Here is a link to a folder full of pictures including lots of the original build where it was transformed from a scrap standard 3500s into what it is today. The car is now dry stored and offers over £3,000 are welcome. The rust spots are the drivers side sill and a couple of small patches in the...

For sale to fund a new business venture so cash sale only please. 1972 Rover P6 that has been modified and now runs with a 3.9 Rover V8 on an Edelbrock 500 4 barrel carb from an American Muscle car. Running a 5 speed manual gearbox (lt77) instead of the original 4 speed and the car was...

Ive only noticed its lower in one corner than the others since having the car sat on drive up car ramps over the winter. Im thinking its more of a sagging shock than a broken spring as you cant hear any knocking or clonking either when you drive or when standing next to the car and pushing on...

Thanks for the replies guys, yeah will have a proper look underneath when Im next at the shed, was just thinking if it needs new springs, was wondering what other options there could be. It is modified and using bigger wheels than orginal, but I dont want to lower it too much if any as that will...

Having finally sorted the oil leak on my P6, I took it for a spin round the block at the weekend and discovered it looks lower on the drivers side rear corner than the passenger side. It seems to be abit more 'wollowy' on the road too. Im pretty new to the P6, but when the car was restored by...

Turns out even the upgraded gears were too tight in the timing cover too so just went back to the original ones and cut the long bolts down so we could use 10mm sockets and spanners. Seems oil tight so far!

Yeah will do. I have 2 different length bolts (some of each length) with the kit but neither fit past the filter casing.

Hi guys, got an upgraded oil pump kit to fit onto my V8 to hopefully cure a leak and improve the oil system. But Im having a problem with the longer bolts that came with the kit. One that goes in behind the oil filter housing is too long to physically fit into the hole as you are coming in at an...

IM DECIDING TO KEEP THIS NOW, SO ITS NOT FOR SALE AT THE MOMENT, SORRY! Im assuming the seats are from a p-reg kind of age Fial Coupe. The guy that built it had his workshop just round the corner from a car breakers so Im guessing it got them from a there. They are very comfy and hold you in...

Possibly deciding to sell my modified P6 Rover V8, only as I may have found a car that Ive always wanted and wouldnt be able to keep both! Full sale will depend on weather I actually purchase the other car or not as I haven't viewed it yet, but thought I would list this P6 now to gauge possible...

Hope the pic makes more sense, the earth wire is green, and the other one (yellow with black heat shrink on) is the one with the spade connector on it. Just assumed that was the one that goes on the sensor as the connector fits thats all but will try them the other way round. I have changed the...

Hi guys, need some help with getting my temp gauge to work. its never worked since Ive had the car and with summer here its probably one of the most important dials so need to get it working really! I have 2 wires at the sensor end on the engine, but only 1 spade on the actual sensor. I plug...

Cheers for the help guys, thats the next job to do then!

Cool, cheers. Yeah that sounds a good plan to me!

How do you get them re-calebrated then? I think the sender cable has come off when we was last underneath it as I was driving home from the workshop when the speedo just fell back to 0. I havent been underneath since and have just used a satnav to see what speeds Im doing at what revs and...

Hi guys, since my P6 has been modified with a 3.9 V8, an SD1 manual gearbox, a 2000 diff and bigger wheels, the original speedometer (circular one) was way out and has now stopped working all together, Im looking for an electronic replacement. But Im a little lost as to which are best and they...

Cheers guys, yeah I havent seen those pics of it before, that was the previous owner (the guy that built it) as he was from yarmouth way. Had a few issues with it the past couple of months but seems to be pretty much sorted now, apart from the passenger side front tyre rubs the arch when I have...

Hi guys, just wondered if there are any hints or tips as to help my issue with the handbrake sticking on my P6. Had a look at it on my mates ramps yesterday (they do look a very intricate system I must say!) but we managed to free them off and re-grease it and thought we got it returning...

Thanks guys, yeah he did do alot of cutting and chopping to make the wheels fit, and yes they are Jeep wheels. Im not sure the finer details as I havent had it up on ramps. Although I do need to figure out where the oil leak is coming from on the engine so when I get it on the ramps, I'll take...

Hi guys, thought I'd share some pics with you all after abit of a winter drive last week. Its a 1972 P6, thats now fitted with a 3.9 V8 from a Range Rover, with an Edelbrock Carb and 5 speed manual box from an SD Rover. I bought the car ready built, just needing to do the finishing touches to...

Arr brilliant, thats just the info I was looking for! Cheers. Yeah the running gear and bodywork has been done pretty well, its just the finishing touches that needs some attention!

Arr right, that explains that then. Looks like the blowers are coming on and going off of their own accord too so the wiring needs looking at for sure. At least I will have warmish feet now then! I am right in thinking there are only 3 speeds to the blowers, off, half and full? I realise the...

Been having a play round with the leavers and things, managed to get warm air to come into the cabin but only by your feet. If you open the face vents at the same time, they blow cold. And I cant seem to get anything onto the screen. That was my most important position really to help with...

Cool, cheers will have a look over the weekend. Just had a quick glance under the bonnet and Ive got the pipe from the front of the engine (from the waterpump) going to the top of the matrix, and the water pipe from the back of the engine going to the bottom of the matrix. Is that right?

Hi guys, need some assistance on finding out why the Heaters in my P6 only blow cold. It was originally a 3500 V8 but its now been fitted with a 3.9 V8 from a Range Rover. The guy who built it said he didnt touch the heaters as he built it in the summer and didnt need them. But both pipes that...
