Hi just got my P6 v8 auto back from the mot station. It failed because of rear brakes not working efficiently plus poor handbrake and no stop lights. I've booked it into the garage to get things sorted but wondering why the stop lights aren't working. Should I get get a new switch and if so...

hi I know Harvey has written a lot about the oil level in the gearbox. My dip stick says "check cold" but I gather that's not correct. The oil level is well above the check cold mark when it is cold. So is the dip stick not the correct one or is this just a British Layland mistake. Thanks

Hi I know there has been a lot of discussion about this so I decided to go ahead and fit one. I've purchased an old mgb bottle but having trouble fitting it as there is so little space. I see from previous threads that some people have managed to fit a plastic see through bottle. Anyone got any...

hi, I'm sure this must have been covered somewhere. My park and delay on my mk2 V8 auto don't work so I thought it might be within my skills to have a look at this over the winter. Any advice / pointers from other threads bearing in mind the motor etc all seem fine. Thanks

help Looking for a speedometer cable angle drive to go on the automatic gearbox end of my P6 V8 auto. Ta

i read on here that Alexandra P is the heater guru. Anyone have the contact details. Thanks

im selling my P6. This car has been restored from top to bottom, including a full 'Rolls Royce ' interior. It cost in excess of £15000 to get it restored, with all new parts. The engine and gearbox had approx 65000 miles when I bought it. ( this was confirmed by the person that paid for the...

hi, for some unknown reason my temperature gauge has decided not to work anymore. I've earthed the cable from the sensor to check the sensor and the gauge refuses to move, so I'm assuming it's a problem with the cable or the gauge itself. All the other gauges work fine. If I take out the gauge...

hi Looking for recommendations for a good reliable company to take out breakdown cover with, for my 1971 p6. My insurance has breakdown cover included but past experience using that company was rubbish, leaving both myself and my wife high and dry, hence I want a separate breakdown cover. Thanks...

hi, having changed my speedometer in my p6 v8 auto because it was reading low I was told that I had a 2000 speedo in hence the low reading. The speedo that I removed had the ref. SN5345/08AS 1504. The replacement speedo which seems to show the correct readings (according to my sat nav) has ref...

hi Can anyone out there tell me when they fitted the ammeter/oil pressure gauge on the series 2 p6 v8 when the oil pressure gauge showed a red and green segment. Seen them on the internet but for left hand drive cars. Would that fit a right hand drive car as it would nicely balance out the...

hi I'm sure you guys out there have discussed this before, but I'm a new to the v8 and am trying to sort minor niggles so bear with me. I have changed my speedometer which was fitted when I bought the car as it apparently was from a 2000. The replacement is steady up to about 40mph then starts...

hi As the colder weather is on its way I thought I'd try the heater today on my run. Having bought the car a couple of months ago I've never tried it until now. Unfortunately little or no heat emerged from it. The return heater pipe is Luke warm so I assume the hot water isn't going through it...

help I feel like an idiot asking this but where is the screw that holds the plastic end cap on the alternator. I have the same problem as Ron mentioned in his post regarding the ammeter showing negative when the headlights are on so I thought I'd check the brushes. I do get 14v plus at the...

hi Anyone got any recommendations for getting the internals of my radio to receive fm. Cheers

Hi, just acquired a fully restored p6 3500 and I'm getting a tinny/metallic knocking noise when I go over bumps,large or small, in the road. Tried bouncing up and down on the suspension and not a murmur however as soon as on the road its back again. Had it on a ramp and neither the mechanic or I...

hi Any ideas where I can get a new/reconditioned speedo for the mark 2 rover p6 v8. It's the round type. Failing that where can I get it recalibrate. Ta

hi, I'm a new member and have just acquired a series 2 p6 3500 auto. It's starting to give me starting problems. When I turn on the ignition it just goes click, turn off turn on again and maybe click or the car starts. New battery so leads all ok, is this a sign of starter/solenoid problems. Ta Mike
