I need to change my rear dampers, so I removed the old ones and in that process removed the plate holding the dampers to the rear bottom link. When attempting to put it all back together again I find that I can´t tighten the bolts fastening the plate to the rear bottom link. They go in alright...

Again I turn to the learned members of this forum to help me. Please don´t think I´m daft, but do any of you know if any brakeparts (preferably the servo and the brake master cylinder) are interchangeable betwen a P6 V8 and a Volvo Amazon or a Volvo 142? All three cars seem to have Girling...

Hi Has anyone tried putting a pressure regulator (one brand is called Filterking) on the fuel line before the carburators? I thought it might give my car a smoother running engine. It has a habit of stalling and refusing to start after a short run. PS My compliments to this forum and its...

I´m going to change the front discs on my -73 P63500 but before I go about it I´d like to know if there are any special tools required, or if there´s anything special to keep in mind while dismantling/reassembling? All tips are welcome.

The sparkplugs on my P6 V8 are stuck, and I´m afraid of damaging the engine if I use to much force to loosen them. Is there a danger of cracking the material around the hole where the plug goes in or of breaking the plug in two, making it impossible to remove it? Any useful ideas on how to...

If I refurbish the brakediscs for my P6 V8, what´s the minimum thickness? I need to grind some of the rust away to make them look nice again. I live in Sweden so if anyone knows the minimum thickness in millimeters, I´d really appreaciate it. (We´ve got the metric system).

I want to get the pistons out of my front calipers because I need to rebuild them with new rubberseals. How do I remove the pistons? I´ve tried using compressed air, but only one of the smaller ones popped out. The other small one is halfway out, but the big one won´t move. Any suggestions? The...

I just bought a spare engine (V8) for my 1973 Rover P6. On the side is what appears to be an identificationcode. It reads: 34115831F. Can I from the code tell what year the engine was produced? Is there anything else the code tells me? I live in Sweden, so the engine probably comes from an...

Is it possible to use brakecomponents from a fourcylinder donor car on a V8, or are they different from each other? Any advice?

When changing the rear dampers on my -73 P6B I thought I might replace the springs as well. However, it seems as if original ones are hard to get. Does anyone know of alternatives from more modern cars, that you can get at any wellstocked car-mart?

I´m going to change the rear dampers on my -73 P6B, but I can´t see how I can remove them from within the spring (as described in the Haynes-manual). Do I need to pull the springs together or even remove them to make room for the swap?

My P6B has developed a problem. The engine starts nicely with good oilpressure and choke about halfway out. After driving a couple of hundred meters I stop momentarily at a redlight or a crossing. When pulling away the engine seems powerless. I have to really floor the accelarator to get it...

This is probably a silly question, but I´d like to know where the flame traps are located, and how to remove them. There´s no mention of them in my workshop manual. Can anyone please tell me?

The alternator on my 1973 P6B is getting a bit tired and won´t charge properly, so I´m thinking of getting a new one. Has anyone got any suggestion to other brands or types of alternator than the original Lucas in my car? I would like something that gives a bit more power and is perhaps more...
