Anyone in Australia got a complete (ie not stepped on :oops: ) hazard flasher switch? I am willing to pay for the postage and any small costs incurred. It turns out that you need the hazard lights to work for rego purposes :roll: Cheers GUY :D

I am selling my 3.9l V8 out of my race car as it has just got a new 4.0l race engine. The engine is a 3.9l out of a 1997 Discovery and was rebuilt before I got it with fresh gaskets and seals. it only has 1000km on it since its overhaul. Currently set up with electronic ignition, P6 front cover...

I fully admit that the standard brakes on a P6 are perfectly adequate for everyday road use. But on a track under repeated heavy braking the smell, and glowing, and flames, and the screaming, and the fire extinguishers gets a little tiresome! :twisted: I am looking to upgrade the brakes on...

G'Day all I am currently in the process of sorting out the tech requirements for me to race my 74 V8 S "Pooh" here in Australia. One of the requirements under the local rules is that the original gearbox must be used (the ratios and internals are free) and it must have the same number of gears...

Shock absorbers, can anyone tell me if there are any sets that are common to other vehicles that fit the P6B? Here in Australia (great country, lots of space, only the occasional poisonous creature) I get many pitying looks when I ask for shock absorbers for a Rover CAR, Not a RANGE Rover, or...

G'Day all It's been a while but I am back from O/S and still in one piece. To celebrate my triumphant return I have purchased....another Rover. This one is a V8 S and I have (perhaps foolishly) purchased it over the miracle of the internet. It is in Perth (Western Australia) and I am in Darwin...

G'Day all It has been a while since I managed a post but I have a quick one for you. has anyone else out there thought of replacing the steel springs in a P6 with airbags? I have been having terrible trouble with my front suspension and was thinking of replacing the springs with adjustable...

I have a power steering box that needs a full rebuild and every specialist in my area is afraid of it! Apparently it has to do with warranty issues now that Rover has gone bust. I tried to explain that the car was 32 years old and warranty had nothing to do with anything, but they still wont...

Has anyone else had problems with the b post bottom trim? The plastic on the car that I am currently rebuilding has bio degraded into dust and there is nothing to recover. To this end I am having some replacement panels made in fibreglass, and these will be suitable for covering with your choice...

Took the blue car to be pink slipped the other day, ( MOT ) and the inspector told me that the braided steel brake lines on the car are now illegal! I have had them for the past few years and all my cars have them. The stupid thing is that I had another car with the same modification, and it was...

Just me again, I have noticed talk on the forum about electric windows and other gadgets. Was it standard, and if so were any sent to Australia with them? I am currently looking at the possibility of using the window mechanism from a Freelander to give the blue (actually dirt and rust and...

Well I am back and with another insane plan to drag my P6B into the new century kicking and screaming. I have managed to lay my hands on the ABS/ETC/HDC setup off a Landrover Freelander. The next insane plan is to graft the whole setup into the poor old blue beast. The control block for the...

Has anyone out there fitted wider wheels to a 3500? I have a 4l 3500 (a 4000 I suppose you would call it), and I wish to fit wider 16" wheels during the rebuild. I am the proud owner of a set of 16" Superlight alloy wheels and they look fantastic, but they rub on the inside of the rear wheel...

Those who have read my report on my new 4l V8 will know the saga of putting a modern version of the Rover V8 in an old car, BUT, while I am at it I want to uprate the suspension. I found an article in Classic and Sportscar from about 1992 about a mob that produced a handling kit for the 3500...

Has anyone out there fitted a modern EFi V8 to their P6B? I am keen to fit a modern engine to my 1973 P6B along with a 4 speed auto. I am interested to hear from anyone that has had similar rash ideas, or has been silly enough to actually do it. I have a handle on a near new 4.0 V8, along with...

Does anyone know of any alternatives to the BW35 for the P6B? I have been told the the ZF 4 speed from a Range Rover will fit the V8, since that is what is in the RR. The only problem that I can see with this is the the RR gearbox is designed to have a transfer case on the back rather than a...
