How can I find out which carbs I got. It's a P6 3500 S from 1973, and the the engine number is 48107614C. I think the AUD521 is correct but how can I be sure? I need to get the proper service kit Thanks /thomas

I bought this one but then decided not to use it. I have it though running in a 2nd P6 V8 - it does its job quite well. It comes with original packaging. Totally new, hasn't been used. 15.2" Blowing Fan Laser Cut Mild Steel Powder Coated Fan Mounting Brackets 32mm Revotec Electronic Fan...

Since some time I observe (aka I'm having troubles) a very strange behaviour of the P6 3500S gearbox. 1) the reverse gear hardly stays in place if there's onyl a tiny object in th way or it's uphill. And shifting makes a lot of noise 90% of the time 2) I cannot shift any gear (I tried mainly 1...

Mine (3500S '73) is def too high (around 1k rpm). Can I adjust this easily? How would I do this or is this rather a specialist's job? PS: are there any side effects if it's too high?

I actually had this one for the last 6 years, seems it died today: > 556 401 048 | VARTA® Batteries Capacity: 56 Ah CCA: 480 A Width: 175 mm Length: 242 mm Height: 190 mm But what about this one: > 570 413 063 | VARTA® Batteries Capacity: 70 Ah CCA: 630 A Width: 175 mm Length: 261 mm Height...

Hi, my mechanic says it needs to be replaced. Any idea where I can get one? He says it's a Lockheed cylinder. Mine is a P6 3500s from 1973. He also suggest to replace the master. Is this advised? Thanks

What do you think should I exchange everythign from the manifolds downwards? Or just the rusty silencers?

are the NGK BP5HS the proper ones?

from only looking at it would you consider these springs tired? The boot is empty except the spare wheel and 2 umbrellas what do you think?

Hi, I just had a look the other day and found not only a leaky engine (I knew about it) but a lot leakier gearbox. Any idea what to do. Are there additives that help or do I need to get a mechanic involved? Thanks

Hi, I searched the forum and the web and found a lot of different filters that might fit the V8. I'll start a list, hopefully you'll come to the rescue and confirm that I'm right - unclear to me is with question mark. It's not too easy to find the proper ones here in Austria for a decent price...

Hi, I was wondering if I should use gas and motor oil additives (against corrosion) during the next 4 months while my P6 is hibernation. And: is it advised to change oil and filter before heading to the deep sleep. Thanks Thomas

I want to replace the plug with a semi-automatic one before hibernation. Anyone who knows the dimension of the plug I need to buy it in advance. Need it for engine sump and gearbox. Thanks

HI, I just found out - being rather disappointed at this point - that my 3500S from 1973 has a single line brake system with Girling servo, and brake warning light for pad wear, fluid and handbrake. Now according to the books it should have a dual line system and a Lockheed servo fitted. My...

when driving in summer with an engine heated to normal there is quite a hot air stream touching my left foot from the left (on a RHD). Heating is off, of course. Where does it come from and how can I avoid it. It hurts after 30 miles in midsummer (wonder if it's there when it's considerably...

Hi, I had a first closer look into the boot today - since purchase - only to face a bad surprise. Left hand wheel arch and left boot corner are in pretty bad shape. You can even see the tyres through it. Any ideas what to do in the short term? For a complete repair does it make sense to look...

Hi again, I want to accomplish the following on my P6. I'm having H4 in the outer headlamps and H1 in the inner ones. Status quo: right now the outer headlamps are dipped beam only (although they are H4). Inners are high beam only. When on outer headlamps are on too as dipped beam. Desired...

Hi, where would I find the exact dizzy number. I want to fit a Pertronix kit and there seem to be 3 different kits depending on the dizzy number. These are the kits 1.) Clockwise rotation with vacuum advance: LU-181 2.) Clockwise rotation with vacuum retard: LU-183 3.) Counter clockwise...

Hi, as a newcomer to P6-land I wonder which replacements do you use for the fuel filter and the rear engine breather. If found these parts numbers for (Range) Rover - 606168 (rear engine breather) -> ? - JS660L (fuel filter) -> can be replaced with MANN WK 31/2 and Lucas FDB170 I also wonder...

Hi, I'm looking for the parts number for speedometer cable for a P6 3500S (RHD) from 1973. I got 2 offers with different parts numbers and I don't want to take a chance. Anyboy can help with this? I'm here in Austria and lost without a parts catalogue. Thanks Thomas
