Hi All, You may remember me from years gone by on the forum. I restored a yellow rover P6 estate fitting a toyota supra 5 speed gearbox conversion and later adding Megasquirt fuel injection. Unfortunately the time has come to move on. I'm intending to put the car up for sale publicly in the...

Does anyone else have trouble with their bonnet moving around at speed? When I get to about 70+ and the bonnet will sort of fidget slightly. If the prevailing wind is against the car this can be quite violent and rather disconcerting. My old saloon used to do it quite badly. This was improved by...

Hi All, Looking for wiper switch (Off, Slow , Fast, Delay, Push for wash!) The push for wash bit on mine is broken beyond repair. For the later style of dash with a green knob on in 3500s.

Was going to stick this in the thread on immersion heaters in the Electrics forum but it's a bit off topic (though you can see the Estoura in the background of the 2nd vid) Cold starting isn't all about fuel injection, here's a couple of vids of my Square Four outfit in the snow last week...

I need one P5 Rostyle to replace a buckled one on my estate. Didn't realise quite how bad it was until I saw it on the Rolling Road yesterday, about 1/2 to 3/4" buckle.... Anything in reasonable condition will do, as long as not heavily corroded (or buckled!), in the derbyshire area...

Just about to embark upon the dreaded front spring change! I'm planning to use this method http://www.p6roc.co.uk/download.asp?fil ... 8+9-11.pdf it looks like a good and more importantly safe method has anyone else tried it or does anyone have any better suggestions or experiences to report.

Spotted on you tube a few times. Does anyone know who the owner is? http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=r ... f&start=30

After lying low for a few years (reproducing, 2 of each flavour) I have finally got round to getting my estate back on the road. It was fully restored by myself a few years ago and I did several thousand miles in it but found the weber carbed engine a bit of a pain in the bum. Plenty of power...

Can anyone tell who makes a front and rear set of gas/adjustable shocks for the rover p6? I'm sure that they were available and can remember reading about them on the manufacturers web site. Unfortunately I can't remember the name. Seem to recall they were either red or had red in the name...

Just had to post this because I'm feeling so full of myself and just had to tell someone! (the wife only pretends to be impressed) Since fitting the 5 speed box to my V8 estate I've been pondering how to get a correct reading from the speedo. The obvious answer is to get teh speedo recalibrated...

Anyone know where I can get longer wheel studs to fit a set of alloy wheels. Yes the famous superlites are finally going to be fitted at last!

Anyone know where the best quality replacement door seal can be purchased? These are the seals that fit in the door opening. Want to try and cut out some of the wind noise.

Can anyone tell me what sort of pipe to use when connecting the resovoir to the clutch and brake master cylinders? My exisiting pipe seems to have gone porus. Bennet

DISASTER!! Well not quite. My superlites arrived today and I had the tyre changed off the Rostyles unfortunately when I came to fit them the wheel nuts only go on the threads about 3 turns and even they are impossible to tighten as the entire hex is hidden inside the recess. This means I...

Just wanted to see if anyone else has ever noticed this happening: I went for a drive yesterday and noticed when I went round some corners or over bumps that there was a heavy knocking noise coming from the back fearing a loose suspension bolt I drove back home and got it over the pit...

Trying to get to sort out the suspension on my car and having trouble working out what the correct suspension heights should be. According to the Haynes manual my car is 2" to high at the back and 2" to low at the front. Seems a little hard to believe as it definately looks too low at the...

Just having a few problems with the servo in my car. Does someone have an exploded diagram or no the answer to this question if they have rebuilt a servo. The slave piston is retained on the end of the rod by a pin. Should the spring inside the slave piston push against the pin so as to hold...

Anyone got a spare bit of light green carpet, not sure how many green shades there are in carpet but I'm presuming just one. I've got a bit missing from the drivers footwell. Anything will do even if it's a crappy piece you're going to through out. I just need something I can cut a small...

Anyone got any idea if I have got the front windscreen seal and supports fitted correctly. Should the seal sit outside the roof panel? I presume it will be the same on a saloon as the estate. Have I got the correct bits of the seal on the outside of base unit? I.e the stainless trim will...

I'm just fitting up the door innards for my car and have a couple of questions regarding the door to window seals. 1. I want to hang the complete assembled door on the car and then fit the seals last of all once the gaps and frames have been adjusted. Is it possible to fit new seals without...

Does anyone know if there is a cure for floppy door mirrors. The ones on my car always started to point at the road after getting much above 60/70 and made checking behind a case of crouching down slightly in the seat. Not very safe I'm sure you'll agree. Is there away to solve this problem...

When refitting the tail lights to my car I discovered that one of them actually fits to the body work more neatly if the gasket that fits between the light body and the wing is left out. I was a bit perturbed by this at first and cursing myself for not checking the fit before the car was...
