Spotted another Cameron Green P6 in Holbeach Lincs today around 11:15. Think it was YNK***K. Anybody on here???

Due to the little use we had out of our other classic, (a 1936 Morris Eight Tourer), a couple of the batteries we had fitted had died :( To alleviate this problem, roughly three years ago I purchased a trickle charger from Halfords, (I'm sure that other outlets must sell similar units)...

New rear bump stops arrived from Wins today :P I assume, since they would appear to be a screw in item, that the raised centre piece I have on the car is all that remains of the old one and that it needs to be unscrewed. Any hints on its removal :?

Had a couple of free hours today, so decided to fit the replacement Vacuum advance unit I recently purchased. Simple enough job :shock: I have had the distributor off before and not encountered any problems with refitting, but this morning I am a bit confused (doesn't take much). As I had...

Having recently seen several topics on indicator or hazard problems, and in a bid to resolve my own problems with hazards, I thought I would post my cleanup procedure of the hazard warning switch, (even though this turned out not to be the culprit in the end :( ) First a picture of the...

Just got back from the MOT test centre, and happy to report that last years advisory for the handbrake is off the list, thanks to replacing the rear calipers, so another pass but with a blank sheet. Well chuffed :D The guy was actually quite impressed with the brakes performance, and said they...

OK, so it's my turn to visit the rear calipers after noticing a nasty leak on the offside one. Been through the WM procedure to remove them, and am stuck at the last hurdle of removing the pivot nut. The nut is surrounded by some form of spring which doesn't seem to want to budge, so not sure...

The remote bushes on my LT77 five-speed conversion had always needed doing, as now and again I could hear a rubbing noise in time with the road speed, and changing gear, (normally from cold for some reason), could be a bit hit and miss. I was finally forced to replace them, as the remote had...

Finally got around to installing the Simon BBC electronic ignition, but have hit a snag :( I removed the points and condenser to reveal the plate onto which the unit will be installed...... .....but as you can see in the next picture, the trigger ring will not fit over the cams, as there is...

Does anybody know the length of the Rear Lower Arm bolt that goes through the small front bush on a 3500S? Too late to call Wins now, where I purchased it from, but it just looks short to me. In the above picture the nut is not completely on the bolt, and as you can see there will be no bolt...

Must be the day for MOT passes, as mine passed as well today :P As with others a couple of advisories, but nothing too major. A rovering we shall continue........

The car has been running fine recently, except that she has exhibited the dreaded vapour lock symptoms of not wanting to run as sweetly when re-started after stopping for a while. She has never really had any issues like this before, has an electric pump fitted with all pipes and hoses wrapped...

Not Rover specific, but relevant to any fault finding in general. I have not been posting on here much recently, as I have been too busy doing an engine rebuild on my partners 1936 Morris Eight Tourer. How she looked before... It belonged to her late father, so no pressure to get it right...

Am I missing something :lol: As the title says, I simply want to remove the sump from my V8 3500S. WM says: Remove sump drain plug - Check Drain Oil and refit plug - Check Remove sump - No Check I see the sixteen bolts that need to be removed, but I am unable to get either a socket or a...

Maybe it's my age, but it seems that my better half is having to remind me more and more, to switch off the lights on the Rover when I park in the garage :shock: I do like the feature on moderns whereby the headlights switch off with the ignition, so I decided to add the same feature to the...

I have been building a Tacho conversion circuit for my RVI current sensing Tacho, to an RVC contact breaker sensing one, so it will work with my electronic ignition. I will add more details here when I can about the project, but here is a little taster :D The circuit board fixed on the Tacho...

I'm changing to a Simon BBC electronic ignition and need to get rid of the ballast resistor. Doing electrics doesn't phase me (pun intended), but I still have a question :? I have read on here various threads about bypassing the ballast resistor for new coils requiring the full +12V, and most...

Just a quick one I hope :shock: I have a 5 speed gearbox installed in my car, and as far as I can tell it is an LT77 gearbox. The serial number is 19A 01568260 if it helps at all. The speedo is not particularly stable so I would like to see if re-lubricating the cable has any effect, so am...

Finally got around to sorting out the windscreen wiper delay, which has never worked since I purchased the car :( I decided that I would completely strip down the wiper motor, delay governor and wheel boxes, clean everything, re-lubricate, re-assemble and pray :shock: :shock: :shock...

Briefly saw a nice red P6 yesterday, along the seafront in Great Yarmouth, around 5:30-6:00PM. I couldn't make out any more details unfortunately, and by the time I could get my camera out she had gone :( Anyone on here?

Just got home from a great day at Waddesdon for the P6 ROC 50th anniversary national show. Well done to all the organisers, and it was also nice to finally put some more faces to names from on here. As usual with my Mrs, she never goes anywhere without her camera, and also talked the Manor...

Anybody who is going to Waddesdon on Sunday possess a brake servo air valve piston? I have been told that they can be either 9mm or 10mm but when I measured mine it was 3/8" which works out as 9.5mm??? It is for my servo which is giving me sticking brakes syndrome, and all effects seem to point...

Got around to doing the brake servo overhaul, and have the unit off of the car and got to point 16 in the repair operation manual, whereby the slave cylinder has already been separated from the vacuum chamber, and it says to simply "withdraw the pushrod and internal parts from the slave...

Tomorrow will be the cars first MOT under My Ownership :? and I wondered if there was anything that I should look out for at the MOT test centre. For example, I'm sure I have read here somewhere that some testers insist that the handbrake cable is too slack, when it is actually correct for...

Had a passing wave today :D with the owner of a Brown P6 on the A47 between Eye and Thorney in Cambridgeshire. Anyone on here???
