This socket part of the throttle linkage between the carbs has broken. I've seen similar looking things on the internet but I'm not sure if they are right. Does anyone know what this part is called or where I might get one from?

I'm thinking of getting a remote engine starter but the leads won't reach the battery in the boot I thought i could use a separate battery up front. Would this be ok leaving the original battery connected?

I'm replacing my original 45amp alternator with a 65 amp one The new pulley is around 2cm smaller Should I swap pulleys or get a new fanbelt? Thankingyou

I'm wanting to fit the centre from my Rover wheel onto my newly bought Moto-lita (which is using a Mountney boss) The centre is just a few mm too big to slot down into it. I don't really want to file any off the Rover part and if i open up the steering wheel it won't fit snugly on the boss Has...

I have disappearing brake fluid Usually when i am away from the car for a few weeks the reservoir empties but no pools of fluid around I have found fluid in the servo And a small amount around the top of the pedal inside the car (nothing like the amount going missing from the reservoir)...

For the last few months i have had a brake fluid loss. I often don't visit the car for weeks at a time but the reservoir always needs filling when i do. I had assumed it was coming from a flexi pipe i replaced last year but it isn't This week after starting the car for the first time in a few...

Or did i order the wrong ones? I was advised this looked like a Lucas ACR 18 So i ordered these Alternator Brush Set Lucas 15,16,17,18 Acr Kit Lax31-322 Wood Auto Abr5406 788863059389 | eBay They're different to what is in there. Longer springs and have an extra piece on one of them If...

After six months of none use i suddenly have no indicators, stop lights, hazards or squirters (i also have no fuel, oil or temp gauge but these could the voltage regulator?) It's a 1973 series 2 V8 On idle i have a flickering ammeter and on/off ignition light. I am replacing the alternator...

I've found the fuel leak. Loose pipe coming from the tank How does that connect inside the tank. Any idea how to fix this?

My ignition light and ammeter are doing this I figure it might be time for an new alternator I had a search on ebay and initially found some which said they were suitable then did a search on a different device and some different ones said they were right. Now i'm just confused so i though i...

The series 2 P6B has been sat since December. The battery was completely flat. Charged it over night but it only starts with a booster pack It runs and drives fine but the idle sits at 1500, the fuel, temp and oil gauges don't work. The screen washers don't work. The indicators and stop lights...

They look mirrored This is on the original This is the part number which arrived This is the LH carb (the one off the engine)? Burlen are shut on Saturdays

Starting today fuel is pouring from the nearside carb overflow I haven't had time to look into it yet but i thought i might ask you helpful folk for what might be causing it for when i get home

I am picking these up in a couple of days and if i like them i may paint them the colour of my existing seats What is the colour of my current seats? I've seen sandalwood mentioned but i'm not sure that's what i've got Would anyone recommend a good company for supplying leather spray paint?

I removed my metal fan to see if i noticed and improvement in terms of noise I do. It feels a lot smoother and sounds better. It seems to pick up more easily and be a little more eager This could be my imagination but i definitely like it without the constant noise of the fan Luckily...

Is anybody going to this? I understand there is no grouping of makes this year so i thought it might be nice to enter 'as one' :)

I just bought these from eBay I was wondering what name they were known by? Also, how do people refer to the ones I currently have?

The previous owner and a few people have told me I need to use high octane E5 fuel My car is a 1973 V8 and I was told it is a higher compression than one which followed soon after Could this be the main reason for using E5 or is it just because it's an older engine Does it need it for...

Scrolling through the topics in this section reminded me of a problem I sometimes have Occasionally my 1973 V8 auto won't start in P. No ignition at all Moving it to N gets it going I've seen mention of an inhibitor switch. Could this be the problem? It's not a massive problem at the moment...

I just watched a video with a 1970 P6 V8 and then a 1974 V8 and they both had these headrests on the front seats But mine is a 1973 and has these Also, while i'm at it, how do i adjust the height? i can get the headrest to go back and forth but can't quite figure out the up and down :s

Since buying the car on around half a tank of fuel and breaking down due to debris / rust coming through (leading to tank removal and carb rebuild) i like to keep the tank full The previous owner did warn me that if you stick the fuel niozzle all in it will click continuously. Which it does I...

I have had a 1973 P6 V8 auto for a couple of months now The other day I felt like accelerating continuously up this hill but of course it went to third and the event was kind of over Is it ok to put it into second gear at relatively low speeds (maybe no more than 30 mph?) and accelerate from...

Nearly a couple of weeks ago I bought a 1973 P6 V8 10 miles into the 80 mile journey home it cut out several times. The previous owner had always run with a full tank and I had set off with it only half full. I drained the tank and filled it again but it was still running unevenly This was...
