Hi guys. I'd need to do some wheel alignment on Ruby. When I first laid down on the ground looking for the usual steering rod and nut I found nothing! I guess alignment should be done through anywhere in the engine bay, whilst not sure how to do it. The steering wheel is a bit misaligned, not...

Hello wise guys. I have a (hope) little problem with my much beloved Ruby (P6 2200 SC 1973). Strip type speedo. Sometimes the engine comes off when idling with no apparent reason and then refuses to start again. All the lights are OK and the starter spins correctly and powerful, but the engine...

Sorry for such a long time not attending this forum. I've been moving home and you know how time consuming and tiring this is! Well, back to normality now. For those of you who already have me forgotten, I remind you that I am the only owner of a P6 in Spain (as far as I know). Very proud of...

Well, to be honest I reckon I am disappeared a bit. But I am still here, whilst no time for Rovers. I just bought a new flat. 144 square meters just for my wife and I, four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a living room the size of a handball pitch, swimming pool, private gardens... Lots of money...

Hello folks. Yesterday I took Ruby to a meeting in Segovia (famous for its Roman aqueduct) and was chatting (me, not Ruby) for a while with the owner of a Triumph TR6. He said to me that he has never used Valvemaster, Millers or any other lead substitute. He, as well as the rest of the TR6...

After several centuries of searching I found, at last!, an LR8 glass for my spotlight. Still wrapped in plastic, so never used. A NOS spare. The problem is that I had to bought it complete, glass, wires, bulbholder and of course the chromed back. I suppose this spare was intended for the Rolls...

Not sure about selling my set or not yet. The case is that the glass of one of my spotlights is cracked. Not broken but cracked. I have been looking for a glass with no success. I think that it'd be better to change the spots for other make easy to find here, Cibié, Hella... So if anyone is...

Looking for the Lucas LR8 spot light glass. I just need the glass, whilst of course a complete lamp would be a matter of study. Please have a look at the bottom of your drawers. I would be very grateful. Regards

Well, at last I've decided to change the cracked lense of one of the foglamps. I'm afraid it's very difficult to find such lense as spare. Just in case any of you have one stored in the bottom of the drawer... The lense I need is the spot type: Of course I wouldn't say NO to a matched...

Hello. I would be interested in a Wingard mirror for my 2200 SC. I have two of them, but the one on the passenger side is broken. My wife said to me yesterday to find and buy a new one. Is there anyone at our disposal here? On the other side maybe interested in a 17,5 inches wooden wheel...

Hello all. Just a few words to inform you that the last issue of "Driving Force" contains the story of my car, from the date of buying until definite registration in Spain. For those of you who have the opportunity of reading it please do not be too strict with my English. regards

Well, I have got a rev counter for my P6 strip speedo. But I came across a huge problem! I do not know how to get the wires in the center of the dashboard coming from the engine bay! I would like to fit the binnacle not getting the panel instrument off, but I do not know how to pass the wires...

Hello all. Just received a rev counter and clock binnacle. I will try to fit it to my car during this Friday, since it is a local holiday here. Although I think that the wiring layout that's fluttering in my head is correct, I would like someone more used to P6 gives me a hand, just to confirm...

Hello all. I'm losing brake fluid and afraid it's the master cylinder. It leaks through the metal body, some point near the pushing rod nut. As this car was never sold here it's not easy to find spares. My idea is to overhaul the master cylinder. To do so I would like to know what cars have the...

It is so difficult that I do not remember the solution. My sole intention by putting this brainbreaker here is just to show the things Maths can solve. I remember a Calculus class when I was a sophomore. The teacher got close to the blackboard and started the problem... "One day starts to...

I hope to explain it OK in English. Maybe it is not easy. Well, we have a courier that every two days runs the same route. He departs from a shed at the mountain bottom and climbs the mountain up to the top through a goat's trail. He spends exactly 8 hours to do the job, from 8:00 in the...

Hi everybody. Last Sunday I took Ruby out for a drive. She felt very comfy and I think she made good friends with some old folks. Luckily I've already got my temporary plates, so I can drive my P6 legally until I have the definite ones. Hope you like. Regs

I cannot understand why Rover designed and fitted this device to the P6. Absolutely useless and expensive, apart from a source of breakdowns and nuisances. Well, I know it's very easy to wall it up, but I think it's not the suitable solution. As I want to keep my car as original as possible I...

Hello all. Just arrived back to Spain yesterday after collecting my P6 2200 SC 1974 in England. By the way, what boring the cruise trip down to Santander is!! Well, after 600 miles with the car some electric problems show up. Or maybe "problem" is a word too big for my concerns. 1) Wipers. It...

Hello all. Do you know whether the Rover P6 2200 SC has its type approval number? It is the number which starts with e11*93/81...... and is issued by the EU. I do not really need it for registering purposes in Spain, but no doubt things would be far easier for me. Any information would be...

Hello all. In just three weeks I will be the proud owner of a P6 2200 SC. I have been in love with this car since my early teens (I am 44 now) and my dream finally comes true. Well, as I still have to wait for some days to drive it I prefer to shut my mouth up. A lot of questions swarm around...
