The tube in my 1974 3500 is of the grease type. Recalling a phone conversation with a Rover mechanic here in Sydney during the late 1980s, I mentioned to him this fact, to which he replied,..there is no such thing! All tubes are oil filled he said. I said that a friend and fellow 1974 P6B owner's car also featured a grease type de dion. He replied,..oh so there are two of you! Needless to say, I did NOT take my Rover to that business.
I mention the above story as a lead in to my question. Are the majority of cars in the U.K fitted with the oil filled de dion? Was there a specific year in which the grease type were fitted?
The spare parts book lists only one de dion part number, altough it does list the various parts specific to each type. The work shop manuals make no mention of the grease type.
