Oh yes please John, let me have his contact details. I need the plastic socket thing that goes at the bottom of the gear selector assembly.

Hi John, I am currently in St Francis Bay but on the point of moving to PE. I have had my car for 30 years and just in the last few minutes, completed the conversion to electric fan cooling. Fast hey? My car has only done 64k kms so you can see I don’t drive it often. I am a little...

I am bit late commenting but here in SA, I had the diaphragm in my advance capsule replaced by a local distributor company. The clever thing they do and I don’t know how, is to open the thing up and close it again, leaving no tell tale marks at all. It cost the equvilant of about £11 and works...

Phil please accept my apologies for not replying before but I have been having more problems with myself than with the Old Lady. The pipe is the thin one from the carb tower to the radiator header tank. All the best for 2019 to you and everyone.

Harvey I am, I think, a victim of my own stupidity. My car has BW35, so 571933 is the right one yes?

Ok I have ansered my own question, Wins is the actual Rover number.

Wins has this part listed below, sounds right but p/no is different to the one suggested by Harvey. The Greys offer the same p/no as Harvey. They both claim it is genuine, any coments. Gearstick Spherical seating bush (has small pin going into it) GENUINE - 571933

Thanks for that Mark, I really do appreciate your offer. I will keep you posted.

Cobraboy, I replaced the rear screen rubber with one I got from Winns a couple of years ago. It is a bugger of a job, you may need a sharp chisel and mawl (mallet) to remove some of the rock hard rubber from the channel! Not sure if that applies at the front but the rubber fitted fine. Any small...

Thanks again Harvey, as my car is one of the last assembled in SA in late 73, I think I can safely assume that this is the correct part. You are a mine of information.

Thanks for that Gerald. I have owned 2 of these cars, this one for 30 years, purely as a hobby and its predecessor as a daily driver, for about 6 years before that. Having never experienced this problem before, I never had to look at the mechanism. Now I must find a parts supplier and get it...

Thanks Harvey, this has only just happened so I think, because it is not too bad yet, that I can do that run. I should not have to use the lever once under way. I just have to find the right workshop now. Interestingly my original car covered a huge distance without problems whilst this one has...

Hello there, I am a new member and have just experienced a problem with my gear selector. Car is a 73 P6 3500. The selector has suddenly got sloppy and won’t lock into P now. Is this the same problem as that discussed above? I am too ancient to climb under the car to look. Can the lever...

You would think that after owning P6bs for forty years I would have learned that cause of erratic running, stalling and refusing to move when hot. Well there’s one born every day and I only read about it when I dicovered and joined this forum last week. It is something that has bugged my car for...

Thanks guys for the input. I did a test run today and find the engine transformed. The carbs are HIF6. Now to tackle the back brakes and deDion boot.

Greetings to you all. I am in South Africa and have been a P6 owner for the past 40 years or so, I am 81. My first was a ‘73 I saw languishing in a used car lot. Its Mexico brown bodywork was well banged about, its odo reading was in doubt but the interior was ok and it ran well. I think the...
