Thanks again. Ron any advice would be much appreciated.

Guys thank you very much. I'm thinking this might be too much for me. I think I'll take it to a professional mechanic. Again, thanks so much for the advice.

Hi There, A bit of an embarrassing one...I was told a year ago at rego check my Idler Arm was worn. I searched around and got a reconditioned one delivered. Then I proceeded to look in the manual and also under the car and I couldn't find it!!!! Does anyone know where this is situated in a RHD...

Hi Colin, I've not seen the oil pressure light come on, which is a relief. I have not checked with a separate gauge, not sure I have ever seen one. I will do some research. Neil not sure about the plunger, is this a part that is accessible for cleaning?

Hi There, I've been driving my car a bit more lately after just finishing the interior refurb. I've noticed that the oil pressure is dropping at idle about 1/3 of the way in to the red. This is only after I've driven for about 30 minutes and it's well and truly warm. It never used to do this...

Thanks for all the nice compliments. A professional trimmer replaced all sections of vinyl that were cracked with new vinyl. Then the entire seats were spray painted with a special beige flexible paint specifically for trim.

Nice one Russ, what brand of vinyl is it? Is there a link to where I could but some?

Hi All, Some photos of the finished interior on Grover. Thanks for all your advice. I got the carpet from Coverdale, the trims for the doors were SA Large Edge Trim from The Automobile trimming company, used lots of dynamat and also got a new handbrake surround from NZ. Seats and rear shelf...

Actually it's not that bad, but there's definitely weight to it. The box I got weighed about 20kg's and did the whole car and I had left over for the boot. I've not driven it yet but all the reviews say it's excellent for noise suppression. Just FYI for anyone looking at this thread in the...

Hahaha yes I over ordered. You should see the rest of the car. A completely silent 2.5 tonne P6.

Hi Guys, Work is going well on the car, old carpet out and new carpet on the way. I'm trying to tackle the upper boot lining, the original cardboard like material is now rubbish. Does anyone know where one can buy similar material to cut? I can't seem to find any. I've attached some photos of...

Guys now hit a real snag...any thoughts on getting the park brake rubber brake off?

Guys sorry figured it out...pushing the tabs inwards...obviously not a smoker.

Hi guys, getting stuck into removing the interior for new carpet...have hit a snag, I can’t get the ashtrays out! Any thoughts?

Looks like we've got half the country covered....

Good luck with the search. I'm in Sydney.

I'm looking for D Post's on line, they appear structural. Is this something a home mechanic could do? I was hoping the outer panel could be adjusted...Perhaps I'm missing something?

I will do this. It's certainly not running on fat tyres but could well have done in the past. Where in Oz are you?

Thank you I will do that.

Hi once more, final post for the night I promise! My wing mirror is tatty. It is pitted and the glass is a bit chipped. Does anyone know where one could source one of these? Are they a generic BL item or Rover specific? I think a new one would be cheaper than trying to re chrome the existing...

I hope I'm describing these correctly. Photo attached. As you can see, my cloth seals are very tatty. Does anyone know what the correct name is for these and are they available for replacement? Finally, is it an easy thing to replace? Looks to me like they slip on and off but any tricks/tips...

Hi There, first let me wish all of my English friends on the forum all the very best with the Covid 19 lockdown. In Australia, where it's not as severe, we're all very worried about you and wish you the best. This is the first of three posts on my P6. I want to spruce it up and one thing which...

All to conclude this thread the brakes are on and are working fine. Thank you for all your help.

Thank you all for your advice. Yes I have the special cap with the split pin through it. I've got it back together, just waiting on a new caliper spreader for the new pads and should be ready for a road test.

Hi Guys, process of brakes going quite well, discs are off being machined....Just wondering, when I removed the Big Nut to take off the hub and disc, it didn't appear to be on very tight. Is there a torque setting for this or a tip for re tightening?
