    Fuel pump rebuild query!

    Hi all, hope someone can help. I'm rebuilding the fuel pump on my 72 2000. In the Haynes manual its saying there should be a retaining clip that I remove to release the inlet and outlet valve. However on mine I can't see one. Any advice on how I remove and replace these. Is it a case of trying...

    Timing

    Thanks guys, The wire was connected to the outside of the cap. I've just managed to get her running for a few seconds (sounded very rough) then it died and I've drained the battery so thats now on charge. I'm wondering if its sucked some crud up from the tank. I was just worried about the...

    Driveshafts

    It was that retaining clip!!! I must have expanded the de-dion tube too far at some point! For my foolishness the lords of the internal combustion engine unleashed an almighty storm upon me which resulted in me having to work under canvas and in the mud for the rest of the day. I have however...

    Driveshafts

    Thanks for the speedy response guys. I've tried the above including the ratchet strap but it appears the de-dion tube is catching on something so I fear I may have messed up when putting it back together.

    HELLO!

    HELLO!

    Hi Dave, Thanks for the welcome. You didn't buy you P6 from The Spinning Wheel by any chance did you? Mine is tax exempt and is a series 2, the strip on the bonnet appears to be a side strip that was held on by two screws and a bent nail!! There was also a luggage rack on the back but that and...

    HELLO!

    Hi all, My name is Rich from Chesterfield, Derbyshire. I've had a few modern Rovers and been member of MG-Rover.org for years so know how much help (and fun) these forums can be. Towards the end of last year I finally bagged me a P6. AWH 491L didn't look too bad and blasted the 80 miles home...
