Introducing myself to a bunch of complete strange petrol heads? Sure! Why not? There aren't enough madcaps in the world. This is a babelfisch translation of my adventure. Call if things ain't clear. Ohm anno man Oman Oman! I bought a Rover 2000 on e-bay five years ago. Hear my song...

hello, on the off chance ... Do you happen to have a 1:3.7 differential for sale from a Wolseley or Riley 1500, a Morris Minor or some other compatible rear axle (perhaps Marina, Allegro etc. ) to fit a 1979 MG Midget 1500? Or a cheap but use-able j-type gear box with overdrive from...

Hello, the day has come! The Fleet is insured on classic contracts, i.e. minimum driver age is 25. My nice, though, spending a year on exchange from Germany turned 17 and her provisional license appeared in the post today. Her first proper driving lesson will be very shortly and she passes...

Hello! I am tracing water ingress problems and came across the following open question? Which way around do the plastic "ears" face that are held by a plastic implant, glued into the rear pillars between rear door and rear screen? Mine are facing inwards and that seems odd. With elevated...

Hi! My Midget drops the door mirror whenever it goes over 75 mph! What can I do to tighten the mirror action? it is an original tex mirror with 2 screws. Not too dissimilar from the mirror on my p6. Many thanks, as usual. Bandito.

Hello, I suppose this topic falls a bit inbetween gearboxes and Suspension. I need to replace the UJs on my driveshafts. One side in particular. My questions are: what parts do I need? (Ujs, de-dion gaitors etc.) what new seals and gaskets do I need? Is it ok to do one side at a time or should...

Hello, Are there any reduced price tickets available still for Beaulieu Auto jumble on the 12-13th September? Thanks! Bandito

Hello, I need help with the following. The original choke bowden cable has a plastic outer sheath. At the carburettor side the ferrule is connected to the outer plastic sheath (seems like one part, originally) and the carburettor with a small plinth. I stupidly have removed the ferrule...

Hello, I am looking for a thermostat that switches at 77 degrees C for my 2200 P6. The one installed now seems to be switching too early. If I remember correctly, it does it when the cooling liquid reaches 72 C. Consequently, the car is running cold, in particular during the cold season...

Ho Ho Ho! What is the generic name of P6 wheel bearings? I thought to put some of my Christmas money aside to buy a complete set of wheel bearings for my 1970 2000SC P6 (with a 2200 engine). Do you know which other bearings fit? Is it a DIY job? Will having it done professionally break the...

Dear Rover Lover, Do you have a Joggler, Joddler, Edge setting tool, you name it, for sale? Perhaps you don't need it anymore or you may have two. I want to start repairing my set of pretty grotty "spare" doors and have never done anything like that. Actually I have an aversion to sheet metal...

Hi, Stories abound of Molasse, phosphoric acid and full moon nights to expose your rusty bits to get a new shine. What is your recommended recip :wink: e to combat tin worm, in particular on parts you cannot reach, in box sections, in doors and inside your wallet, considering the pricey...

HI ! I am looking for door bottom inner repair panels. Or do you suggest to "roll your own"? The doors look pretty curvy around the bottom and invite seasoned panel beaters only to contemplate a repair. Are there any tricks? Thanks! Bandito

After replacing sealed beam units with H4 outer and H1 inner: Does is matter if the outer head lights have a pilot bulb holder? Is it important for MOT? I wanted just to check, that I am not swapping the old headlights for a new problem. Thanks!

Hello, For some cars, some rust proofing agents have compiled charts, detailing where to drill, what to inject and how to close the holes. Do you have some such charts for the P6? Would it be possible to publish these somewhere on the Club's web page? Happy new year! :)

Hello, A Montego Diesel engine in a P6 was offered on ebay the other month. That made me think. There is ample room under the bonnet. Given the never ending stream of questions about problems and failiures with the aging P6 engines one wishes to ask: What alternative engines may fit into a...

5-speed, low consumption, the works! Can anybody in the know please shed some light on the difficulty of putting a Montego engine and gearbox into a P6? It seems like a reasonable way forward after fatal engine failure, though. Best Regards, Bandito.

hello, since quite a while the SU hif6 AUD631 from my P6 2200SC is on the blink. I have found a V8 carb and a set of 2200TC carbs. All are SU hif6, but that seem to help very little, when you consider that nearly 400 different hif6 are in circulation. But can they really all be so different...

Hi , I found a P6 diff and now I would like to gestimate if it was from a small or from a big P6. What do I need to look for to be able to tell which car this differential belongs to? Thanks! :p

Hello, The 2200 SC has a hunting syndrome. Seems only to work satisfactory when accelarating with the pedal near to the floor (quite usual position for most of you?) or with the foot off the pedal. No fine cruising without "a hunting" feel seems possible. Much points to the function of the...
