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 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...

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...

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...

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?

Hi Guys, I'm starting to do some work on the brakes of my 1971 3500. One unusual thing that happens with the car is that when I'm stopped at traffic lights the brake pedal pushes back up against my foot. The brakes remain on and the car doesn't move.....but it's a bit disconcerting. I've never...

Hi Guys, Some advice on jacking for a front brake change please. My front brakes are squealing so I've bought a set of pads. I figure that should be the first change and I'll look at the rotors when I get the wheels up....I've only had the car for a year and never jacked it before. Can you...
