I always use advice given on forums as part of my research, and rarely take anything as gospel. All advice given on here, and other forums that I frequent are subject to people's opinion, sometimes their interpretation of the question, sometimes their firm belief that the advice given is true, and many other factors. Please don't get me wrong, there are certain people who you just trust implicitly and we know who they are, but the rest of us are just relaying our own experiences and opinions based on driving, owning and maintaining our own vehicles.
My first car was a P6, back in 1977 and I have (except for few years of poverty) always owned one since, and I have rebuilt just about every bit of them, but I don't know everything, and never will.
I will always do my best to help anyone on here, and so does everyone else on here.
However, you cannot make everyone, or indeed anyone, on here responsible for your actions. If you wish to take information from a short discussion on threads from two years ago and buy things on the back of it, then that really is your responsibilty.
This is a discussion group who are all here because of our interest in Rovers, especially the P6, and the mass of knowledge on here is quite frankly incredible, but we are not the technical branch of The Rover Company Limited.
