Hi, does anyone have any contact details for the ex member on here John Glinn, I've lost his email and am trying to get in touch with him. Thanks.

I've got a bit of a blow from the exhaust on my '68 V8 P6b where it meets the manifold (see pic). It looks like something is missing, is there a bit of gasket missing or is it just on the join and something i can fill with exhaust paste? The middle box has also developed a hole so am thinking...

I don't use my 68' P6b that regularly and have it attached to a trickle charger. We went for a 70 mile drive on Friday and I went to move the car after being parked for about 20 minutes and the battery was completely dead? We had a breakdown company jump start us on the Sunday and drove straight...

Hi, I normally do the easy general servicing on my '68 P6b but think it would benefit from a bit of a tune up (Carbs set up and balanced and another couple of bits looked at possibly even fitting an electronic ignition) I'm looking for someone who might be able to do this work for me in the...

This was in Texas but not a NADA? [/URL][/IMG]

Just starting to try and get my head around basic timing on my "68 P6b. Here is what I know. I bought the car about 10 years ago off of a well known previous member John Glinn who had a very good knowledge of most things P6 wise. I know that he set the timing at TDC (zero degrees) rather than...

I have a 1968 3500 V8 Series 1 P6b. I've been toying with the idea of converting to electronic ignition and just wondered: 1. Is it a worthwhile conversion 2. Which would be the best one for my early V8 3. Is it something that a complete novice like myself could do or would it be best left to...

My brake light on the dash has started flickering on my Series 1. I've checked the fluid level and all ok and have just had an MOT and no issues with the brakes. Any suggestions what the problem might be?

Just having a quick look around while I've got the wheels off before I have an MOT and have just noticed this. Think it's the de dion dust cover? It's got a small tear in it but just wondered if it might be an MOT failure? If it is, is it a specialist job or would a normal type of garage be able...

Just got this oil filter delivered and has a big dent in the bottom, do you reckon I need to get a replacement or will this probably work ok? [/URL][/IMG] [/URL][/IMG]

Just looking to replace all the tyres on my 1968 3500 V8 series 1. It's got Rostyle wheels and the tyres say 185 R14 or 185 S R14 but none of them have the middle number. Are theses the correct size and if so what is the middle number I need, 80, 90, 95? Thanks.

After doing a service last year I managed to lose the rubber bung/cap where you top up the steering fluid. I've used a bit of rubber as couldn't find a replacement. Does anyone have a spare or know where I can purchase one please? Thanks in advance.

Checked my steering box oil level yesterday and as I removed the cap.....pop, it disappeared and I can't find it. Does anyone have a spare, I've tried JR Wadhams but they don't stock them?

I have a 1968 Rover P6b 3500 V8. I run it on super unleaded and add castrol valvemaster to it. What would be best to set the timing at, would it be as standard as in the manual or would it be better to retard it slightly? What are our opinions for the best sensible setting? Thanks.

What's the correct antifreeze to use on a 1968 P6b V8? Cheers.

Hi, just opened my passenger side door and one of the bolts has come out of the bracket at the bottom that holds the restraint and it opened up all the way. I've swapped the other one into the hole that holds it to the door so it works but obviously want to replace the missing bolt that holds...

I have a 1969 P6b 3500 and as above I'm planning on changing the gasket as I've had a small leak for a while. Is there any tips anyone has got out there? I plan on putting some new oil in, so as anyone got a rough idea of how much I'd need top up to replace the amount that will be in the pan...

Hi, I have a 1968 3500 V8 and was looking to fit an electronic ignition. I have seen these for sale http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ws/eBayISAPI. ... TQ:GB:1123 but am aware that these are for the later type points set up than I have. I have a Lucas 41176 distributor and this takes the earlier type...

Hi, I'm getting the drivers door repaired and repainted and am stripping it down. How do I remove the side window glass as I need to get to the bolts securing the handle and lock to remove them for the work and cant get at them with the glass in situ. Thanks.

Does anyone know if you can get the small clips with the rubber on which go at the front and back edge of where the window frame goes into the doors. You have the main strip along the window glass and one of these clips either end? Mine are badly perished and am having some work done on the door...

I've had a small leak coming from the gearbox sump (only very small). I had the mechanic clean it all off and check when I last had a bit of work done and he said some of the bolts were a little loose so he nipped them up a bit, but not too tight as to damage the cork gasket. I'm still getting a...

I've had a few problems with my battery recently and have decided to buy a new one. Has anyone got any recommendations on where to get one that fits well with the correct configuration etc. Don't know if it makes any difference but it's for a 1968 3500 P6b. Cheers. :D
