Hi I'm a new member from Ireland and I've got a P2 . I'm looking for the sunroof seals as mine is leaking has any body got any contact's. Thanks
 
Euan, The sunroof cavity might have drains in the corners - this is usual practice, but despite having owned a P2, I never noticed these - check in the front corners. If you see holes in the corners, probe gently with something flexible, with a blunt end. DO NOT push vigorously with anything, as if there is a rubber tube involved you may push it off. Best solution is check underneath for where the tube may come out of the body, out of the A pillar - if you find the tube, try pushing upwards to clear any obstruction in the drain. You may have to remove the A pillar trims to locate or even replace the drain tubes. There may also be drain tubes in the rear corners of the cavity, check underneath for their exit - maybe somebody who has stripped a P2, or even P3, might comment? Only exciting time I had with the P2 was coming home from work late one night and feeling a strange drag from the rear. Found the rear end of the RHS leaf spring had broken. There was a bushy bit of parkland close by, so I scrounged a bit of tree branch ~ 1.5" dia, jacked the rear corner up high, jammed the branch into the shackle a foot, and limped home....
 
The Rover Sports Register has a good write up in their reprinted Workshop manual about the Sunroof refurb. if you need any information. Baines Rubber do a number of extrusions etc that might be of use as well Coh-Baines
