Gentlemen, I sorry to say that on my way home on the east bound M4 around 14:00 I saw an incident involving two P6 Rovers, one was pulling the other on a trailer and the outfit was partially down a bank going west bound with the trailered rover half off the trailer. Driver and passenger were...

Gentlemen, Having now welded in a replacement boot floor in my P6 I noticed that the De Dion tube gaiter is in need of replacement, I cant remember where this one came from but its only lasted 18 months and its disintegrated beyond recognition. Can anybody tell me where I can buy another...

Chris, My 69 V8 has been difficult to start of late and had similar conditions to J's car, in the end my brother and I ran a feed from the battery to the starter motor to bypass the gearbox switch for a test and the engine has never turned over so quick. Next is to check the switch and...

Brother took solenoid apart last night and cleaned up contact plate, sorted wiring to starter and it worked correctly. It would seem that the starter problems we have had since buying the car was down to incorrect connections highlighted by a faulty starter solenoid. Martin P

Chris, Not yet, my problem is that I have to be able to collect it and every where is to far away including Winns. Martin P

Gentlemen, Well took my duff starter apart and stripped also a couple of my brothers spares and even though outwardly they looked the same and had the same solenoids the casting where it mounts to the motor body is totally different as is the internals so back to square one, does anybody have a...

Colin, Didnt realise that it came off, thanks. Martin P

Gentlemen, My Brother and I have been spending the last two weekends fitting a new boot floor into the Rover until yesterday afternoon when we ran out of gas so this morning we decided to sort out the intermittent starter fault, my brother races Land Rover trialers so has plenty of spares, we...

Amazing how things crop up, my Brother and I found that number last weekend whilst assessing the repair to the boot floor and wondered what it was for. Nick, if ok will be calling on you sometime Friday afternoon to collect boot floor as arranged. Martin P

Thanks, not seen that before. On other Forums they disapear when sent. Martin P

Nick, I've sent you a PM but its seems to be stuck in my outbox and wont leave. Martin P

Gentlemen, I have a small problem with my boot floor, I thought I had a small hole but after a lot of poking around I have a completely rotten floor, does anybody know if there is a repair panel or does somebody have a good floor from a parts car. If you click on the link you will see how bad...

Wins !!!!!

Gentlemen, Not wishing to hijack this post but right angled drives cropped up, where can I get both ends. I'm told that if the gearbox end breaks its because of the speedo end so want to replace both. Martin P

Gentlemen, Its been a while since I asked question, I went to Halfords with the old battery spec and tape measure and found a direct replacement at what I considered a good price. I fitted it and started the car, I didnt realise the engine could spin over so fast :D My brother builds off road...

Gentlemen, Battery failed on sunday night, I am a service engineer so hoped I might pick one up before I get back home on Friday night as have been away all week. Will have to leave until weekend. Martin P

Gentlemen, The cold weather has finally killed my Battery off, I cant complain as I have had the car nearly five years and it was fitted when I bought it, can anybody point me to a national supplier who make one which will fit the hole in the boot of a Series 1 V8 please. Martin P

Gentlemen, Thanks to your musings I put the Rover on Ramps at the rear this morning and removed the tube and apart from damaging one of the stud threads which I had to run a Die Nut down the whole job was done in a couple of hours including avoiding the monsoon rain. I will refill with oil in...

Gentlemen, Spoke to Ian this morning and my Daughter ordered the parts from him this afternoon, hopefully will have to spend saturday sorting it all out, thanks for your help. Martin P

Keynsham1 & vaultsman, Thanks for info, I must admit there is no sign of oil its all dry I just have a split gaitor. Its an oil filled series 1. Would it not be worth the effort to replace the seals and regarding the point of not leaning on the car I assume this is so I dont spread the wheels...

Gentlemen, Forgot to ask, where can I buy the kit from, I have a place I'm going to on my way to Portsmouth tomorrow but just in case where else can I get it. Thanks, Martin P

Gentlemen, I think I know the answer but will still ask, I'm checking my P6 for its MOT and have found a hole at the base of the De Dion Gaiter which means I currently have no oil in the tube so its needs replacing, will this fail the MOT. I have considered sealing with a sealer temporarily if...

Gentlemen, Thanks for responses, I have PM'd Chris. Martin P

Gentlemen, I have been asked by a friend if I know of a source of Radiators as he wants one for his 3500 series 1 Auto, can anybody point us in a direction please. Martin P

Jim, I took my sender to our local motor factors and the part no on it matched early Range Rover parts. Martin P
