    Halogen light fitting

    I was never very happy with the low intensity of the Lucas sealed beam outers in dipped mode. So, when I found that one of the sealed beam elements had gone, I decided to replace all headlights with the type that takes the Halogen H4 and H1 lamps. To get an idea of the change in light...

    Reconditioned Rear Caliper Supplier

    Hi, wanting to get my P6 2200TC back on the road. One of the first jobs I think will be replacing a rather sorry looking rear caliper. Can anyone suggest a supplier who can recondition calipers or provide an exchange item please?

    JVY MOT 2014 - passed

    :D MOT passed last week :D Initially failed due to rot on the OS D-post bottom (usual P6 "rot box") and advisory on poor welding at bottom of BC-post. However, after a few nights welding, the nice man at the garage was happy to give me a new MOT. As is now the custom, JVY got her birthday...

    Show us yer trim...!

    Me, I quite a like a spot of digression. However, I digress; it was this that got me thinking: Is this what Monty Python were having a laugh at in the Life of Brian with Pontius Pilate and "To pwove our fwiendship, we will welease one of our wong-doers! Who shall I welease?"?

    Hello and welcome Martin. Great intro - thanks. Only thing that's maybe missing is a fewer pics of your P6 please :-) . Sounds like your "drive 'em" approach is very much like mine.

    Ian Wilson (1965-2013) Rest in Peace.

    Re: Ian Wilson Rest in Peace. Very sad to hear this. It seems to be such a short time since Ian told us he was unwell. My thoughts go to his family.

    Thanks - good spot from your sister-in-law. Wish I knew what the ad says. It mentions 1980??

    1961 Triumph Herald - Mileage: 20

    Do cars have feelings? Maybe that poor wee Herald is thinking, "I just want to be driven. Just one trip to the seaside on a warm sunny day before I rust away".

    Hello & welcome Ronnie. Your car is looking very smart. Please tell us a bit more about your car and what attracted you to a P6?

    starter motor only clicks SOLVED

    Re: starter motor only clicks Going by all of the above, I would suspect Rich is right about poor starter earth connection. If you have a resistance measuring multimeter and some long test leads, you could check the resistance from starter motor case to battery -ve terminal. Anymore than about...

    Attractive Solihull Ancestor

    Does look nice and the colour scheme suits it. I think Rover also made an equally nice 2 door coupe version. According to Wiki, the new 1933 Rover 10 was the first car that the Wilks developed after joining Rover. So, arguably, a true P6 ancestor in many ways?

    My mean green hornet

    Spacer does look good Jim. Whatever you did to spruce up the leather has made quite a difference.

    :-D Excellent Tam. Glad to see this car is staying on the Forum. Very nice pics too. Thinking that you must have a real liking for red 3500Ss :-) .

    Rear Seat Belt Fitting

    IIRC, to use the mounts on my parcel shelf, I needed to make a hole in the vinyl parcel shelf covering (like Willy says) and drill a hole through the board that sits under the padded vinyl. Maybe some cars had the board drilled and others didn't? When I did mine, I do seem to remember having to...

    Chewbacca

    Gullfaxi is a good one John. Like the Nordic theme :wink: . My suggestion for a name is, "Flava-mobile". Flava being Latin for yellow but commonly used nowadays to describe something or someone that has good or unique style.

    Where do I measure the output from my Alternator?

    Things I would try:- 1. Make sure there is nothing obvious discharging the battery when you leave it - like the boot light staying on when the boot lid is closed. If your multi-meter has a current range you can measure the current being drawn off the battery with engine and ignition off...

    1971 3500 Auto

    Hello & welcome Loopylouby. Not many people can claim to own a movie star :) . I quite like the car. It has a very monochrome/clean look. You say that you had second thoughts when driving it home - was this due to problems with the car or just general second thoughts? Is this your first P6?

    PAE .... Sleipnir???

    Looks like you got some nice virtually rot free doors Rich. You could always fit them and paint the rest of the car to match :-) .

    Strange Rover 2000 ad from 1967,

    I've seen the top one before but maybe not the second. Yes, they are odd. Despite the US market being a bit different, hard to imagine they persuaded folk to want buy a P6?

    mth rebuild jobs have started

    Re: time for mth to have a lay up soon It's not such a bad list. If you get stuck in you'll be halfway there before you know it and all finished by next spring :wink: . With the exception of the welding & painting, most of those jobs you could maybe do on a weekend. What welding needs done?
