    Chrome door lock covers

    The chrome door lock covers on the front doors which rotate out of the way to reveal the key lock are very loose on my car they rattle about. What is it that should keep them tight and flush with the main body of the lock. Any one know a fix

    Efi or other car alternatives

    When I've been bord and started messing about in ebay I've seen rover efi set ups come up for sale and wondered about fitting one to my 3500S (it already has sd1 heads). I guess it's not an easy upgrade or everyone would do it but how in depth a job is it an what would you need. Or is it just...

    Webasto style sunroof can you still get them

    Can you still get folding style sunroofs fitted. Always fancied getting one fitted to my 3500S. I know the big maker back in the day was Webasto but can't find anyone that still supplies/fits them. I keep looking out for a second hand one but they don't come round very often from what I can see.

    Queries about oil presure sender

    Yes the light does come on. I have also had the oil pressure light on in very hit weather stuck in traffic at low idle very occasionally so I think and hope the engine is ok and it is a sender problem.

    Queries about oil presure sender

    I've always had low oil presure on my gauge on my p6 3500S. As in zero when stationary after its warmed up. The oil light never comes on and I had a compression test and all is good so I am told the oil presure sender units are temperamental with age. Is it the oil presure sender unit that is...

    3500S gearbox leak

    Had a good look at the gearbox today the leak is certainly from the rear of the box either the out put shaft or the gasket near to the rear. It could be the output shaft area as there is oil all over suggesting it's getting spun around. Harveyp6 you mentioned this could be done with the gear...

    Irrational speedometer

    I looked at my parts manual and i think there is only one angle drive on the back of the head on the manual box though Im happy to be corrected. I did wonder if they went but at £40 odd I didn't want to just buy one and waste my money if it was something else

    Irrational speedometer

    I have an unusual issue with my seepometer in that it generally under reads by quite a bit but if you stick to the same speed for a short bit then the creeps up to what seems more accurate. Strange part is that if you dip the clutch it drops again. If you blip the accelerator with the car in...

    3500S gearbox leak

    Is the manual gearbox on the 3500S prone to leaking. I seem to have one. I've had a look but can't seem to work out where it's coming from. I can see where it's been dripping onto the exhaust. Wonder if there is a place that they do leak or a gasket that might need renewing

    Rear crank rope seal

    Sure there is a reason you can't do this but can you not undo the bearing caps and lower the crank slightly to allow you to fit another seal in place?

    Rear crank rope seal

    Has anyone replaced this with the engine in situ? Mine leaks and I read in the original workshop manual that this can be replaced without a complete strip down but I think back in the day they used a special tool. Just wondered if it was do'able and any tips for the job.

    Brake light switch

    I need to replace the brake light switch but I'm struggling to find it. Sure that sounds stupid but I assumed that it would be around the pedal box but I can't see it. Also when I do replace it will I need to re bleed the brakes after or iis it just Purley in the electrical part and not part of...
