    P6 Front Spring cushions.

    Rover P6 Front spring cushions/pads seem unavailable from all suppliers. But there must be compatible ones from another car. Has anyone done this research and found the answer?

    P6 wiper delay.

    I've just repaired the wiper delay units on both my 3500 and 2000TC. Both can be removed from the wiper motor in situ, with a modicum of fiddliness. Both had the same fault and I'd presume most P6s would be the same. On the side opposite the plunger is a one way air valve. The spring for the...

    Testing viscous fan coupling

    As far as I can tell, the P6B viscous coupling is just that and has no thermostatic capability, unlike the clutch fans we are accustomed to on more modern cars. Presumably it's role is just to limit the torque applied to the fan so that the fan reaches a certain optimum speed and goes no faster...
