I use some silicone spray in the handbrake gaitor when i have to remove the console. Makes it alot easier to slide the handbrake through the gaitor.

Thanks Quattro, I have the same manifolds as you. I have managed to squeeze in the original Lucas starter motor, but it is a very tight fit. I have had my manifolds ceramic coated too, inside and outside. Still seem very hot down there. The outlets from the manifolds are not coated, so maybe I...

No it is not standard exhaust. I have manifolds from RPI and they are very tight. I haven’t tried yet though.

Hi Pepijn, I have the same system as you in my 3500s. In my other Rover 3500, i have a single line system. Which has a much more "modern" feel to the brake pedal. Brakes immediately and progressively. I my 3500s I need to really stamp on the brake for it to work properly and it is tiring in the...

I was wondering: do they fit it? and how do they perform. My original starter motor has given up the ghost. It sits very tight and very close to the exhaust manifold so I wonder of something has fried up inside it. It is getting very hot from the exhaust. I was on holiday when the starter...

I also had that some years ago, it was the diff extension on one side that had broke. On the oppesite side, it had twisted but not broken yet. Some new parts from WINS and effort in my workshop soon rectified the problem.

I am considering buying overmats for my 3500s. The most common company seems to be techautosuk on ebay. I wonder if anyone here has got any experience with their overmats and service please? It would be good to know a little bit about them before I order a set. Thanks in advance! Regards, Barten

The Holley LED's look very tempting to me. Quite expensive however. I might try another set of H4 /H1 lights before I try this. My Low beam light is absolutely crap.

Congratulations! Hope you will be happy with it. It looks fine, and I wonder if it has a new interior? Seems to be different colour on the piping.

Good info about the Pirellis. Can I ask how much they cost?

Wow, looks exceptional! Congratulations with your new P6.

Go for it if you have the parts and your Rover engine is knackered. And let us hear and see photos of it. regards, Barten

This is my 3500s with an ACR18 installed. I chose that option whem the original AC 11 stopped charging. I needed another bracket that i purchased from Wins, I also bought the 18 from him. And it has a built in regulator. Regards, Barten

One question to your servo; are you certain that the slave cylinder rod is attached correctly inside the servo? It is well described in the WSM, nevertheless I managed to not attach it correctly, with the result if I remember correctly that the front brakes locked on as soon as I started the...

What size are they Tor? They look fantastic, I can see them black in the center with polished rims.

It is good to have a helper with you when you are pushing the lid onto the hinge irons . It is very easy for the hinge iron to set marks in the lid. So two sets of steady hands is preferable.

Can someone tell me which nuts are correct to use on rostyle wheels? The long ones as is used with the s-trim, or the shorter ones?

Your engine build looks very nice, I wonder if you had any issues with adjusting the pushrods? Can you describe how you adjusted them please? Regards, Barten
