FIVA (Federation Internationale Vehicules Anciens) have recently published an interesting report on the scale (i.e votes in politician-speak) of the historic vehicle movement in the EU. I quote one section from the FIVA report:- By working in conjunction with the EU, FIVA’s work has resulted...

Anyone know where I can get a heating water control valve, complete with capillary tube, for a P6 air conditioning system?

I need to replace the fuse block in my 1974 3500. The repair and operations manual just says to disconnect the connections at the fuse block, but I cannot see how to do this. They do not appear to pull off, although I suspect that they are supposed to, but I am afraid of causing damage if I...

Does anybody know a manufacturer of new laminated front windscreens for the P6?

Does anybody know what RPM the gearbox speedo drive should be at with the engine running at 1000 RPM in top gear? My car is a 1974 UK P6 V8 automatic. Is the speedo cable supposed to run at propshaft speed or is it geared up or down from that speed? John Larkin

I recently installed a used Australian km/hour speedometer in my RHD UK specification 1974 Rover P6B automatic. Today I discovered that the odometer is OVER-reading distance by 16.8% and the speedometer is UNDER-reading speed by 14.4% (i.e. 0.856 of actual distance). There is a relationship...

Has anybody fitted J R Wadhams new rear springs to a P6 V8? I seem to recall somebody expressing reservations about those springs --- too soft or too short, I think. I searched the forum but I cannot find a topic on this. I'd appreciate any advice on the best place to buy new rear springs...

On January 14th my wipers and heater stopped working simultaneously while driving in rain. I discovered later that my heated rear screen had also stopped working. These three items receive their power supply in common from the ignition switch. There were no blown fuses. After testing I...

Can anyone tell me how to identify which heater motor I have? The parts catalogue lists two --- series-wound (part 601475) and magnet type (part 606582). I'd like to source one before removing the heater. My car is a UK-spec 1974 3500 automatic, chassis suffix E. Are these two motors...

Eurocracy is creeping like a fog here in Ireland --- our speed limits are going metric on the 20th of January. No more miles per hour.... I'm looking for a working kilometres per hour speedometer for a right-hand drive 1974 Rover 3500 automatic (UK specification). This type od speedometer...

Hi everybody, Can anyone tell me if a Rover P6 2000 front bumper fits a P6V8? I suspect that the deeper radiator bulge on the V8 means that the four cylinder front bumper will not fit a V8 --- am I right? If it does actually fit straight on, will I be able to use my existing overriders on...

I have acquired a pair of original Rover door mirrors, but I do not know exactly where the fixing holes should be drilled in the doors. Can anyone advise me of the correct locations? A close-up photo of an originally-fitted mirror would be great.

The brake light switch on my car (1974 P6B automatic) keeps failing. I am renewing the switch every nine to ten months. I use a new original Lucas switch each time. Has anyone else experienced this problem --- and found a cure?

I fitted a new stainless steel exhaust from P D Gough Ltd to my 1974 P6B automatic last year. I was unable to attach a u-clamp to the joint on the right-hand downpipe where it passes under the sump because of lack of clearance (about 5mm available). I blew the original engine in 1990 and it...
