Hello Each, I am looking for a good, used but WORKING windscreen washer pump and lid (I have the bottle, already). Please e-mail me if you can help. Many thanks, regards, John.

Well, following an exhausting tour of Romania and a couple of the new countries that have popped up in Eastern Europe since the war(s) whose names I almost learnt to pronounce(but cannot hope to spell) your dear old auntie has returned to civilisation at last. It was most gratifying to see that...

Although I have applied to enter this show, I have since sold my Three Thousand Five (no application for the road run on the Saturday) but would like to attend the show, preferably without paying the £5 per person entrance fee and doubt if I will be able to replace my car before then so if you...

I have been contacted by a member who wants to give away his car (preferably before next weekend) and has tried telephoning the RO but the number, as printed in P6 NEWS, is incorrect. If anyone has the correct 'phone number for Anthony Cottrill or wants a FREE car (no details I'm afraid) then...

Yes, first one in this catagory! If you spotted a White Three Thousand Five in Cardiff last week then it was me! If you didn't, look out again next week cos I'll be blasting away from traffic lights and going very slow in front of the cameras - Don't we all! Regards, John.

Hello each, my 1968 Three Thousand Five has only covered 71,000 miles and, I guess, is still running on the original dampers. Despite passing the MOT every year, the ride appears harsh, compared to other P6 s that we have owned. Does it seem likely that the dampers need changing to restore...

I have just been asked where one could (should) buy internal bits for a 3500S (4 speed I assume) - This ex-member needs gearwheels (reverse and first) as has some teeth missing. Any Ideas? Regards, John.

Hello, My 1968 Three Thousand Five has just failed its mot due to a leaky rear, nearside caliper! (probably due to lack of use as seal kits were fitted about 7 years ago). I am no longer in a position to replace this myself and so am at the mercy of my local garage an mot station who are...

I have just purchased an Icelert kit NOS complete in its original box (De Luxe model £11.50 in 1972) and would like to fit it to my 1968 Three Thousand Five. It has an under-dash fitting bracket for the light, push-button and rheostat knob (De Luxe, see) but I would prefer to fit these in the...

Is there a regular monthly meeting in the Bristol area? I have tried contacting the Regional Organiser listed in the P6 NEWS with no success and our membership secretary tells me that this RO has not renewed his membership for the past two years. There may be very good reasons why...

The same gentleman with the VIP who has a problem with his aircon (see earlier posting) demonstrated the phenomenon in the above title. With the car at rest and the engine idling, no problem, increase the revs to 1800 and a vibration occurs within the engine (no real noise, just a shaking)...

How about this for a perplexing puzzle? - A four cylinder automatic that won't start when the engine is hot, but starts fine when the engine is cold! Can the inhibitor switch be affected by heat? Could it be the inhibitor relay? Could it be Martians? can you be bothered to reply if you have the...

In the past, every time that I have purchased a service item (points, plugs, filters, brakes, hoses, seal kits, fan belts, gaskets, suspension joints etc.) for my Rover 3500 (series 1 and series 2) cars I have recorded the part numbers in a database for future reference. This is very handy for...

Not really an engine query - but didn't where else to pose this puzzler! I have been contacted by an elderly gentleman who has a VIP for sale but who wants to get the heater working before he sells it. The air con works fine, but he can get no hot air! Pretty important with Autumn on its way...

One of the great things about the Rover V8 engine is that you do not have any tappets to adjust, however when the time comes to replace them, along with the cam, you cannot do half a job! I have eight brand new hydraulic tappets (lifters as our american cousins say) and am desperately seeking...

What's the best, readily available engine oil that I can use in my 1968 Three Thousand Five which does less than 3000 miles per year (driven gently) and has one oil and filter change each year ? Many thanks for replying with your recommendation.

So, no comments or questions on the entire history of the four cylinder engines then? These must be the majority of P6 Club owners so why no questions in this forum? Embarrassed or no problems? Would like to know!
